Revised title page with the graphic as a background image that fills the page.

The title incorporates the Markup UK logo (which has alternate text of “Markup UK ”), and the year is coloured with the red of the logo. This was simple enough with XSLT 1.0, but it is the sort of thing that would be simpler with XSLT 2.0 or XSLT 3.0:

<xsl:variable name="text" select="normalize-space(.)" />

<xsl:choose>
  <xsl:when test="starts-with($text, 'Markup UK ')">
    <fo:external-graphic
        content-height="24mm" scaling="uniform"
        content-width="scale-to-fit"
        src="url({$muk-xsl.dir}/img/MarkupUK-2.svg)"
        axf:alttext="Markup UK " />
    <fo:block />
    <xsl:variable
        name="rest"
        select="substring-after($text, 'Markup UK ')" />
    <xsl:choose>
      <xsl:when
          test="string-length($rest) >= 4 and
                translate(substring($rest, 1, 4),
                          '1234567890',
                          '') = ''">
        <fo:inline
            color="{$muk.red}" text-depth="0">
          <xsl:value-of
              select="substring($rest, 1, 4)" />
        </fo:inline>
        <xsl:value-of
            select="substring($rest, 5)" />
      </xsl:when>
      <xsl:otherwise>
        <xsl:value-of select="$rest" />
      </xsl:otherwise>
    </xsl:choose>
  </xsl:when>
  <xsl:otherwise>
    <xsl:apply-templates />
  </xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>

Sponsor logos on two facing pages. The size and sequence of the logos were kept the same because it was not known what had been arranged with the sponsors about the appearance of their logos.

Page of credits and thank yous. This, also, is largely unchanged from the original and for the same reason.

Revised table of contents with formatting that reflects the formatting of the titles and author names in the articles. The titles are larger than in the original to make it easier to click on them to go to an article. The page numbers were kept small and are put close to the titles rather than being separated by leaders because the page numbers are less significant when the proceedings are read in a PDF reader.
