Hi Richard,
Thanks for pointing out these inconsistencies. I think I
know why they are happening, and I'll correct them for the next
release.
I hope they are not producing any functional
differences. If so, please point them out.

Subject: [docbook-apps] RE: Title-page customization - is it just me
?
Well - no sooner do I send my question than I make some progress, and
realize it was me ....
(checking a query I sent to the list back in July)
Since I'm using Docbook 5 I need to use the ns stylesheets.
Having done that I get the processed file being nearly the same as the
published one.
The xml header PI differs in that mine states encoding="utf-8" which the
published one doesn't.
The xsl:stylesheet lists the namespaces in different orders.
And the "This stylesheet was cretated" comment is slightly different.
Both the above differences I think are trivial, though i'm surprised the
generated one is not the same as the published one as regards the comment.
I think the namespace name differences are just due to the processor.
Further down the file I find the following in my generated file, but absent
from the published one.
<xsl:when
test="d:docinfo/d:title">
<xsl:apply-templates
mode="topic.titlepage.recto.auto.mode"
select="d:docinfo/d:title"/>
</xsl:when>
and
<xsl:when
test="d:docinfo/d:subtitle">
<xsl:apply-templates
mode="topic.titlepage.recto.auto.mode"
select="d:docinfo/d:subtitle"/>
</xsl:when>
I am suprised at this difference as I'd expect the real content in the
published files to correspond to the source as published.
Now I do need to work out what to do to get the page-break added.
And then the removal of the Rev History from the beginning and moving it to
the end and adding another.
Progressively,
Richard.

Title-page customization - is it just me ?
I'm sure it is me, but I can't seem to get this to work.....
I want to customize my (PDF via FO) document.
I want to make the title-page a separate page, ie to insert a
page-break. My document is an <article>.
I'm using docbook-xsl-1.77.1 stylesheets, and Docbook 5.
Following the instructions in Bob's book I've taken a copy of
fo\titlepage.templates.xml.
I process it using template\titlepage.xsl and Saxon 6-5-5. I call the
result mytitlepages.xsl.
If I then compare my mytitlepages.xsl with the supplied
fo\titlepage.templates.xml I find that all the elements which are
<fo:block> in the given file are <block> in my generated one.
For example :
published: <fo:block xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format"
font-family="{$title.fontset}">
against
generated: <block
font-family="{$title.fontset}">
If I then <import> my generated file I get streams of error messages -
the first of which is :
Error at fo:block on line 342 of
file:/C:/Users/Richard/Downloads/DocBook/docbook-xsl-1.77.1/fo/refentry.xsl:
No attribute-set exists named refnamediv.titlepage.recto.style
and the others are similar.
I am assuming these are being caused by this inconsistency in the xsl.
Can anyone advise what I might be doing wrong ?
I am assuming that as the published stylesheets have been around for a while
they are right ....
And that Bob's book is accurate.
Note that at this stage my local titlepage.templates.xml is unmodified, yet
is showing this inconsistency. I would expect processing the published
titlepage.templates.xml would generate a copy of the published
titlepage.templates.xsl.
Once I've got this aspect sorted my next task will be to work out exactly
what I need to put where to get a page-break after the article recto
title page.
Puzzledly,
Richard.
PS,
Once I've got the title page on a separate page I'll want to
move the revision history somewhere else, ie to near the end of the document.
Actually I want it at the end, since it would be before the Index, but there
isn't an Index.
And then I'm going to want two separate Revision Histories, one for the
document and one for the software to which it refers.
