Hi folks,
Currently, I am struggling with Docbook's page numbering mechanism. My PDF
document (created using XSLTPROC and FOP 0.94) has a front coverpage that
basically is a customized titlepage-first page. After the coverpage comes a
legal notice, TOC and a Part. Here are the problems I have:
1) The legal notice page and its subsequent blank page have a numbering (2 and
3 respectively). Then there is another blank page and a TOC page with numbered
with a Roman number (v).
2) The first page of Part (where the part's title appears) is numbered with (1)
and its subsequent blank page has no numbering at all!!! :-( the next pages are
OK.
In my print.xsl I have the following code:
<!--Customizing header content for book format-->
<xsl:template name="header.content">
<xsl:param name="pageclass" select="''"/>
<xsl:param name="sequence" select="''"/>
<xsl:param name="position" select="''"/>
<xsl:param name="gentext-key" select="''"/>
....
....
<fo:block>
<!-- sequence can be odd, even, first, blank -->
<!-- position can be left, center, right -->
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="$double.sided!=0 and $pageclass='lot' and
$position='right'">
<fo:page-number/>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:when
test="$double.sided!=0 and $pageclass='lot' and $sequence='blank' and
$position='left'">
<fo:page-number/>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:when
test="$double.sided!=0 and $pageclass='body' and $sequence='blank' and
$position='left'">
<fo:page-number/>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="$double.sided!=0 and $pageclass='body' and
$sequence='even' and $position='left'">
<fo:page-number/>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:when
test="$double.sided!=0 and $pageclass='body'and ($sequence='odd' or
$sequence='first') and
$position='right'">
<fo:page-number/>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="$double.sided!=0 and $sequence='odd'
and $position='right'">
<fo:retrieve-marker retrieve-class-name="section.head.marker"
retrieve-position="first-including-carryover"
retrieve-boundary="page-sequence"/>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="$double.sided!=0 and $sequence='even' and
$position='left'">
<fo:retrieve-marker retrieve-class-name="section.head.marker"
retrieve-position="first-including-carryover"
retrieve-boundary="page-sequence"/>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="$double.sided=0 and $pageclass='body'
and $sequence !='first' and $position='center'">
<xsl:apply-templates select="." mode="titleabbrev.markup"/>
</xsl:when>
</xsl:choose>
</fo:block>
</xsl:template>
Could anyone tell me PLEASE, what have caused the above problems, and how to
solve them.
Thank you all in advance!!!
best wishes,
nancy
