[docbook-apps] Controlling titlepage layout with XSL-FO (newbie)


I have been able to customize the titlepage layout to
include the elements in the order I want. It currently
looks something like this:

----------------------------------------------------
                   Title
----------------------------------------------------
                  Subtitle

             Abstract

                                by Author


----------------------------------------------------
Copyright
Legal notice

The problem is that I would like to keep the copyright
and legal notice at the very bottom of the page. But
because some documents don't have abstracts, the space
is collapsed so that everything goes to the top half
of the page. 

I tried putting everything in a table and setting the
height, but this didn't work. Neither did setting the
height of the individual table cells. Currently, I'm
changing the space-after measurements myself for each
document, but my boss would like to set up a system to
automatically rebuild the PDF files whenever the XML
files are changed. Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,
kary

-BTW, thanks Jeff Beal for your help with my last
problem.
