A big mystery

[Jacques Foucry <jacques@foucry.net>]

Hello list,

I trying to have a custom titlepage.

My xml file content that :

<bookinfo>
         <title>My Book title</title>
         <subtitle>My Book subtitle</subtitle>
         <author>
             <firstname>Jacques</firstname>
             <surname>Foucry</surname>
         </author>
         <revhistory>
             <revision>
                 <revnumber>1.2.0 French</revnumber>
                 <date><?dbtimestamp format="Y-m-d H:M:S"?></date>
             </revision>
         </revhistory>
</bookinfo>

My titlepage.xsl content that :

         <fo:table border-width="0.1pt" border-style="solid">
         <fo:table-body>
           <fo:table-row>
             <fo:table-cell>
               <fo:block text-align="center">
                 <fo:external-graphic src="url('images/Couv/ 
MyLogo.jpg')" width="9.38cm" height="5.5cm"/>
                 </fo:block>
                 </fo:table-cell>
                 </fo:table-row>
                 <fo:table-row>
                   <fo:table-cell>
                     <fo:block text-align="center">
                 <xsl:apply-templates select="bookinfo/title"/>
                 <xsl:apply-templates select="bookinfo/subtitle"/>
                 <xsl:apply-templates select="bookinfo/revhistory/ 
revision/revnumber"/>
                     </fo:block>
             </fo:table-cell>
           </fo:table-row>
         </fo:table-body>
       </fo:table>

And my custom.xsl content that :

<xsl:template match="bookinfo/title">
     <fo:block xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format";
     xsl:use-attribute-sets="book.titlepage.recto.style"
     text-align="center" space-before="15.552pt"
     font-family="{$title.fontset}" font-weight="bold" font-size="64pt"
     color="#999999">
     <xsl:apply-templates select="." mode="book.titlepage.recto.mode"/>
     </fo:block>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="bookinfo/subtitle">
     <fo:block xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format";
       xsl:use-attribute-sets="book.titlepage.recto.style"
       text-align="center" space-before="15.552pt"
       font-family="{$title.fontset}" font-weight="bold" font- 
size="24pt"
       color="#000000">
       <xsl:apply-templates select="."  
mode="book.titlepage.recto.mode"/>
     </fo:block>
   </xsl:template>
   <xsl:template match="bookinfo/revhistory/revision/revnumber">
       <fo:block xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format";
           xsl:use-attribute-sets="book.titlepage.recto.style"
           text-align="center" space-before="15.552pt"
           font-family="{$title.fontset}" font-weight="bold" font- 
size="14pt"
           color="#000000">
           <xsl:apply-templates select="."  
mode="book.titlepage.recto.mode"/>
       </fo:block>
   </xsl:template>

And the result is strange.

The picture (myLogo) is centered ;
the title (My Book title) is left align ;
the subtitle (My Book subtitle) is centered ;
the revision number is centered.

And I can explain why, with the same code in custom.xsl the title is  
not centered.

This part of code use to work. I think the change was using docbook- 
xsl 1.69.1 instead of docbook-xsl 1.68.1.

I use XEP to make the transformation.

May I've looked to much to this part to see the mistake. If one of  
you can see it, It will be great.

Thanks in advance,
Jacques
