Re: [docbook-apps] PDF Title Page Transformation Problems

That is the default behavior of the FO stylesheet.

You are seeing the title on the recto title page,

the title repeated (along with copyright and legalnotice

info) on the verso title page, and each dedication

in its own page-sequence.

 

You may judge that to be incorrect, but it is pretty

standard for book publishing.  You can always customize

the stylesheet to do whatever you want.

Docbook-rng-5.0.b1 xsl-1.69.1 saxon-6.5.4 xep-4.4 oXygen-6.2

 

The following code fragment:

 

<book xml:id="vhimSEP" xmlns="http://docbook.org/ns/docbook" version="5.0" xml:lang="en"

   xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude" xml:base="">

   <title>Foo</title>  

   <subtitle>Foo</subtitle>

   <dedication>

      <title/>

      <mediaobject>

         <imageobject>

            <imagedata fileref="&imgFoo;" align="center"/>

         </imageobject>        

      </mediaobject>

   </dedication>

<sect1>

…

…

 

Produces a title/subtitle page, a second page with title:subtitle and a third page with the dedication.

 

This only occurs with PDF transformations; html transformations correctly produce the title / subtitle and dedication on a single page.

 

Advise please.
