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
