Subject: Re: [docbook] Including two title pages in a PDF file and page numbering


Sorry, I thought we were talking about a book, not an article. Only the book template automatically calls the 'front.cover' placeholder template.

An article does not normally have separate recto and verso title pages. Your customization must already be producing those, so you may need to extend your customization to add <xsl:call-template name="front.cover"/> to your customization so it produces the extra half title page.

Hi Bob,

Thanks for your reply. However, I would need a little more guidance. I'm not sure I follow your suggestion completely.... I will tackle only the extra titlepage for now...

Yes, I've done this kind of half title page before. The book template calls an empty placeholder template named 'front.cover' before any other content. If you add such a template to your customization layer, it will appear before the title page. That template needs to call the template named 'page.sequence' to generate an fo:page-sequence for the extra content. Since you are already doing double sided, the new page sequence will automatically generate the blank verso page.

You put the content of the page-sequence in the 'content' param for the template. Below is an example that puts just the title and subtitle on the extra title page. Those xsl:apply-templates were copied from fo/titlepage.templates.xsl, from the template named 'book.titlepage.recto' which generates the normal title page. If you have customized your title page and generated new title page templates, you will want to copy those instead.



Our print customization layer (myprint.xsl) imports the a few XSL sheets, including a customized titlepage.xsl file called prn-titlepage.xsl, which is generated from prn-titlepage.xml. The 'myprint.xsl' file also includes a customized title page, ironically called 'mybook-titlepage' (with mybook-titlepage-first, mybook-titlepage-even and mybook-titlepage-odd also defined).

To my print customization layer (myprint.xsl) I added the 'front.cover' template as follows, taking the 'content' from the 'article.titlepage.recto' from the generated prn-titlepages.xsl sheet .... It did not give me an extra titlepage ...


<!-- Adding a second title page -->
<xsl:template name="front.cover">
<xsl:call-template name="page.sequence">
  <xsl:with-param name="master-reference">titlepage</xsl:with-param>
