Re: [docbook-apps] Titlepages under HTML with multiple mediaobjects

Hi Dean,

The titlepage spec mechanism supports a t:predicate attribute on elements in the titlepage specs.  The predicate lets you use xpath syntax to select graphics.  For example:

 

    <t:titlepage-content t:side="recto">

      <mediaobject t:predicate="[@role = 'logo']"/>

      <title
             t:named-template="division.title"
             param:node="ancestor-or-self::book[1]"
             text-align="center"
             font-size="&hsize5;"
             space-before="&hsize5space;"
             font-weight="bold"
             font-family="{$title.fontset}"/>

      <mediaobject t:predicate="[not(@role) or @role != 'logo']"/>

Now just add a role="logo" to the logo mediaobject, and it will appear before the title.  All other mediaobjects will appear after the title.

Subject: [docbook-apps] Titlepages under HTML with multiple mediaobjects

All,

 

I am a bit stumped. I have two images in a <bookinfo>. One is used for the company logo and the other is the product image. I would like to have both of these on the titlepage in the following order

 

 

Logo

Title

Product Image

 

 

Since I am producing PDF and HTML, I am using mediaobjects. Under the current stylesheets, it places the images before the Title:

 

 

Logo

Product Image

Title

 

 

The question is: How do I change the order? It looks like titlepage template processing gets all of the mediaobjects and clumps them together.

 

 

Any ideas?
