You could try producing the cover page in something like Libreoffice, printing it to pdf and then I believe there are tools that can glue PDFs together (maybe even directly in libreoffice, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_PDF_software) so you can glue it to the start of the PDF of the book contents you made conveniently with a2x. > > With rest + Sphinx I am able to produce an almost perfect pdf, epub and > html.

See http://sagehill.net/docbookxsl/CustomizingPart.html (referenced by Asciidoc FAQ #3), it covers book covers :) Cheers Lex > > -- > > > Marco Ciampa > > I know a joke about UDP, but you might not get it. > > +--------------------+ > | Linux User #78271 | > | FSFE fellow #364 | > +--------------------+ > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "asciidoc" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to [email protected]. > To post to this group, send email to [email protected]. > Visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/asciidoc. > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "asciidoc" group.
