Re: [docbook-apps] I have a title page - how about a back page ?

[Bob Stayton <bobs@sagehill.net>]

Another option is to use the placeholder template named 'back.cover'.
It is empty by default, and called by the book template after all the 
book's content. This option would be appropriate if the back page is 
boilerplate whose content is not necessarily in the document itself. 
The template could, of course, draw on parts of the content of the 
document using XPath.

If your document is an article and not a book, then colophon is the only 
choice, because the article template does not call the 'back.cover' 
template.
