Hi,
As you probably noticed, the titlepage spec file does not let you specify a 
graphic above the title and a different one below the title.

You could try bypassing the titlepage spec file mechanism and create a layout 
table for your title page:

http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/TitlePagePrint.html#TitlepageTableLayout

That should give you direct control of the page, without having to guess how 
the spec file mechanism is working (it is a bit of a black box). 

For the wide graphic, you could set the start-indent and end-indent to negative 
values to extend the table out to the page edges.  Be sure to include a 
start-indent="0pt" and end-indent="0pt" on your fo:table-body if you do that, 
or your table cells will inherit that outer start-indent.

  Subject: [docbook-apps] Cover pages for print output


  Hello all,

   

  My apologies if this has been answered elsewhere.

   

  Our documents have a custom cover page that has two graphics: one above title 
and one below it. After reviewing the DocBook XSL guide, I was able to figure 
out how to add a graphic to the top of the page, but I have yet to figure out 
how to add a second graphic. Is there a way to do this? These graphics actually 
go all the way to the edges of the page-for a while I thought I could create a 
single image and use it as a background image for the cover page, but I haven't 
had any luck figuring that out either.

   

  I'm using FOP to render the PDF output, if that makes any difference.

   

  Thanks,
