Re: [docbook-apps] Background image on cover title page only

[Akagi K <akagi.kobayashi@aepona.com>]

Following the examples in Nick Wood's discussions PAGE NUMBER APPEARS ON
TITLEPAGE, I have been able to show the background image on the front cover
title page only. However, I still have two problems.

1) I cannot show the image to cover the entire page. It shows with an even
margin of about 1 cm, no matter adjusting margins at page level, margins at
regon-body level, inserted background image width and content to
page.width/height, to absolute values, etc. 

2) I wasn't able to remove the header line. I used header.content template
exactly in the same way as I did for footer.content template. I have a
workaround of extending the region-body area so that the line doesn't show.
What would be the proper way?

Please see attached user.pagemasters.xsl
http://old.nabble.com/file/p34321171/user.pagemasters.xsl
user.pagemasters.xsl 

Would appreciate any help!
