Re: only chapter icon at the edge

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

Hi,
In the fo:region-body element in your custom simple page master, add a 
margin-left or margin-right attribute as needed for the appropriate outside 
margin. That will push the body text in relative to the page margin (which 
is zero).  The DocBook default page masters don't set those body margins for 
the side margins.  You can see how it is done for the margin-top  and 
margin-bottom attributes.
