We have some content within a “cover” section of a DocBook book (book –

This is normal. Out of the box, very few DocBook elements are rendered
on the PDF (or HTML) title page.
Do we need to customize the stylesheets to get these to render?
If you take a look at XXE_install_dir/addon/config/docbook OR docbook5
OR docbook51/xsl/fo/titlepage.templates.xsl, you'll find:
---
<xsl:template name="book.titlepage.recto">
...
<xsl:apply-templates mode="book.titlepage.recto.auto.mode"
select="d:bookinfo/d:corpauthor"/>
...
---
which specifies that only title, subtitle, corpauthor, authorgroup,
author, itermset are possibly rendered in the PDF title page.
However, please note that file titlepage.templates.xsl is not written by
hand. It is automatically generated by transforming
titlepage.templates.xml using titlepage.xsl.
This design should let you customize what you'll find on your title
pages simply by adding and/or removing DocBook elements from
titlepage.templates.xml.
I personally never did that but this customization is well explained here:
