The <quote>root</quote> of this template set is the template named <quote><literal>wrapper.titlepage</literal></quote>. That is the template that should be called to generate the title page. </para> <para>The <literal>t:titlepage</literal> element has three attributes: <variablelist> <varlistentry><term>element</term> <listitem> <para>The name of the source document element for which these templates apply. In other words, to make a title page for the <tag>article</tag> element, set the <tag class="attribute">element</tag> attribute to <quote><literal>article</literal></quote>. This attribute is required. </para> </listitem> </varlistentry> <varlistentry><term>wrapper</term> <listitem> <para>The entire title page can be wrapped with an element. This attribute identifies that element. </para> </listitem> </varlistentry> <varlistentry><term>class</term> <listitem> <para>If the <tag class="attribute">class</tag> attribute is set, a <tag class="attribute">class</tag> attribute with this value will be added to the wrapper element that surrounds the entire title page. </para> </listitem> </varlistentry> </variablelist> </para> <para>Any other attributes are copied through literally to the wrapper element.</para> <para>The content of a <literal>t:titlepage</literal> is one or more <literal>t:titlepage-content</literal>, <literal>t:titlepage-separator</literal>, and <literal>t:titlepage-before</literal> elements.</para> <para>Each of these elements may be provided for the <quote>recto</quote> and <quote>verso</quote> sides of the title page.</para> </refsect1></refentry> <refentry xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xml:id="attr_star_in_copy.literal.atts"> <refnamediv> <refname>@* (in copy.literal.atts mode)</refname> <refpurpose>Copy t:titlepage attributes</refpurpose> </refnamediv> <refsynopsisdiv> <synopsis><xsl:template match="@*" mode="copy.literal.atts"/></synopsis> </refsynopsisdiv> <refsect1><title>Description</title> <para>This template copies all of the <quote>other</quote> attributes from a <literal>t:titlepage</literal> element onto the specified wrapper.</para> </refsect1></refentry> <refentry xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xml:id="titlepage-content"> <refnamediv> <refname>t:titlepage-content</refname> <refpurpose>Create templates for the content of one side of a title page</refpurpose> </refnamediv> <refsynopsisdiv> <synopsis><xsl:template match="t:titlepage-content"/></synopsis> </refsynopsisdiv> <refsect1><title>Description</title> <para>The title page content, that is, the elements from the source document that are rendered on the title page, can be controlled independently for the recto and verso sides of the title page.</para> <para>The <literal>t:titlepage-content</literal> element has two attributes: <variablelist> <varlistentry><term>side</term> <listitem> <para>Identifies the side of the page to which this title page content applies. The <tag class="attribute">side</tag> attribute is required and must be set to either <quote><literal>recto</literal></quote> or <quote><literal>verso</literal></quote>. In addition, you must specify exactly one <literal>t:titlepage-content</literal> for each side within each <literal>t:titlepage</literal>.</para> </listitem> </varlistentry> <varlistentry><term>order</term> <listitem> <para>Indicates how the order of the elements presented on the title page is determined. If the <tag class="attribute">order</tag> is <quote><literal>document</literal></quote>, the elements are presented in document order. Otherwise (if the <tag class="attribute">order</tag> is <quote><literal>stylesheet</literal></quote>), the elements are presented in the order that they appear in the template (and consequently in the stylesheet).</para> </listitem> </varlistentry> </variablelist> </para> <para>The content of a <literal>t:titlepage-content</literal> element is a list of element names. These names should be unqualified. They identify the elements in the source document that should appear on the title page. </para> <para>Each element may have a single attribute: <tag class="attribute">predicate</tag>. The value of this attribute is used as a predicate for the expression that matches the element on which it occurs.</para> <para>In other words, to put only the first three authors on the recto-side of a title page, you could specify: <screen> <t:titlepage-contents side="recto"> <!-- other titlepage elements --> <author predicate="[count(previous-sibling::author)<2]"/> <!-- other titlepage elements --> </t:titlepage-contents> </screen> </para> <para>Usually, the elements so named are empty. But it is possible to make one level of selection within them. Suppose that you want to process <literal>authorgroup</literal> elements on the title page, but you want to select only proper authors, editors, or corporate authors, not collaborators or other credited authors.</para> <para>In that case, you can put a <literal>t:or</literal> group inside the <literal>authorgroup</literal> element: <screen> <t:titlepage-contents side="recto"> <!-- other titlepage elements --> <authorgroup> <t:or> <author/> <editor/> <corpauthor/> </t:or> </authorgroup> <!-- other titlepage elements --> </t:titlepage-contents> </screen> </para> <para>This will have the effect of automatically generating a template for processing <literal>authorgroup</literal>s in the title page mode, selecting only the specified children. If you need more complex processing, you'll have to construct the templates by hand.</para> </refsect1></refentry> <refentry xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xml:id="titlepage-separator"> <refnamediv> <refname>t:titlepage-separator</refname> <refpurpose>Create templates for the separator</refpurpose> </refnamediv> <refsynopsisdiv> <synopsis><xsl:template match="t:titlepage-separator"/></synopsis> </refsynopsisdiv> <refsect1><title>Description</title> <para>The title page is separated from the content which follows it by the markup specified in the <literal>t:titlepage-separator</literal> element.</para> </refsect1></refentry> <refentry xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xml:id="titlepage-before"> <refnamediv> <refname>t:titlepage-before</refname> <refpurpose>Create templates for what precedes a title page</refpurpose> </refnamediv> <refsynopsisdiv> <synopsis><xsl:template match="t:titlepage-before"/></synopsis> </refsynopsisdiv> <refsect1><title>Description</title> <para>Each side of the title page is preceded by the markup specified in the <literal>t:titlepage-before</literal> element for that side.</para> </refsect1></refentry> <refentry xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xml:id="star_in_copy"> <refnamediv> <refname>* (in copy mode)</refname> <refpurpose>Copy elements</refpurpose> </refnamediv> <refsynopsisdiv> <synopsis><xsl:template match="*" mode="copy"/></synopsis> </refsynopsisdiv> <refsect1><title>Description</title> <para>This template simply copies the elements that it applies to straight through into the result tree.</para> </refsect1></refentry> <refentry xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xml:id="attr_star_in_copy"> <refnamediv> <refname>@* (in copy mode)</refname> <refpurpose>Copy attributes</refpurpose> </refnamediv> <refsynopsisdiv> <synopsis><xsl:template match="@*" mode="copy"/></synopsis> </refsynopsisdiv> <refsect1><title>Description</title> <para>This template simply copies the attributes that it applies to straight through into the result tree.</para> </refsect1></refentry> <refentry xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xml:id="attr_star_in_document.order"> <refnamediv> <refname>* (in document.order mode)</refname> <refpurpose>Create rules to process titlepage elements in document order</refpurpose> </refnamediv> <refsynopsisdiv> <synopsis><xsl:template match="*" mode="document.order"/></synopsis> </refsynopsisdiv> <refsect1><title>Description</title> <para>This template is called to process all of the children of the <literal>t:titlepage-content</literal> element.
