I suppose that there must be a story
behind a product with version 0.94 being called version 1, but anyway...
Indeed. The FOP development team developed a new code base after version
0.20.5, the last stable version on the old line. The new code base started
with version 0.90 and is intended to become version 1.0 when it is ready.
The new code base required new extensions in the stylesheets.

I think the xsl-region-body error is caused by not setting the processor
extension when you run the xslt:
fop.extensions — Enable FOP extensions for version 0.20.5 and earlier
fop1.extensions — Enable extensions for FOP version 1 and later
Excellent! I found information about fop.extensions in the archives, but I
was not aware of fop1.extensions. I suppose that there must be a story
behind a product with version 0.94 being called version 1, but anyway...
For anyone who might have this problem:
C:\>xsltproc --stringparam fop1.extensions 1 --stringparam double.sided 1
path\to\stylesheet your-xml-file> your.fo
C:\>fop your.fo your.pdf
Sorry I misunderstood what you want to do with the blank page. Still, If
you're at the Hello World stage, I think your best bet is to investigate
the XSL processing options, because they provide the all the controls
that you have without customization.
There are a lot of processing options. The FO-specific parameters are
referenced at http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/doc/fo/.
To make sense of them, you perhaps already know Bob Stayton's DocBook
XSL The Complete Guide. In the current edition (4), Chapter 8, Printed
Output Options, lays out all the pring options that are available
without customizing anything.
Yes. I will definitely start reading it. When you write a "Hello, world!"
program (which you can usually do without digging too deep into the
books), you know that it works when you see "Hello, world!" on the
screen. After that, you can move on to greater things.
Thank you very much. I have spent the last few hours trying to build
xmlroff so that I could try a different FO processor. It has a host of
dependencies, and being on Windows, it's not easy. I can take a break
now. Maybe I'll get back to it one day. At least it should be faster than
fop, since it is written in C.
By the way, I just noticed that, for whatever reason, my responses went
to you and Bob Stayton directly, and not to the list, so I am posting
again here.
