Subject: Re: [docbook-apps] PDF recto title page customization adds blank page before the verso title page
Peter, A few more things that I remember having to tweak when I set up the cover pages: You may need to look at the page margin values (there's an excellent illustration on http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/PrintOutput.html). I have explicit settings for the following ones: region.before.extent header.table.height body.margin.top page.margin.top region.after.extent footer.table.height body.margin.bottom page.margin.bottom page.margin.inner page.margin.outer Also, in the title page XML (which is transformed into a titlepage XSL by processing it with the docbook titlepage.xsl and then included in the customization stylesheet) there are things to consider, e.g: <t:titlepage-separator> <fo:block break-after="page"/> </t:titlepage-separator> <t:titlepage-before t:side="verso"> <fo:block break-after="page"/> </t:titlepage-before> Hope this helps, BR /Erik R. ________________________________________ From: Peter Desjardins <peter.desjardins.us@gmail.com> Sent: Wednesday, January 11, 2017 6:50 PM To: DocBook Apps Subject: [docbook-apps] PDF recto title page customization adds blank page before the verso title page Hi. I want the cover page of my book PDF to have a full-bleed color background so I added a fo:block-container that's the same size as the page and gave it the background-color attribute. This works well and the cover page looks great, but it also introduces a blank page between the recto title page and the verso title page. It seems that there's something about the recto title page that is spilling over into a new page but doesn't appear there at all. Has anyone else tried to do something like this? I found that I had to set negative margins of the block-container above and to the left of the page in order to center the colored background over the first page. I feel like I'm grasping at straws and really should understand what's going on much more clearly. Here's my customization for the book title page: <xsl:template name="book.titlepage.recto"> <xsl:element name="fo:block-container"> <xsl:attribute name="width">8.5in</xsl:attribute> <xsl:attribute name="height">11in</xsl:attribute> <xsl:attribute name="margin-left">-1.25in</xsl:attribute> <xsl:attribute name="margin-top">-0.75in</xsl:attribute> <xsl:attribute name="background-color">#ff4c00</xsl:attribute> <xsl:element name="fo:block"> <xsl:attribute name="margin-top">6in</xsl:attribute> <xsl:attribute name="margin-left">2in</xsl:attribute> <xsl:element name ="fo:external-graphic"> <xsl:attribute name="content-width">2in</xsl:attribute> <xsl:attribute name="src"> <xsl:text>url(mylogo.svg)</xsl:text> </xsl:attribute> </xsl:element> </xsl:element> <xsl:element name="fo:block-container"> <xsl:attribute name="margin-top">.2in</xsl:attribute> <xsl:attribute name="margin-left">.35in</xsl:attribute> <xsl:element name="fo:block"> <xsl:attribute name="color">#ffffff</xsl:attribute> <xsl:attribute name="text-align">left</xsl:attribute> <xsl:attribute name="font-size">22pt</xsl:attribute> <xsl:attribute name="font-family">sans-serif</xsl:attribute> <xsl:attribute name="font-weight">400</xsl:attribute> <xsl:value-of select="//d:book/d:info/d:title" /> </xsl:element> </xsl:element> </xsl:element> </xsl:template> Thanks!
