Hi,
I would suggest that since your article titlepage plays out like a book's titlepage
that you look at the specifications for the book's titlepage in that file as a model.
There you will see two instances of page breaking with this:

<fo:block break-after="page"/>

I presume you have seen this documentation on the subject:

Thanks for responding. I feel like I must be missing some basic concept
here. I've looked at the documentation, most of which I think I understand,
but when I use my custom titlepage xml spec file to generate the xsl for the
title page, and then import that into my main style sheet, I still wind up
with the title, revision history and table of contents all butting right up
against each other with no page separation whatsoever. Here's my titlepage
spec file in its entirety -- maybe where I'm going wrong will become clear
this way.

Hi Dan,

I am actually using a custom styesheet:

<xsl:stylesheet
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:doc="http://docbook.org/ns/docbook"
xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format"
xmlns:d="http://docbook.org/ns/docbook"
version="1.1">


<xsl:import
href="/Users/cejohnsonlouisville/Documents/docbook-xsl-ns-1.76.1/fo/docbook.xsl"/>



<xsl:template match="d:article">
<xsl:variable name="id">
<xsl:call-template name="object.id"/>
</xsl:variable>

<xsl:call-template name="page.sequence">
<xsl:with-param name="master-reference">titlepage</xsl:with-param>
<xsl:with-param name="content">
<fo:block id="{$id}"
xsl:use-attribute-sets="component.titlepage.properties">

</fo:block>
<fo:block break-after="page"/>
</xsl:with-param>
</xsl:call-template>

Does that make sense? Call each stylesheet as you want it, and put in the
content you want.

For example, the following inserts a graphic:

<xsl:call-template name="page.sequence">
<xsl:with-param name="master-reference">titlepage</xsl:with-param>
<xsl:with-param name="content">
<fo:block id="{$id}"
xsl:use-attribute-sets="component.titlepage.properties">
<fo:block start-indent="0in">
<fo:external-graphic src="charts/problem_solve_2010_2011_r.png"
content-width="5in"/>
</fo:block>

</fo:block>
<fo:block break-after="page"/>
</xsl:with-param>
</xsl:call-template>
