Subject: DOCBOOK: Adding authorblurb and other things as extra front matterpages
Hi, Well, I have DocBook with DSSSL and Norm's style sheets with my hacks doing much of what I want. With the help of Juan R. Migoya, and a bit of extra work, I have solid bars below my headers and above my footers ... I also have managed to add a blank page at the end of a chapter if it does not end on a verso page. I have also managed to add a separate title page for each chapter, with a blank verso page for the title. The title page is forced to fall on a recto page. A couple of remaining problems I have are: 1. I want to place something on the book verso page, which I have done, but I want it down the bottom. I tried an attribute of space-before: 60pi for the make paragraph, but this seemed to have no effect. Can anyone comment? 2. I want to add a separate page with the author blurb. I figured that I needed to modify the stuff in (element book ... in dbdivis.dsl to add the extra page. This was a little more than I knew what to do, and indeed, I screwed it up. I get a title, but do not get the blurb. I tried: Adding to the let* to pick up authorblurb with a select-elements from the children of current-node then calling (with-mode authorblurb-mode (process-node-list authorblurb)) and defined authorblurb-node to process the element para and call process-children after making a paragraph. However, I don't get any authorblurb. Any comments? 3. Try as I might, I just cannot get level 2, 3, ... headers offset to the left. I have level 1 headers offset to the left, but not the rest. Any hints?
