Change table of content HTML markup

Forum topic: Submitted by gkumar48 on Mon, 2010-02-08 23:58.

I am new to DITA and figuring out how to change the generated table of content markup. I have written an XSL which I am able to run in lieu of map2htmltoc.xsl but the issue is that I am not able to find a hook to override the templates in this file.
