Re: [docbook-apps] Font size changes in <author> and <affiliation>

["Bob Stayton" <bobs@sagehill.net>]

As I describe in this section of my book:

 

http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/TitlePagePrint.html#TitlepageElementTemplates

 

you can customize how a particular element is handled on a titlepage by customizing the template in the mode without the "auto" in the mode name, in this case mode="book.titlepage.recto.mode".  For example:

 

<xsl:template match="author" mode="book.titlepage.recto.mode">
  <fo:block font-size="23pt"
            color="blue"
            space-before="20pt"
            keep-with-next.within-column="always">
    <xsl:apply-templates select="." mode="titlepage.mode"/>
  </fo:block>
  <fo:block font-size="12pt"
            color="green"
            space-before="18pt" >
    <xsl:apply-templates select="affiliation" mode="titlepage.mode"/>
  </fo:block>
</xsl:template>

(I use color here just to indicate that it is working).

 

Because this template is applied within the block created in the mode name that includes "auto", it will inherit all those attributes, so you need to override any that you don't want.

 

In this case, the affiliation would not normally appear on a book titlepage.  The default handling of author in fo/titlepage.xsl in mode="titlepage.mode" has one template with a general match on author which also processes the affiliation.  But there is a second template that specifically matches on bookinfo/author with priority="2", which takes precedence in this case.  That template does not output affiliation.  So your customization needs to handle the components of author the way you want them.

Subject: Re: [docbook-apps] Font size changes in <author> and <affiliation>

Apologies, I should have been more precise.  I want <author> in a larger font then <orgname> within <affiliation> within <author>

On a <book> title page I have a need to have <author> at a bigger font size than <affiliation> (which is within <author>)

Otherwise no change to standard title page.

Changing the font-size="..." in

.

<xsl:template match="author" mode="book.titlepage.recto.auto.mode">
<fo:block xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format" xsl:use-attribute-sets="book.titlepage.recto.style" font-size="20.736pt" space-before="10.8pt" keep-with-next.within-column="always">
<xsl:apply-templates select="." mode="book.titlepage.recto.mode"/>

</fo:block>

</xsl:template>

Doesn't work at all (no change), and I presume this should also change the size of <affiliation> as font-size would be inherited.  Can anyone help please?

Ron
