Re: [xep-support] cover pages front and back

Hello,
The DocBook XSL stylesheets currently don't provide direct support for covers, only front title pages. Covers can come in a variety of configurations, such as single-sheet for front and back, wrap-around with spine, or wrap-around without spine for saddle stitch. Text placement and graphics are highly individual, so it is hard to write a general-purpose stylesheet for all possible designs. Also, cover PDFs are often produced separately because their production process (color, heavier stock) may differ from the process for the book block.

  Subject: [xep-support] cover pages front and back

  Hello,
  I want ot add a front and back cover to the PDF I am producing from DocBook XSL and XEP.
  The covers are images (in whatever format is appropriate for this task, eps, pdf, or whatever) except for the title of the book and a couple of other things like pub date.
  I am really new to all this and would greatly appreciate if someone could point me in the right direction.
  Thank you
