Re: [docbook-apps] Page master selection. .fo, db5

Hi Dave,
The simplest solution for just the chapter title is to add space-before in the title 
(and be sure to add space-before.conditionality="retain" since it appears first in the 
flow).

In general, the page-masters all share the same page size and margin parameters for 
consistency of look, but that makes it harder to customize particular page masters. 
Adding separate params for each page-master's many margins would result in a *lot* of 
params (15 masters * 4 sides * 3 properties).  So you are left with defining custom 
page masters and getting your stylesheet to use them.  It is easiest to copy an 
existing page master to a custom 'user.pagemasters' template, change the name, and 
change just the properties you want to be different.  Then customize 
'select.user.pagemaster' template to turn it on.
