Re: [docbook] Thesis title page question

[Diego Mauricio Paz Carrillo <dipaz at unicauca dot edu dot co>]

Hi deepak,

i had the same problem, in my country (colombia) there are some
standards called icontec based on the iso 2145: 1978. I'm trying to
customize docbook because some tags are not useful for this standard.
For example:

-----------------------------
|                           |  
|                           |  
|                           |  
|     Title of my Thesis    |
|                           |  
|                           |  
|                           |  
|       Author 1            |  
|       Auhtor 2            |  
|                           |

|                           |  
|                           |  
|                           |  
|                           |  
|          University       |  
|          Facultry         |  
|          Department       |  
|          City             |
|          Year             |
|                           |

|       Director:           |  
|         Director's name   |

|          City             |
|          Year             |
|                           |  
-----------------------------

As u can see... there are some items that can't be implement like
director,  i wonder, if it exists an author and a editor and
collaborators, why not a director of the project.

An example of an xml it could be:

<book>
	<bookinfo>
		<title>Title of my Thesis</title>
		<authorgroup>
			<author>
				<firstname>Author</firstname>
				<surname>one</surname>
			</author>
			<author>
				<firstname>Author</firstname>
				<surname>Two</surname>
			</author>
			<director>
				<honorific>Dr</honorific>
				<firstname>Jhon</firstname>
				<surname>Doe</surname>
			</director>
		</authorgroup>
		<affiliation>
			<orgname>University</orgname>
			<orgdiv>Facultry</orgdiv>
			<orgdiv>Department</orgdiv>
		</affiliation>
		<address>
			<city>City</city>
			<state>State</state>
		</address>
	</bookinfo>
</book>

Now, u can work in customizing the output by using the xsl stylesheets 
by editing the titlepage.templates.xsl in fo folder in the
book.titlepage template setup tag set.

PD: u can add a director tag, by adding an element at the dbpoolx.mod
file, by copying and pasting  author module and renaming by director.

Good luck
