Re: [docbook-apps] Help with xsl template for image on the titlepage

Actually, I solved the puzzle by myself.

Just for the record, here is what I did.

1) In my titlepage template I added:

     <mediaobject t:named-template="titlepage.image"  
t:wrapper="fo:block" />

2) In my customization layer I added:

   <xsl:template name="titlepage.image">
     <fo:external-graphic
	width="6.7in"
	height="8.5in"
	content-width="scale-to-fit"
	content-height="scale-to-fit"
	border="solid 1pt" >
       <xsl:attribute name="src">
	<xsl:value-of select="descendant-or-self::imagedata[@fileref][1]/ 
@fileref" />
       </xsl:attribute>
     </fo:external-graphic>
   </xsl:template>
