Hi everyone,

I successfully added a background image to my book cover page by using the
following the instructions in DocBook XSL: The Complete Guide and various
newsgroup postings.

The following are my user.pagemasters and select.user.pagemaster templates.
The challenge I'm encountering is that the titlepage page masters apply to
books and parts. The background image appears on my part title pages as well
as my book cover page.

Does anyone know how (or if) I could suppress the background image on my
part title pages?


<xsl:template name="user.pagemasters">

Here's a bit more information. I thought I could differentiate between book
and part title pages in my select.user.pagemaster template by adding another
set of conditions based on the element parameter.

<xsl:template name="select.user.pagemaster">
<xsl:param name="element"/>
<xsl:param name="pageclass"/>
<xsl:param name="default-pagemaster"/>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="$default-pagemaster = 'titlepage'">
<xsl:value-of select="'titlepage-saba'"/>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="$default-pagemaster = 'titlepage-first'">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="$element='part'">
<xsl:value-of select="$default-pagemaster"/>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="$element='book'">
<xsl:value-of select="'titlepage-first-saba'"/>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise><xsl:value-of
select="$default-pagemaster"/></xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="$default-pagemaster = 'titlepage-odd'">
<xsl:value-of select="'titlepage-odd-saba'"/>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="$default-pagemaster = 'titlepage-even'">
<xsl:value-of select="'titlepage-even-saba'"/>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:value-of select="$default-pagemaster"/>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>

In my .fo output, the <fo:layout-master-set> node did not include this
additional choose statement. The restriction was ignored. The graphic still
appears on the part title pages.

Is there any difference between book and part title pages that I could
filter on?

Thanks,
Mark

Never mind. I got the filtering to work.

This works:

master-reference="titlepage-even-saba" odd-or-even="even"/>
<fo:conditional-page-master-reference
