Subject: Re: DOCBOOK-APPS: Graphic on Title Page
/ Holger Rauch <Holger.Rauch@heitec.de> was heard to say: | How do I have to modify the "print" version of "dbttlpg.dsl" if I want a | title page that looks roughly like the following: The "easy" way, in some sense, would be to put these elements in the <*info> wrapper, so that the existing code would do approximately the right thing: <bookinfo> <!-- bookinfo, I'm guessing, but you didn't say --> <graphic filref="companylogo.gif"/> <title>The title</title> <author>...</author> <copyright>...</copyright> </bookinfo> | - After the top margin, there should be the company logo, appearing | centered In the stylesheet, set (define %titlepage-in-info-order% #t) Now you'll get the elements you want on the page in the right order. | - Below the company logo, there should be some space until the middle of | the page | - Then there should be a centered horizontal line | - a small amount of space | - The title of the document, right justified | - The author's name in small caps, right justified | - a small amount of space | - In the lower third of the page there should be the copyright notice | (copyright sign, holder, and the year) appearing centered To get the formatting you want, write construction rules in your stylesheet customization that "do the right thing": (mode book-titlepage-verso-mode (element graphic ...) (element title ...) (element author ...) (element copyright ...) ) | This whole stuff here leads me to another question: Is there any good | DSSSL tutorial? (By "good" I mean one that covers the creation of style | sheets from scratch and that is made up like a tutorial, not like a | reference). Not that I know of. XSL is a better bet, if you've an eye to the future. Be seeing you, norm -- Norman Walsh <ndw@nwalsh.com> | The years teach us much which the http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/ | days never knew.--Emerson Chair, DocBook Technical Committee |
