Re: [docbook-apps] Issue with Titlepage Output

Bob,

Thanks so much for your reply.

Here is how the include is being done:

<?xml version='1.0'?><xsl:stylesheet      xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"    xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format"    version="1.0"> <xsl:import href="/home/dganapathy/Files/stylesheets/docbook-xsl-1.72.0/fo/docbook.xsl"/><xsl:import href="mytitlepage.xsl"/><!-- This is a DocBook PDF customization layer.  --><!-- All stringparam values. --><xsl:param name="admon.graphics" select="1"/><xsl:param name="body.font.master" select="12"/><xsl:param name="admon.graphics.extension" select="'.gif'"/><xsl:param name="admon.graphics.path" select="'/home/dganapathy/images/'"/><xsl:param name="footer.font.size" select="10"/>
....

I see that you mention a line in your book - "process the spec file with the special stylesheet template/titlepage.xsl that generates a title page style sheet file." 
I am not clear on this. Hope you can shed some
 light.

Thanks once again,
Dishaa

Hi,
 
I presume you are running the step to compile the  titlepage spec file into an XSL file.  Can you show how you are including  the compiled XSL in your customization layer.

Subject: [docbook-apps] Issue with    Titlepage Output
   

Hello All,

I have been trying to change the way the    title page for all my PDF manuals look. I have created a separate title page    spec file and I am including it in my main customization layer.

I have    tried to follow whatever has been mentioned in Bob Stayton's DocBook XSL: The    Complete Guide - 4th Editio. But I think I am missing something vital as the    desired output is not showing up.

I would appreciate if members in this    group
 can look at the style sheet and let me know where I am going wrong in    the spec file.

Thanks to each of you for your time and    help,
Dishaa
