RE: [docbook-apps] background-image across page regions

["David Cramer" <dcramer@motive.com>]

I don't know of a way to do that in fo, but that's not saying much. I'd suggest asking on one of the fo lists or on the fop list--people there have many tricks up their sleeves. 

If you do find a way to do it with fo, I'd be interested to hear how. 

Thanks,
David

The document itself needs to have margins around it. The idea is to use 
a page-sized image as a background, overlaid by the actual document.
