Subject: RE: several title-elements on the titlepage


> ...is for conditional processing...

<title> accepts <phrase>s which can be made conditional. That's the way I did it.

Best regards

Subject: [docbook] RE: several title-elements on the titlepage

(Moving this to "docbook" because my response is more about the language definition here.)

One reason for being able to specify multiple <title> elements (or indeed multiple elements of any type where currently only 1 is allowed) is for conditional processing. You might use an attribute to conditionally exclude one or the other in different circumstances.
