Re: [docbook-apps] Again about title pages

Hi,
Yes, you can customize DocBook's title pages if you are using the XSL
stylesheets. See this section in my book:

http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/TitlePagePrint.html

Your page design is a bit unusual in that it seems to center most of the
text except for the abstract and a couple of other items that are off center
blocks.  You might need to use the information in the "Custom title page
layout" section of the above reference to handle that.

For the rule lines in signatures, you will want to specify fo:leader
elements with the right properties.

If you are using the DSSSL stylesheets, someone else will have to help you.

Subject: [docbook-apps] Again about title pages


Dear friends,

I am writing a book, and the two first pages (I am calling them title
pages),
must be formatted like the two pages in the pdf file attached to this email.
This book is for a Linux Course I am about to finish and the last thing I
have to do is this book.

Let me explain the informations I have in the title pages

Page 1:
'ANIBAL SANTOS JUKEMURA' is the author name (firstname, middlename, surname)
'GINUX ABSTRACT MACHINE' is the book's title
'OPERAÇÕES ..... ABSTRATAS' is the book's subtitle
'Monografia ... Linux' could be 'abstract'
'Joaquim Quinteiro Uchoa' is the co-author
'Orientador' must be literal to reference the co-author
'LAVRAS' is the city
'MINAS GERAIS' state
'BRASIL' country

Page 2:
There are some common elements like author, title, subtitle

'Aprovada em...' must be literal
'Prof. Cristiano Leite de Castro' is another credit
'Prof. Rudini Menezes de Castro' is another credit

Can I change the default title pages to look like these ones? I would like
not
to customize DTD, only stylesheets, because this work will be distributed
freely, and students can see two things: the text itself and the use of
DocBook to write a book.

I would like do let DocBook make all work, but if I can not change, at least
theses title pages I'll have to write using OpenOffice. By workiong this
way,
I will have another problem: how to join title pages made with OpenOffice to
DocBook book?

Thanks.
