Add color to index page links
«

Hi, I have another question on index page customizations. I'd like to have my index page links to be in a different color. By default DITA_OT configures the index page links to be black, I want to use a different color code to make these links stand out from their adjacent characters. Is there a way to do it? I tried to change settings in xm_index.xsl and index-attr.xsl, but was not able to get it to work.
I must be clear about what I mean by index page links; index page links are those clickable page numbers on the index page. For example, "body page 14" where "14" is the clickable link and I'd like to color-code it if possible, thanks.

My suggestion was to edit the attribute set __index__page__link but now that I look at it I see that the color is set to blue and yet the output (XMetal Enhanced PDF via Render XEP) is black regardless of what color is specified for the attribute.
<xsl:attribute-set name="__index__page__link">
<xsl:attribute name="color">blue</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name="font-size">10pt</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name="link-back">true</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:attribute-set>
What is odd to me is that the topic.fo file seems to display the correct color information and yet the output is black, for example:
<fo:index-page-citation-list><fo:index-key-reference color="blue" font-size="10pt" link-back="true" ref-index-key="views:change:"/></fo:index-page-citation-list>

Thanks for the reply, that was exactly what I've modified, and it turned out to be black even when the value says blue. I believe this may very well be a bug in DITA OT.
