Took me a while to get back to this.
Bob, I followed the documentation that you referred to, and added a
background-color attribute to the fo:region-after elements. It doesn't seem
to do a thing.
Here's the logic I put in to decide whether to use the default or the
custom page-masters:
<xsl:template name="select.user.pagemaster">
<xsl:param name="element"/>
<xsl:param name="pageclass"/>
<xsl:param name="default-pagemaster"/>
<!-- Return my customized title page master name if for body,
otherwise return the default -->
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="$default-pagemaster = 'body'">
<xsl:value-of select="'instart-body'" />
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:value-of select="$default-pagemaster"/>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>
I suspect I am not selecting my custom one properly and it's using the
default - but I can't see why. Any ideas?
