Manual:Extension/PDFCreator/Custom cover sheets/Cover variation 2

For instructions on how to customize PDF cover sheets, read PDFCreator/Custom cover sheets.

Cover style

This style centers the logo, book-title and book-subtitle vertically. Images are shown in their full height.

Cover style

Go to the page MediaWiki:PDFCreator and select your template. Then add the below content to the appropriate tabs.

Cover sheet layout

Replace the content of the tab Document preface with the following content:

<div class="pdfcreator-intro">
    <div class="pdfcreator-intro-logo">{{{logo}}}</div>
    <div class="pdfcreator-intro-title">{{{book-title}}}
        <div class="pdfcreator-intro-subtitle">{{{book-subtitle}}}</div>
        <!--<div class="pdfcreator-intro-text">
            <div>Adress line 1</div>
            <div>Adress line 2</div>
            <div>City, State</div>
            <div>More contact info</div>
        </div>-->
	</div>
</div>

This layout already has some additional hidden area for additional intro-text, but it is commented out.

CSS rules

In addition, append the following CSS rules to the standard content of the Styles tab:
