I found in the list archive an answer form you:

I put this sample on my custom stylesheet and it seems to work.

I wrote "seems to work" because, even a remove all <cover> references, I 
still have a kind of cover, after the front cover I made.

In the front.cover template I added some search for informations about 
my book:

  	<xsl:template name="front.cover">
  		<xsl:call-template name="page.sequence">
    			<xsl:with-param name="master-reference">titlepage</xsl:with-param>
    			<xsl:with-param name="content">
      				<fo:block text-align="center">
  					<fo:inline font-size="24pt">
  						<xsl:apply-templates mode="book.titlepage.recto" 
select="d:info/d:authorgroup/d:author/d:personname/d:firstname"/>
  						<xsl:text> NAME</xsl:text>
  					</fo:inline>
        					<fo:external-graphic src="url(images/Serveur.tif)" 
content-width="7cm"/>
      				</fo:block>
    			</xsl:with-param>
  		</xsl:call-template>
  	</xsl:template>

But the firstname does not appears (the NAME after does). In my docbook 
file the fistname... exist :

> 	<info>
> 		<title>Mac OS X Server à votre service</title>
> 		<edition>Seconde</edition>
> 		<authorgroup>
> 			<author>
> 				<personname>
> 					<firstname>Jacques</firstname>
> 					<surname>Foucry</surname>
> 				</personname>
> 			</author>
> 		</authorgroup>

So my questions are: how can I delete the <cover> and with my firstname 
does not appears.

Thanks in advance,

Jacques
