Re: [docbook-apps] Titlepage customization: Align legalnotice at bottom of page?

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

The footnote method can work, but it requires turning off the footnote separator rule for the titlepage masters.  Actually, there is a third method in XSL-FO.  An fo:block-container can be positioned absolutely on the page, even in FOP. The "bottom" property sets a distrance of that block from the bottom.

 

<fo:block-container absolute-position="absolute" bottom="2cm">

  <fo:block>Content here</fo:block>

</fo:block-container>

 

With no other properties, the block will assume the width of the page, with a height matching the content. The only danger with absolute positioning is that if the content above it extends downward too far, they can overlap.

 

I don't know of a way to specify a fo:block-container in the titlepage spec file, though. You'll need to specify a named template, and put this code in the named template.  Let me know if you need further details.

As far as I know, no. Your two options are:

1. Put the legal notice in a footer(fo:static-content)
2. Just keep using the <fo:block space-before = "xin" until you get your desired result.

Maybe there is a way to use a maximum property with a keep-together.within.page. I've never tried this.

I've customized my fo-output title page by modifying the 'article' template

Spacing the elements relative to one another is pretty trivial (using
space-before and space-after properties).  What I can't seem to figure out
is how to align one or more elements at the bottom of the page.  In this
case, I specifically want the <legalnotice> element to appear at the very
bottom of the main content area.

Is there a straightforward way to accomplish this?

Thanks,
