Subject: Re: [docbook-apps] <part> Titlepage
Hi Dick and Bob,
thanks again for your help. I adjusted the "part.titlepage.recto"
template. Looks fine.
For reference here is my template:
<?xml version='1.0'?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format"; version="1.0">
<xsl:template name="part.titlepage.recto">
<fo:block start-indent="0in" margin-top="10mm"
margin-left="100mm">
<fo:external-graphic src="images/wizard_logo.png"
content-width="1.0in" />
</fo:block>
<fo:block text-align="center" border-before-style="solid"
border-before-width="2mm" margin-top="40mm">
</fo:block>
<fo:block margin-top="10mm" margin-bottom="10mm">
<fo:table border-width="0.0pt" border-style="solid">
<fo:table-column />
<fo:table-body>
<fo:table-row>
<fo:table-cell
border-width="0.0pt" border-style="solid">
<fo:block>
<xsl:apply-templates mode="part.titlepage.recto.auto.mode"
select="title" />
</fo:block>
</fo:table-cell>
</fo:table-row>
</fo:table-body>
</fo:table>
</fo:block>
<fo:block text-align="center" border-before-style="solid"
border-before-width="2mm">
</fo:block>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Best regards, Lars
P.S. I had to re-post, as Google recently switched from googlemail.com
to gmail.com in Germany and I need to register the new email to the
mailing list.
