Hello all,

Where might I start to set a chapter page style for fo. I would like the
chapter page to resemble the titlepage but with content.

Also, what is the easiest process to set page orientation for headers?
Where do I customize this? I would like a table int he header with
alternating positions for title and page number. Or is possible via a
parameter?

The stylesheets are so complex. I don't know where to start.

Thank you for your help.

The following URL might be a good starting point:

Hi Thomas
The attached customization file should help with the title problem
(it also does other things) This will give book title on even pages
and chapter/section titles on odd pages in the header. The page
number alternates in the footer to be at the outside of a page.
The customization is for the namespace aware xsl stylesheet 1.73.2.
You might need to alter the initial lines and remove "d:" wherever it
occurs if you are using Docbook 4.x
