• Create your own custom version of titlepage spec file, that start from a copy of the file [Oxygen-install-dir]/frameworks/docbook/xsl/fo/titlepage.templates.xml and customize it.
• Generate the custom part of the DocBook XSLT transformation with a new XSLT scenario that you create in Oxygen (we do not include a built-in one for that) and that applies [Oxygen-install-dir]/frameworks/docbook/xsl/template/titlepage.xsl to the XML spec file from the previous step. The result is an XSLT stylesheet, let's call it mytitlepages.xsl.
• In your DocBook XSLT customization layer (which you said you wanted to create) you have to import mytitlepages.xsl. That means in the customization layer you add an import element like the following after other necessary imports in any customization layer:
  

  Code: Select all

  <xsl:import href="subdir_name/mytitlepages.xsl"/>

  For example if you place both the customization layer and mytitlepages.xsl in a directory outside [Oxygen-install-dir] then you should import in your customization layer the DocBook XSL's standard remote URLs (the ones starting with http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release ... ) in order to redirect the remote URL to the local copy of DocBook XSL within [Oxygen-install-dir]/frameworks/docbook/xsl through Oxygen's built-in XML catalog, that is:
  

  Code: Select all

  <xsl:import href="http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl-ns/current/fo/profile-docbook.xsl"/>

• Create a new DocBook transformation by duplicating the built-in scenario called DocBook PDF, edit the duplicate scenario and set the path of your XSLT customization layer in the text box XSL URL of the dialog box instead of the path of docbook/xsl/fo/docbook_custom.xsl.
• Run this new DocBook transformation. The title page of the PDF result should reflect your customizations.
