Re: [docbook] A vertical red line on a book titlepage

[Bob Stayton <bobs@sagehill.net>]

Your request is not very specific about the size or positioning of the 
vertical red line.  One way to do it is to edit a copy of the titlepage 
specification file, recompile the titlepage XSL module, and include that 
module in your customization.  Details on this procedure are available at:

http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/HTMLTitlePage.html

To add a thin red line on the left, edit a copy of 
fo/titlepage.templates.xml to change this:

  <t:titlepage t:element="book" t:wrapper="fo:block">
    <t:titlepage-content t:side="recto">

to this:

  <t:titlepage t:element="book" t:wrapper="fo:block">
    <t:titlepage-content t:side="recto" border-left="0.5pt solid red">

After you recompile this, the generated stylesheet module should contain 
this new property, and when you include it in your customization layer, 
it should add the red line.
