I've thought a bit more about this. Is there one or more pieces of code in 
the epub docbook.xsl that controls whether a XHTML chunk is created? What 
I'd like is to add a parameter that gives users the choice of turning off a 
front cover. If I can find the code that kicks off the writing of a 'cover' 
chunk, I can customise a param to either select or ignore that piece of 
code. Any suggestions would be really helpful.
Thanks,

Dave Gardiner

Subject: [docbook-apps] Turning off generation of epub cover





Is there an easy 
way to turn off the generation of a front cover? I have set up a DB 1.76 NS 
customisation that always generates a "cover.html". I've tried various 
options in the epub titlepage (where I have a template 
name="book.titlepage.recto" similar to the FO titlepage template) by adding 
a param value that lets a user select the cover on or off, but I'm lost.
What I'd like is to write in an option that allows: no 
"cover.html" to be generated; and exclude the associated cover image info 
from toc.ncx and content.opf. I can't follow the logic of covers in 
docbook.xsl. Any ideas please?
Thanks

Dave Gardiner
