Re: [docbook-apps] Issue with Titlepage Output

[Dishaa <dishaag@yahoo.com>]

Bob,

Thanks so much for your reply.

Here is how the include is being done:

<?xml version='1.0'?>
<xsl:stylesheet  
    xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
    xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format"
    version="1.0"> 
<xsl:import href="/home/dganapathy/Files/stylesheets/docbook-xsl-1.72.0/fo/docbook.xsl"/>
<xsl:import href="mytitlepage.xsl"/>

<!-- This is a DocBook PDF customization layer.  -->

<!-- All stringparam values. -->
<xsl:param name="admon.graphics" select="1"/>
<xsl:param name="body.font.master" select="12"/>
<xsl:param name="admon.graphics.extension" select="'.gif'"/>
<xsl:param name="admon.graphics.path" select="'/home/dganapathy/images/'"/>
<xsl:param name="footer.font.size" select="10"/>
....

I see that you mention a line in your book - "process the spec file with the special stylesheet template/titlepage.xsl that generates a title page style sheet file." 
I am not clear on this. Hope you can shed some
 light.

Thanks once again,
Dishaa

Hi,

I presume you are running the step to compile the titlepage spec file into an XSL file.  Can you show how you are including the compiled XSL in your customization layer.

Subject: [docbook-apps] Issue with Titlepage Output

Hello All,

I have been trying to change the way the title page for all my PDF manuals look. I have created a separate title page spec file and I am including it in my main customization layer.

I have tried to follow whatever has been mentioned in Bob Stayton's DocBook XSL: The Complete Guide - 4th Editio. But I think I am missing something vital as the desired output is not showing up.

I would appreciate if members in this group can look at the style sheet and let me know where I am going wrong in the spec file.

Thanks to each of you for your time and help,
Dishaa
