The autotoc.xsl file contains the templates that automatically generate the
tables of contents.

Ah! I see.

I had read about the toc.line template, but I had been trying to add
that template into my customization layer. I must have been doing
something incorrect, because the color never changed.

When I changed the color in the autotoc.xsl file, the output was exactly
what I wanted.

Thanks very much!
