Specifying space-before relative to the page margins

  • 1.  Specifying space-before relative to the page margins

    Posted 12-24-2011 06:30
    I have on a book title page several elements (title, subtitle, author,
    contributor, mediaobject etc) all centred below each other. For each
    element, I have set space-before values which are, of course, measured
    from the preceding element (so, the space-before for subtitle is applied
    relative to the position of the title).
    Instead of specifying space-before for each element relative to the
    preceding element, is it possible to specify the space-before relative
    to the top margin of the page?
