Re: [docbook-apps] Re: isbn, biblioid and edition not visible in PDF output

Hi Tomek,
The basic problem is that the info elements can contain many elements that are 
considered metadata that are for internal use only and not intended to be displayed. 
And different users need different information on the title pages, in different orders 
and presentations.  Because of all these considerations, the stylesheets are set up to 
support customizing the titlepage information.  See this reference for details on how 
to do that.

http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/HTMLTitlePage.html

You would need to add isbn and biblioid to a copy of the title page specification 
file, process it with the template/titlepage.xsl stylesheet file to create a titlepage 
stylesheet module, and import that module into a customization layer.  It may seem 
like a lot just to add a couple of elements, but it is a general purpose mechanism 
that can work for any combination of elements and styles.
