Re: [docbook-apps] Customising Title Pages Tutorial?

["Bob Stayton" <bobs@sagehill.net>]

In this case, your text-align="right" is being overridden by the template
that processes the title in book.titlepage.recto.auto.mode.  That template
is generated from the titlepage.templates.xml spec file, and it centers book
titles.  So you will still need to customize a copy of the spec file to set
text-align to right for book titles, and generate a custom set of titlepage
templates.  I should clarify that in the example in my book.
