Hi Dave,
The simplest solution for just the chapter title is to add space-before in the title (and be sure to add space-before.conditionality="retain" since it appears first in the flow).

In general, the page-masters all share the same page size and margin parameters for consistency of look, but that makes it harder to customize particular page masters. Adding separate params for each page-master's many margins would result in a *lot* of params (15 masters * 4 sides * 3 properties). So you are left with defining custom page masters and getting your stylesheet to use them. It is easiest to copy an existing page master to a custom 'user.pagemasters' template, change the name, and change just the properties you want to be different. Then customize 'select.user.pagemaster' template to turn it on.

Subject: [docbook-apps] Page master selection. .fo, db5



I note that for my usage, I can see 15 page-masters.
Each has the same paper size.
Each has the same margin-top margin-bottom margin-left margin-right (inside/outside inverted)
Each has the same region-body margin-bottom, margin-top, margin-left, 
margin-right.
Each has the same before-extent, after-extent.

How would I (for instance) change the dimension C in the diagram at
http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/doc/fo/general.html
Perhaps to set the opening text in a new chapter a little lower?

Is it possible to configure these via params? Another way?
Or should it be done using (say) the space-before in the title?


TIA

regards
