Hi Bob, I changed the code like you proposed. Now I am facing problems with the PDF output. Every time a new page-sequence is started it is interpreted as "first" page which has a totally different layout than the "odd" and "even" pages. Furthermore all pages after the second page-sequence have a wrong indent by means of admoniations, examples and text rendering in the nirvana.
Any solutions? Cheers, Tobias On Wed, May 6, 2009 at 12:37 AM, Bob Stayton <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > Yes, that is one workaround that should work in FOP. > > Two things need to happen.
