Hi John,
The titlepage chunk is generated for the root element of the document, so
you can use a test like this:
<xsl:if test="ancestor::*">
This xpath expression will return all the ancestor nodes for the current
element being processed. That node-set will be empty only for the root
element of the document, which is the one that generates the titlepage
chunk. In an xpath expression, an empty node set is interpreted as false.
Regarding the titlepage.mode, that's there to support rearranging the
elements on the titlepage. Normally XSL processes elements in document
order. To prevent that, there are empty templates that match on every
titlepage element. That turns off the "normal" processing of those
elements. The subsystem that uses the titlepage spec file and generated xsl
file instead uses its own mode to process the titlepage elements, in the
order specified in the spec file.

Subject: [docbook-apps] HTML - need header on all pages except title page
Hello All,
I have a title page with a mediaobject on it. I want that same
mediaobject to apear on all the pages. I modified a copyright footer
example from Bob Stayton's book like this:
<xsl:template name="user.header.content">
<xsl:apply-templates select="//d:info/d:mediaobject"
mode="titlepage.mode"/>
</xsl:template>
I don't fully understand this (specifically, I don't know what the
mode="titlepage.mode" part does), but it works. However, the image now
appears twice on the title page.
Maybe I could fix this by just removing the mediaobject
from the title page (would I then have to change the mode="..." to
something
else?), but how can the template find out if it is in a title page, i.e.,
<xsl:template name="user.header.content">
<xsl:if test="TEST-FOR-TITLE-PAGE=false">
<xsl:apply-templates select="//d:info/d:mediaobject"
mode="titlepage.mode"/>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>
