Dye" Cc: Org Mode Thomas, I have a more specific question. I have already managed to embed an image to act as the cover of the book. However, the image is being shown in the third page. I want the sequence to be like this: 1) Cover image 2) The sub-cover: "Title"" My Name Date 3) TOC 4) Intro, chapters... How could I do that? Thanks in advance! Regards, Marcelo.
