No

Apologies for what is probably a dumb question but so far I have not been able to get this to work correctly.

I have a book. The book is basically a manual. The manual has a title and I want to place an image/logo to the left of that front page book level title. I don't want the image/logo to appear anywhere else.

I have tried placing the image in an <info> block inside the <title> tag and that works as far as my Eclipse plugin output is concerned but not for PDF, as the PDF is displaying the book title across the top of the TOC pages and obviously the title contains the image. So I need to separate the image from the title. </p> <p>I am unable to get the syntax correctly defined to include an imageobject in the book and before the <title>. This would seem to be a simple issue but so far I have not been able to determine the correct syntax.</p> <p>Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated. </p></title></info>

    I am unable to get the syntax correctly defined to include an imageobject in the book and before the title. This would seem to be a simple issue but so far I have not been able to determine the correct syntax.

    Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

    This is an issue of customizing the XSL stylesheet to place the logo where you want it. There is a better forum for such questions than the bug reporting list.

    I would suggest you post your question to the docbook-apps mailing list, where you will most likely get a suitable response. See this reference to sign up.
