Complicated front page layouts: use tables?
On my front page I want a graphic aligned left. Opposite
the graphic, I want 2 or 3 lines of text aligned right.
Do I need to use a table to recreate this layout?
The default titlepage template seems to work well for flows
down the page. But for the layout I want, the template
inserts the graphic under the lines of text.
====================================
<t:titlepage t:element="book" t:wrapper="fo:block">
<t:titlepage-content t:side="recto">
<title
t:named-template="division.title"
param:node="ancestor-or-self::book[1]"
text-align="right"
font-size="&hsize4;"
padding-before="2in"
font-weight="bold"
font-family="{$title.fontset}"/>
<subtitle
text-align="right"
font-size="&hsize3;"
space-before="&hsize3space;
font-family="{$title.fontset}"/>
<!-- Add part number and publication date -->
<pubsnumber
font-size="&hsize0;" font-weight="" space-before="5.5in" text-align="right"/>
<pubdate font-size="&hsize0;" font-weight="" text-align="right"/>
<!-- Add company logo graphic -->
<mediaobject text-align="left"/>
</t:titlepage-content>

Thanks. I need to work out how to edit my template file to get your fo:
stylesheet markup.

I'm not sure what you would be selecting from but some "template" which
it designed for brochures or news letters might fit the bill. At the fo
level it's the column-count property on region-body. Here's one I'm
using in my stylesheet (which transforms the xml containing the content
into fo layout).
<fo:simple-page-master master-name="chapter-open"
page-height="11in" page-width="8.5in"
margin="{$rightPageMargins}">
<fo:region-body column-count="2"
margin-top="{$chapterOpenExtent}in"
margin-right="0.7in"
column-gap="0.4in"/>
<fo:region-before region-name="chapter-title"
column-count="2"
column-gap="0.4in"
margin-right="0.7in"
extent="{$chapterOpenExtent}in"/>
</fo:simple-page-master>

Thanks. How do I select a non-standard front page layout like this?
I am working using the titlepage.template.xml file to generate the fop
markup for my front page.

two-column page layout with full-page-length sized blocks might do the
trick.
