Thanks alot!
I have now a lovely image on my title page!
However, it seems I can't persuade <fo:block-container> to show my title.
I've tried this just to get it on the page but it just won't show up. Its in the fo-source but when I use fop it doesn't show up in the pdf-file.
<fo:block-container absolute-position="fixed" top="240mm" left="100mm">
<fo:block
margin-top="3in"
margin-left="{$page.margin.inner}"
margin-right="{$page.margin.outer}"
text-align="center"
color="black"
font-weight="bold"
font-family="{$title.font.family}"
font-size="30pt">
<xsl:value-of select="$title"/>
</fo:block>
</fo:block-container>
I've tried some variations on this but nothing works.
Doesn't fop support <fo:block-container>?
best regards,
/Kenneth
