Subject: AW: [docbook-apps] Better-looking DocBook XSL-FO stylesheets?
|
I can zip and send you a
nice way of creating custom chapter headings. The Idea is from Bob
Stayton….. Maybe this is a starting point for the wiki? Von: Hendy Irawan

willing to contribute. I'd really love if you could email it to me. :-) [just zip it and go,
I'll figure out how to] I've been able to (finally!) make the chapter title on the corner of
the page... I have to put either 'bottom' or 'height' properties using fixed
position. It doesn't seem a good solution though since it can span multiple
lines which means is going to affect the main body flow. :( Style publishing is
much harder than I had previously thought. Replacing the default fonts with better ones (at the very least Arial
Narrow, and Garamond/Georgia) is more refreshing. And I have other fonts too
from Adobe, Linotype, ITC, ... but there's no way I would be able to embed
those into an open-source stylesheet. :-( Even the use of the "better" fonts is... well, questionable.
(may require specific OS, and stuff... sigh) But seriously, in publishing, isn't typography Everything?
