Re: [docbook-apps] several title-elements on the titlepage

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

Hi,
There is only supposed to be one title element per element.  In DocBook 4, more than 
one title element is permitted in bookinfo, but that was not the intention.  The 
syntax of DTDs makes it hard to constrain a collection of elements that can appear in 
any order to have only one instance of title.  In DocBook 5, only one title is 
permitted, and that is because the RelaxNG syntax supports such constraints.

So the XSL stylesheets don't support more than one title.  Getting them to work with 
more than one title is tricky, because title is normally processed using a gentext 
template from the locale file (such as en.xml), where the template is filled in by 
selecting the element's title.  There is no provision for handling more than one title 
in that machinery.  You would have to bypass a lot of it to process the titles 
directly.

If you must do that, then look at modifying the template named 'division.title' in 
fo/division.xsl.  That handles the title for a book element. You would need to replace 
this line:

<xsl:apply-templates select="$node" mode="object.title.markup"/>

with

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

This changes the mode from "object.title.markup" that uses the gentext template to 
just "title.markup" that processes the title directly. It also replaces select="$node" 
(where $node is set to the book element) to select="." (where . is the title element). 
That should work, but I'm not sure if there might be unintended side effects.

Hey guys!
Is ist possible  to have more than one title-element on the titlepage?
I tried it, but in it only outputs the first title-element and repeats
that one as often as I used the title-element.

Did somebody experienced sth. like this?
