Hi,
It is not possible to do what you want with just stylesheet parameters. You would
need to copy the template named 'footer.table' from fo/pagesetup.xsl to your
customization layer and customize it. In that template, you will find three calls to
the template named 'header.footer.width', which is a utility template that extracts
one of the three number values from the 'footer.column.widths' parameter.
In your customization, you would use an xsl:choose statement to override the numbers
for your special case. The 'footer.table' template has three params of its own that
are populated when it is called. The template param named 'sequence' will contain a
value of 'first', 'odd', 'even', or 'blank', depending on the current page. For
example, for the first column, use:
<fo:table-column column-number="1">
<xsl:attribute name="column-width">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="$sequence = 'first'">
<xsl:text>0</xsl:text>
<xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:call-template name="header.footer.width">
...
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:attribute>
</fo:table-column>
Do similar overrides for the other two columns.
The reason you cannot just customize the utility template 'header.footer.width' is
because it is not passed the 'sequence' param, although it probably should be to
enable such customization.

Subject: [docbook-apps] Different values for footer.column.widths on first page and
rest of document?
Hi,
I have managed to implement many customizations to my FO customization layer for PDF
output, using Bob Stayton's excellent book and this list as reference.
Now I am stuck on the footers in a doc with <article> as root. I want the footer
content on the first (front) page to be different than the rest of the pages, and
that I accomplished already (see below). But for the first page footer to be
correctly formatted, I need to use different column widths for it compared to the
rest:
First page needs this value: <xsl:param name="footer.column.widths">0 1
0</xsl:param>
Other pages need this value: <xsl:param name="footer.column.widths">1 1
1</xsl:param>
Is it possible to do this? I am a newbie when it comes to xsl templates and defining
parameter values in them, so a bit confused.
This is because I want a legal notice on the front, and name, page number and url on
the rest. It works with these template "hacks", except I can't figure out how to get
the footer column widths into conditional statements:
<xsl:when test="$sequence = 'first'">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="$double.sided = 0 and $position='left'">
<!-- <fo:page-number/> -->
</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="$double.sided = 0 and $position = 'center'">
<fo:block text-align="justify">
<!-- OKL: Insert legal notice in the footer of the first page -->
<xsl:apply-templates select="//legalnotice[1]"
mode="article.titlepage.recto.auto.mode"/>
</fo:block>
</xsl:when>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:when>
(I have customized the title page xsl to make the above work)
.....
<!-- ********** OKL: Single sided, doc body ***************** -->
<xsl:when test="$double.sided = 0 and $position='left'">
<!-- OKL: Insert company name -->
<xsl:apply-templates select="//corpauthor[1]"/>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="$double.sided = 0 and $position='center'">
<!-- OKL: Insert page number -->
<fo:page-number/>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="$double.sided = 0 and $position='right'">
<!-- OKL: Insert url -->
<xsl:value-of select="'www.xxxxxxxxxx.com'"/>
</xsl:when>
I am using DocBook 4.5 with XSL/FO version 1.73.2
Thanks for any tips...
