I've read this. I looked at it again, and I still could not figure out a
way to use background images short of using custom page masters. It seems
like a lot of hassle just to get the background image in (but I guess
that's what I'll have to do).
If I missed something and it's easier than this, please prove me wrong
and you'll have my gratitude. = )
I haven't tried it yet for the body part of the page masters but it
should
work the same as with the area-before and area-after sections.
I'm curious, if you didn't do the header and footer background images as
described in this chapter, how did you do it?
I did follow the instructions in
http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/PrintHeaders.html
I would like the page background images be as modularly overrideable as
headers and footers are. For example, if in fo/pagesetup.xsl every page
master had a call to user overridable template (that is by default empty)
this would be easy. E.g.
<fo:simple-page-master master-name="blank"
page-width="{$page.width}"
page-height="{$page.height}"
margin-top="{$page.margin.top}"
margin-bottom="{$page.margin.bottom}"
margin-left="{$margin.left.outer}"
margin-right="{$page.margin.inner}">
<xsl:if test="$axf.extensions != 0">
<xsl:call-template name="axf-page-master-properties">
<xsl:with-param name="page.master">blank</xsl:with-param>
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:if>
<fo:region-body display-align="center"
margin-bottom="{$body.margin.bottom}"
margin-top="{$body.margin.top}">
<xsl:if test="$fop.extensions = 0 and $fop1.extensions = 0">
<xsl:attribute name="region-name">blank-body</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:if>
<!-- if this was actually here it would be easy to insert background
images: -->
<!-- The same call would naturally be made in region-before and
region-after -->
<xsl:call-template name="user.page.region">
<xsl:with-param name="master-name" select="'blank'"/>
<xsl:with-param name="location" select="'region-body'"/>
</xsl:call-template>
<!-- end my insertion -->
</fo:region-body>
<fo:region-before region-name="xsl-region-before-blank"
extent="{$region.before.extent}"
display-align="before"/>
<fo:region-after region-name="xsl-region-after-blank"
extent="{$region.after.extent}"
display-align="after"/>
</fo:simple-page-master>
...
<!-- default implementation of this template -->
<xsl:template name="user.page.region"/>
Of course I can modify fo/pagesetup.xsl myself, but that does not sound
like such a good idea from maintenance point of view...
