All three items are quite easily doable.You need to have a customization
layer that "adjusts" the builtin capabilities. Bob Stayton's book is a
must. I still reference it even after years of working with Docbook. And this is
the correct forum for getting those answers.
I would suggest doing one of these first and get that working and then move
on to all of the other issues.
I am including my own header with logo stylesheet that you can examine and
modify as you wish. It may get you started in the right direction. I will also
include the shading of the <programlisting> which you should be able to
modify to work like you want.
Let me know if that helps.
Cheers,
Dean Nelson

Hi,
recently I got started with my first docbook document, and I am very
satisfied with the great possibilities to publish a number of output
formats
from a single structured document.
Coming from LaTeX, I am
looking for possibilities to customize high quality PDF
output. For
example, I'd like to modify paragraph indentation, font sizes, line
spacing, page numbering, page headers and footers etc. Ideally I am
looking for
a gallery of document layouts from which I can choose one and
maybe fine tune,
as it is possible under LaTeX by choosing from a large
number of document
classes (like e.g. koma script).
Some help is
given at http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/PrintOutput.html. But
those options are too limited to do things like putting a logo into
the page
header, numbering frontmatter pages like i,ii,iii,iv,... and only
the main
document 1,2,3,..., putting a light yellow background below
verbatim (code) text
boxes, etc. (If someone points me to an
explanation how to achieve these three
options - logo, page numbering,
code background color - I might have a better
idea where to look for other
solutions in the future.)
Should I go the DBLatex way and change the
intermediate LaTeX file to use the
desired document class? Or can I find
an idiot-proof PDF customization tutorial
somewhere that doesn't require
me to learn the low-level PDF language?
Thank
you
Johnny
