Re: [docbook] Moving down the title block on titlepage

[Bob Stayton <bobs@sagehill.net>]

I'm not familiar with the publican stylseheets, but I can offer some 
general guidance.  Your custom 'company.logo' template generates a 
block-container with absolute-position="fixed".  Such block containers 
do not affect the layout of other elements, so as far as the title 
positioning is concerned, the logo container isn't there.

You'll probably have to add a space-before property to the fo:block 
containing the title you want to move down.  If it is the first flowing 
content on the page, such a space-before property is ignored unless you 
also add space-before.conditionality="retain".  And if the current 
template already uses the fully qualified properties 
space-before.maximum, space-before.minimum, and space-before.optimum, 
then you will need to specify all of those instead of just space-before.
