If you look at how the <title> element is generated in html/docbook.xsl,
you will see:
<xsl:param name="title">
<xsl:apply-templates select="$node"
mode="object.title.markup.textonly"/>
</xsl:param>
<title>
<xsl:copy-of select="$title"/>
</title>
That mode is defined in common/gentext.xsl for all elements as:
<xsl:template match="*" mode="object.title.markup.textonly">
<xsl:variable name="title">
<xsl:apply-templates select="." mode="object.title.markup"/>
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:value-of select="normalize-space($title)"/>
</xsl:template>
The variable $title will have an <img> element in it as a result of
mode="object.title.markup", but then the normalize-space() function is
used, which only returns text and not empty elements like <img>. You'll
need to customize this mode to handle the mediaobject in a different way to
get the text portion of it.

Subject: [docbook-apps] How To: get HTML title when using inlinemediaobject
for article title?
Hello!
I have an article for which I am using a graphic for the title. To
do this, I did the following:
<?xml version=1.0?>
<!DOCTYPE article PUBLIC '-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.5//EN'
'docbookx.dtd'>
<article>
<articleinfo>
<title>
<inlinemediaobject>
<imageobject>
<imagedata format="GIF89a" fileref="..." />
</imageobject>
<textobject>
<phrase>(text version of title)</phrase>
</textobject>
</inlinemediaobject>
</title>
</articleinfo>
<!-- rest of document elided -->
</article>
When I render this into HTML, the <title> tag in the HTML header is
blank. Is there any way to get the <title> tag to include the contents
of the <textobject> from the article title?
I am using docbook-xsl-1.73.0 and xalan-j 2.7.0.
Thanks in advance,
- dfp
