RE: [docbook-apps] Trouble with title pages

["Kenneth Johansson" <ke-joh@sectra.se>]

Thanks alot!

I have now a lovely image on my title page!

However, it seems I can't persuade <fo:block-container> to show my title.

I've tried this just to get it on the page but it just won't show up. Its in the fo-source but when I use fop it doesn't show up in the pdf-file.

<fo:block-container absolute-position="fixed" top="240mm" left="100mm">
  <fo:block
    margin-top="3in"
    margin-left="{$page.margin.inner}" 
    margin-right="{$page.margin.outer}"
    text-align="center"
    color="black" 
    font-weight="bold"
    font-family="{$title.font.family}" 
    font-size="30pt">
    <xsl:value-of select="$title"/>
  </fo:block>
</fo:block-container>

I've tried some variations on this but nothing works.

Doesn't fop support <fo:block-container>?

best regards,

/Kenneth
