RE: [dssslist] Re: How to increase the space before the title of an article and modify the font of the title with DSSSL?

Chunman,

It's been a LONG time since I wrote any DSSSL code but if I remember
correctly, the space-before is being ignored because it occurs at the "top" of
the page. I think you may need to put something at the top of the page (e.g.,
a paragraph with just a space) in order for this your space-before to be
respected, e.g.,

(element (articleinfo title)
(make paragraph (literal " "))
(make paragraph
font-family-name: "Times New Roman"
font-weight: 'bold
font-size: 35pt
space-before: 55pt
space-after: 10pt
start-indent: 6pt
quadding: 'center))

Try and try again, I find that my customized dsssl doesn't work, No matter
what stylesheet I write in my dsssl, It still doesn't work。

But when I remove the reference of docbook.dsl in my dsssl, my dsssl works ,
just like below:

<!DOCTYPE style-sheet PUBLIC "-//James Clark//DTD DSSSL Style Sheet//EN" [
  <!ENTITY % html "IGNORE">
  <![%html; [
    <!ENTITY % print "IGNORE">
    <!ENTITY docbook.dsl PUBLIC "-//Norman Walsh//DOCUMENT DocBook HTML
Stylesheet//EN" CDATA dsssl>
  ]]>
  <!ENTITY % print "INCLUDE">
  <![%print; [
    <!ENTITY docbook.dsl PUBLIC "-//Norman Walsh//DOCUMENT DocBook Print
Stylesheet//EN" CDATA dsssl>
  ]]>
]>

My DSSSL:

(element (articleinfo title)
(make paragraph
font-family-name: "Times New Roman"
font-weight: 'bold
font-size: 35pt
space-before: 55pt
space-after: 10pt
start-indent: 6pt
quadding: 'center))

but the attribute space-before doesn't work, can anyone help me?
