My question: What might have changed in pdftex (I'm pretty confident that
is where the change is) to cause a change in the spacing of docbook
titlepage elements? How do I address this?? In particular, I am
comfortable working out spacing of other items if I can cause that the legal
notice appear at the bottom of the page (it used to...).
The background: I have just upgraded my (previously stable) RH 6.2
environment to RH 7.1. I am using the RH-supplied openjade/pdftex tool
chain with the latest modular stylesheets. That combination of tools
resulted in extra pages after each of title page(s) and TOC page.
I upgraded to pdftex 3.11, which solved the extra-page problem. This leaves
me with (I hope) only an issue of titlepage spacing.
Documents generated with my previous tool chain had a title page with three
sections spaced across the page - Title, author/sponsor, and legal notice.
I had used PositionPreference: 'bottom (perhaps without effect???) to cause
the legal notice to be positioned at the bottom of the page. Now, with the
set of tools that I am using, the titlepage elements appear in succession,
without any spacing in between. This places things at the top of the
document without any intervening white space.
Has there been a change that affected PositionPreference? Any other changes
that would have altered the spacing of elements on the titlepage?
Thanks,
Lane.
