Hi Dan,
I am actually using a custom styesheet:
<xsl:stylesheet
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
xmlns:doc="http://docbook.org/ns/docbook";
xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format";
xmlns:d="http://docbook.org/ns/docbook";
version="1.1">
<xsl:import
href="/Users/cejohnsonlouisville/Documents/docbook-xsl-ns-1.76.1/fo/docbook.xsl"/>
<!--matter snipped-->
<xsl:template match="d:article">
<xsl:variable name="id">
<xsl:call-template name="object.id"/>
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:call-template name="page.sequence">
<xsl:with-param name="master-reference">titlepage</xsl:with-param>
<xsl:with-param name="content">
<fo:block id="{$id}"
xsl:use-attribute-sets="component.titlepage.properties">
<!-- put any content you want here-->
</fo:block>
<fo:block break-after="page"/>
</xsl:with-param>
</xsl:call-template>
Does that make sense? Call each stylesheet as you want it, and put in the
content you want.
For example, the following inserts a graphic:
<xsl:call-template name="page.sequence">
<xsl:with-param name="master-reference">titlepage</xsl:with-param>
<xsl:with-param name="content">
<fo:block id="{$id}"
xsl:use-attribute-sets="component.titlepage.properties">
<fo:block start-indent="0in">
<fo:external-graphic src="charts/problem_solve_2010_2011_r.png"
content-width="5in"/>
</fo:block>
</fo:block>
<fo:block break-after="page"/>
</xsl:with-param>
</xsl:call-template>
