Hi,
The title and *info elements can be customized through the titlepage spec file mechanism that is included with DocBook XSL. You should be able to make the entries consistent between chapter and preface, and then regenerate the titlepage customization module. See this reference for more:

http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/HTMLTitlePage.html

Regarding the body indent, the default settings in the stylesheet indent chapters and a preface the same. Generally the template named 'set.flow.properties' from fo/pagesetup.xsl is used to customize that behavior. Is your customization doing that?

Subject: [docbook-apps] Getting prefaceinfo to be formatted like chapterinfo?


I suspect this is a bit of a newbie question, but I've spent an hour looking for the answer and haven't figured anything out, so I hope it's not _too_ newbieish!

We've got a manual in DocBook that we're formatting to FO output (and thence to PDF) using pretty much the standard fo/docbook.xsl settings with only a few custom modifications. In this manual, the <prefaceinfo> and <chapterinfo> paragraphs end up formatted rather differently -- the preface one is indented and in serif font, whereas the chapter one is not indented and in sans serif.

Similarly, the body text in the Preface is indented, whereas the main body text is not.

I would like to have the <prefaceinfo> formatting consistent with that of <chapterinfo>, and the preface body text formatting consistent with that of the main body text. How would I go about doing that? (And, for that matter, where would I find how these are set in the first place? I looked through the docbook files and couldn't find it.)

Thanks!
- Brooks
