Re: [docbook-apps] Replacing recto titlepage

[Peter Desjardins <peter.desjardins.us@gmail.com>]

Hi.

Are you using the book element for your content? If so, try overriding
the book.titlepage.recto template. There should be an
article.titlepage.recto template also, I haven't looked for it.

  <xsl:template name="book.titlepage.recto">
    [insert-your-cover-page-here]
  </xsl:template>

I've never worked with the front.cover template before. It does have a
tempting name but it's empty by default and I do not think it will do
what you are hoping.

Good luck!

Peter
