Re: DOCBOOK-APPS: title page issues

[luc <list at taesch dot com>]

thanks for your help, patrick

still, im left with the following issue ( unless i misunderstood you):

to be able to generate the table to generate the box around the title, i
need to WRAP the titlepage with a table (body/row/cell).
In my understanding, its like if i have to replace the wrapper="fo:block"
with wrapper="fo:table", (but with more things into the table...)

or maybe I should be able to incoprporate literal text into
<t:titlepage-content side="recto"> ?
