Hi,
You are running into a bit of inconsistent behavior in the FO stylesheets.
Some titles have attribute-sets that are applied *after* the specs in the
titlepage spec file. The template named "component.title" applies the
attribute-set named "component.title.properties", which you can see in
fo/param.xsl. That is overriding your specs, so you will need to customize
that attribute-set as well.
The attribute-set idea was meant to be a convenience, since it is easier to
customize an attribute-set. But really those attribute-sets should have been
created empty, so that the titlepage spec file mechanism can work without
confusion if you don't customize the attribute-set.

Subject: [docbook-apps] Titlepage Layout and Width
I am trying to customise my front page title page of my Article.
I have copied and modified the titlepage, so that it is based on this:
<t:titlepage-content t:side="recto"
start-indent="0pt"
text-align="left">
<title t:named-template="component.title"
param:node="ancestor-or-self::article[1]"
font-size="&hsize5;"
font-weight="bold"
margin-top="5cm"
text-align="left" />
<subtitle text-align='left' />
<corpauthor space-before="0.5em"
font-size="&hsize2;"/>
<authorgroup space-before="0.5em"
font-size="&hsize2;"/>
<othercredit space-before="0.5em"/>
<releaseinfo space-before="0.5em"/>
<copyright space-before="0.5em"/>
<legalnotice text-align="start"
margin-left="0.5in"
margin-right="0.5in"
font-family="{$body.fontset}"/>
<pubdate space-before="0.5em"/>
<revision space-before="0.5em"/>
<revhistory space-before="0.5em"/>
<abstract space-before="0.5em"
text-align="start"
margin-left="0.5in"
margin-right="0.5in"
font-family="{$body.fontset}"/>
<author space-before="1.5em"
font-size="&hsize0;"
margin-left="0.5in" />
</t:titlepage-content>
As you can see I have tried to make everything align to the left, but the
Title is not and is still displayed centered on the page, but I want it on the
left.
In addition the space available for Subtitle and Abstract seems to be
limited, in that my text is wrapped. I cannot work out if this is a column
restriction or similar. Does anyone know?
Finally I want to have an abstract on the front page, but is it possible to
change the title to Executive Summary or get rid of it altogether - the title
that is?
Thanks for helping me again,
Russell
