Hi Bob,
thank you very much for your help. Now it works!
I copied the content of the fo/division.xsl file into my customization.
Then, I commented out the following sequence :
<!-- <xsl:if test="$preamble">
<fo:page-sequence hyphenate="{$hyphenate}"
master-reference="{$titlepage-master-reference}">
<xsl:attribute name="language">
<xsl:call-template name="l10n.language"/>
</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name="format">
<xsl:call-template name="page.number.format">
<xsl:with-param name="master-reference"
select="$titlepage-master-reference"/>
...
<fo:block id="{$id}">
<xsl:call-template name="book.titlepage"/>
</fo:block>
</fo:flow>
</fo:page-sequence>
</xsl:if> -->
Then by tranforming it with XSLTProc and Antenna House, the title pages were
omitted, as I wanted them to.

This sounds very smart. I haven't managed yet to realize that. If you could
give me some more details, that would help.
But for the moment, I am very pleased and thankful, that your help solved that
high prio problem above. The on/off feature with the parameter would be a bonus
feature to impress them :) .
Regards, Martin
