Re: [docbook-apps] New namespacing in DocBook XSL 1.77.0 titlepage customization for FO causing problems

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

Hi Dermot,
I found the problem.  I had forgotten that the template/titlepage.xsl stylesheet was 
changed so that it could output elements in a namespace by setting the stylesheet 
param "ns" to the namespace name.   This was to fix the problem of generating 
titlepage templates for XHTML output, whose elements are in the XHTML namespace.

But the change also affected the fo titlepage file, but I don't think that was 
intentional.  Until this gets fixed, you can reproduce your titlepage stylesheet by 
setting the ns param as follows:

xsltproc  -o  titlepage.fo.xsl  --stringparam  ns  http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format 
docbook-xsl-1.77.0/template/titlepage.xsl  titlepage.fo.xml

I think this feature can be automated by adding the namespace string to each of the 
titlepage.template.xml files so that the stylesheet knows what the default namespace 
should be (and it can still be overwritten on the command line).
