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

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

Thanks Bob - I'm still missing something.  I added your code

<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>

to my customization layer, but this has no effect at all, so there must be something of higher priority over-ruling it.

Both author and  affiliation are output on the title page by XEP 4.9

I am using the standard titlepage.templates.xsl which contains

<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="17.28pt" space-before="10.8pt" keep-with-next.within-column="always">
<xsl:apply-templates select="." mode="book.titlepage.recto.mode"/>
</fo:block>
</xsl:template>

and

<xsl:apply-templates mode="book.titlepage.recto.auto.mode" select="bookinfo/author"/>

<xsl:apply-templates mode="book.titlepage.recto.auto.mode" select="info/author"/>

I've tried taking the 'auto' out of these, but no effect

Any help much appreciated.
