Hi,
I have been creating a customization layer for DocBook XSL with very nice
results. Switched some fonts, tweaked things here and there, the goal is to
have the "almost-professionally-published" look end the result right from
the start.
I use DocBook DG + Sagehill's book as a guide. (Sagehill turned out to be
very concise in its explanation regarding tweaking the XSL-FO... perhaps I
should get the XSL-FO book from O'Reilly)
The problem I currently have right now is how to put the 'chapter title' in
a fixed position on the top-left corner of the page. First I tried using
<fo:block absolute-position="fixed"> with lots of options and didn't work.
After some searching on the net it turned out that 'fixed' only supported by
'block-container'. Switching to this one though, still doesn't work.
Even something like this:
<fo:block-container>
<fo:block>TEST</fo:block>
</fo:block-container>
When inserted into the titlepage's body flow, generated nothing (not even
the text). Removing the block-container "works", in that it displays the
"TEST" word but there is no way I get the block to freely position it
somewhere.
I use Saxon 6 with FOP 0.93. Does this have anything to do with FOP?
Please help. Thank you very much, I really appreciate any help.
