Thanks. That was an unexpected solution. I used two-sided=yes to make sure the margins were mirrored for publishing. No worries, though.

See http://www.xmlmind.com/ditac/_distrib/doc/manual/xsltParams.html#xsltParams__two-sided For example, please compare: http://www.xmlmind.com/ditac/_distrib/doc/manual/manual.pdf which is double-sided, and hence has its chapters starting on the next odd page, to: http://www.xmlmind.com/ditac/_distrib/doc/manual/manual-fop.pdf which is single-sided, and hence has its chapters starting on any new page, whether even or odd. --> If you want to see how it's coded, please take a look at DITAC_install_dir/xsl/fo/pagination.xsl. The template of interest being: --- <!-- configurePageSequence ====================================== --> <xsl:template name="configurePageSequence"> <!-- The context node is the element (titlePage, toc, chapter, etc) which is the head of this page sequence. --> <xsl:param name="sequenceName" select="''"/> <xsl:param name="frontmatterNames" select="()"/> <xsl:param name="bodyNames" select="()"/> <xsl:param name="backmatterNames" select="()"/> <xsl:param name="topicInfo" select="element()"/> <xsl:param name="documentTitle" select="''"/> ... ---
