Hello Colin,
thanks a lot for your help and explanation! I never would have figured
out this on my own.
I declared and use a custom page master now and that does exactly what
it should.
Regards,

Hi,
The problem is that you're putting the background image attribute in the
header.content template, which is effectively applying it to a regular
fo:block. Take a look at this fragment of code from the template
header.table.
<fo:table-cell text-align="left"
display-align="before">
...
<fo:block>
<xsl:call-template name="header.content">
<xsl:with-param name="pageclass" select="$pageclass"/>
<xsl:with-param name="sequence" select="$sequence"/>
<xsl:with-param name="position" select="'left'"/>
<xsl:with-param name="gentext-key" select="$gentext-key"/>
</xsl:call-template>
</fo:block>
</fo:table-cell>
So, everything in header.content is called inside of an fo:block.
Therefore, you're just producing:
<fo:block background-image="image.png">
and since the fo:block is only as tall as its content, it won't
automatically be as tall as $region.before.extent.
If you only want this background image to appear in the header of certain
types of pages (odd or even, etc.), one solution is to make a custom page
master (
http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/PageDesign.html) and
apply the background-image attribute to the fo:region-before element. If
you want it to apply to the header of all pages, you can also customize the
header.table template and apply the background image to the fo:table
element.
I hope that's what you need.
