Subject: RE: [docbook-apps] Graphics in print title page (was in docbook lists)
Hi, I've switched this over to docbook apps now that it's a style sheet issue. I think this is also dependent on which processor is being used. But, there are two width properties for an external graphic: width and content width. Width is for the view window, and content-width is for the actual size of the image. There is another property of the graphic called scaling which allows for uniform or non-uniform scaling of the graphic. Generally, what works for me is to simply set the width and the scaling properties within the external graphic tag. Some other things to think about are, what is the original size of the graphic and how does the hierarchy between the fo:block and the graphic inline tag work (you may want to ask someone like Dave Pawson about this, he would know better than I). You may want to scale back the size of the fo:block and see what happens. And, how many columns does your table row span (if you haven’t already customized this out of your stylesheet). Also, I noticed in your last sample you specified the width in your xml file. If there is any graphic info still in your xml file you may want to remove it. The code for my CL (customization layer) looks like this: <fo:external-graphic src="url(1GenInfPDA.gif)" width="196mm" scaling="uniform" text-align="left"></fo:external-graphic> All I can really suggest is to tinker with all of elements concerned until it works or ask some of the other more FO savvy list members who may know exactly what to do.

The image appeared on the title page. However, I can't resize it, it always appears scaled up to the width of the paragraph, that is, the fo:block. I have specified the WIDTH parameter of the image but this didn't work. How did you cope with it?

The best way to add the Logo is to take control of the title page and load a graphic by putting this into your customization layer style sheet. Otherwise you only have really limited formatting capability. Take a look at Bob Stayton's book on this page: http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/TitlePagePrint.html#TitlepageTableLay out . if you copy the markup into your customization layer and then slowly customize it for your own documentation (path names…), it should work. Here you have to use FO markup to add a graphic. The tag for this is <fo:external-graphic src="url(yourcompanylogo)"/>. You put this in between the <fo:block></fo:block> tags in your custom title page. Let me know if you would like a code sample.

I have followed the guidelines from the Bob's book as well as the list archive but failed. There is no graphics on the title page in PDF. My attempt is as follows: source book.xml ------- <book> <bookinfo> <title><trademark>Product</trademark> Name</title> <subtitle>More</subtitle> <mediaobject> <!-- LOGO goes here --> <imageobject> <imagedata fileref="img/logo.png" format="PNG" width="5cm"/> </imageobject> </mediaobject> <authorgroup> <corpauthor>The company</corpauthor> </authorgroup> <legalnotice>...</legalnotice> <copyright>...</copyright> </bookinfo> <chapter>...</chapter> </book> customization layer: book.xsl ------ <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format"> <xsl:import href="file:///d:/docbook/xsl/fo/docbook.xsl"/> <xsl:import href="file:///d:/public/docs/custom-titlepage.xml"/> [other customizations] </xsl:stylesheet> titlepage spec file custom-titlepage.xml (top portion) ------ [entity definitions] <t:titlepage t:element="book" t:wrapper="fo:block"> <t:titlepage-content t:side="recto"> <title t:named-template="division.title" param:node="ancestor-or-self::book[1]" text-align="center" font-size="&hsize5;" space-before="&hsize5space;" font-weight="bold" font-family="{$title.fontset}"/> <subtitle text-align="center" font-size="&hsize4;" space-before="&hsize4space;" font-family="{$title.fontset}"/> <mediaobject/> <corpauthor font-size="&hsize3;" keep-with-next.within-column="always" space-before="2in"/> <authorgroup space-before="2in"/> <author font-size="&hsize3;" space-before="&hsize2space;" keep-with-next.within-column="always"/> </t:titlepage-content> [other templates] </t:templates> What is wrong with them? I have no idea what to fix. I have checked the FO output, there is no reference to the logo.png file. Should I customize anything else to get the image in the title page? In addition, I have a problem with the font on the title and subtitle on recto and verso sides of the title page. I can't force the transformation to use, for example the font "Impact" in blue. I have examined the XSL-FO output and the font family for title and subtitle is "sans-serif" while trademark is "serif". Maybe it isn't a big issue but I would like them printed with the same font family and the same color. Bob's book demonstrates many methods to customize the title page but none of them worked for me. Likely I'm still too new to XSL-FO and Docbook customization. I use DocBook 4.4 DTD, XSL 1.68, XEP 4.3 on Windows 2000. Any help appreciated. Zbyszek
