RE: [docbook-apps] setting the indent for partintro

Found this message on the docbook-apps list: http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/docbook-apps/200610/msg00071.html

 

Editing the “set.flow.properties” template did the trick. Here’s the customized template.

 

      <!--  Used this template to set the start-indent of Part pages -->

      <xsl:template name="set.flow.properties">

        <xsl:param name="element" select="local-name(.)"/>

        <xsl:param name="master-reference" select="''"/>

     

        <!-- This template is called after each <fo:flow> starts. -->

        <!-- Customize this template to set attributes on fo:flow -->

     

        <xsl:choose>

      <!--    <xsl:when test="$fop.extensions != 0 or $passivetex.extensions != 0">-->

            <!-- body.start.indent does not work well with these processors -->

      <!--    </xsl:when>-->

          <xsl:when test="starts-with($master-reference, 'body') or

                          starts-with($master-reference, 'lot') or

                          starts-with($master-reference, 'front') or

                          $element = 'preface' or

                          $element = 'part' or

                          (starts-with($master-reference, 'back') and

                          $element = 'appendix')">

            <xsl:attribute name="start-indent">

              <xsl:value-of select="$body.start.indent"/>

            </xsl:attribute>

            <xsl:attribute name="end-indent">

              <xsl:value-of select="$body.end.indent"/>

            </xsl:attribute>

          </xsl:when>

        </xsl:choose>

     

      </xsl:template>

Subject: [docbook-apps] setting the indent for partintro

 

The content on my Part titlepages isn’t indented correctly. Instead, everything in the <partintro> tag has an indent of 0 (like the title). So I added the following to my customization layer to try to set the start-indent to 1.25in:

 

<xsl:template match="partintro" mode="part.titlepage.recto.mode" priority="1">

      <fo:block text-align="left"

                start-indent="1.25in"

                font-family="{$body.fontset}">

            <xsl:apply-templates select="." mode="titlepage.mode"/>

      </fo:block>

</xsl:template>

 

But this doesn’t work. I don’t see this <fo:block> in the FO file. Not sure why.

 

Can anyone tell me an easy way to set the indent for everything other than the title on a Part titlepage?
