<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hello,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>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.</FONT></DIV>
