Suppose I want to use the example in the above mentioned chapter. How can
I adapt it so I can make my own frontpage (in a vector drawing program,
like CorelDraw or something like that)?

Look at this piece of "pseudo code". Would it be possible to do something
like this?

<xsl:template name="book.titlepage.recto">
  <fo:block>
    <media-object src="images/frontpage.png" />
  </fo:block>
</xsl:template>

Indeed, it's quite difficult for me to understand this all. But that's why
there is a mailinglist. ;-)

Thanks in advance for your help!



Best regards
