RE: [docbook-apps] no image on title page...

["David Cramer (Tech Pubs)" <dcramer@motive.com>]

Just to make sure it's clear, the technique posted at http://www.dpawson.co.uk/docbook/styling/titlepage.html#d2424e176 does not use the titlepage template system to generate text that appears on the cover, tho it could be made to do that. As posted, you get a cover with full page sized image, followed by the recto and verso titlepages as defined in your titlepage templates. To alter the placement of text on the cover, you edit the cover xsl directly. The full page cover technique works fine, but if you need to support multiple page sizes, you'd might need to add some intelligence to the xsl.
