[xep-support] Re: Question on Cover Page

Most anything is possible.

Your task is only to customize what you need to do in Docbook.

You would use a one page, page sequence and on that page put the PDF as the
background-image on the region-before, set the extent of the region-before
equal to the page height.

Since you need to have some content on the page, juts place
<fo:block><fo:leader/></fo:block> in the flow of the page.

Use initial-page-number="1" and no-force for the page count on the following
page sequence that is your content.

Subject: [xep-support] Question on Cover Page

I'm probably grasping at straws for this one, but it never hurts to ask.

I have a one page PDF that I would like to use as a cover page for my
document. It was created in OpenOffice's Writer, and it has the
title/subtitle in the fonts I want and it has the logo.

I found there are numbering problems in the document if I use `pdftk` to
replace the cover page after the book is built. With pdftk, the cover page
starts numbering at '1' rather than 'i', so the first content page is 6
rather than 1.

Is it possible to instruct XEP to use my cover page in place of the DocBook
stuff (specifically, the recto page)?

Thanks in advance.
