in the customize directory i have a custom_fo.xsl file which

I modified the pagination.xsl file, as you can see below, to place
borders around pages which works fine.

But what i would really like to do now is move this code into the
customize directory as a template of some sort that will override the
page class in the pagination.xsl file.
I know this sounds like a support question, and would not bother asking
you if how to do so were included in the XMLmind user manual, but i
can't such instructions anywhere.
Your question is in fact about XSLT, and not about XMLmind DITA Converter.
What follows applies to your case:
XMLmind DITA Converter Manual
2. Customizing the look of the PDF files generated by ditac
http://www.xmlmind.com/ditac/_distrib/doc/manual/manual-6.html#customAttributeSet
because a .xsl customization file is not limited to containing
attribute-sets. It may also contain templates. See below.
I have tried to get this to work like you would for a titlepage.fo file
and as well as a template.xsl file with no luck.
Could you be so kind to a least provide me with some hints about how to
go about this.
I am rendering xml files to PDF using Apache FOP.
1) Restore the stock "pagination.xsl".
2) Copy in your "custom_fo.xsl" the template you have modified in
"pagination.xsl". Copy just your custom version of this template, which
seems to be:
<xsl:template name="layoutMasterSet">
<fo:layout-master-set>
...
</fo:layout-master-set>
</xsl:template>
This works because your "custom_fo.xsl" imports the stock "fo.xsl"
(which in turn imports "pagination.xsl"), hence your custom
<xsl:template name="layoutMasterSet"> has priority over the stock
<xsl:template name="layoutMasterSet">.
