Bob,
I'm not sure if I'd recognize whether the two differences I note below are causing functional differences as I'm very new to titlepage customization. I shall report back if I do think I've found anything.
I got my first bit of title-page customization working, though more by guesswork than from the docs.
On recognizing font-family as an fo:block attribute I tried adding break-after as an attribute.
ie changing :
<t:titlepage t:element="article" t:wrapper="fo:block" font-family="{$title.fontset}" >
to :
<t:titlepage t:element="article" t:wrapper="fo:block" font-family="{$title.fontset}" break-after="page" >
And that worked. Ie I got a page-break after the title.
Then I found something that told me that was what I needed to do - Note 5 in Example 11.1.
I'm not yet sure why it worked - there are some pages somwehere on the titlepage configuration elements, but I can't now find them.
I'll want to add some element positioning and coloured blocks, lines and images.
Eventually,
Richard.

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.

Subject: [docbook-apps] 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
.
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.
