Hi Gabriela,
The page number format is handled by the template named 'page.number.format'
in fo/pagesetup.xsl. That template is written to set the format attribute
value for each page-sequence that calls it. It bases the choice on the
element calling the template. Normally an article is a single page
sequence, so changing the format would not be an option.
But if you are generating separate title pages, you may be generating a
separate page-sequence (certainly the 'front.cover' template that I provided
does). Alternatively, your title pages may be in the same article
page-sequence but with forced page breaks. Since I don't know which method
you are using for your article title pages, I cannot provide much specific
advice.
If your title pages are generated with a call to the 'page.sequence'
template as I suggested for the half title page, then that template accepts
template parameters for page number format and initial page number:
<xsl:call-template name="page.sequence">
<xsl:with-param name="format">i</xsl:with-param>
<xsl:with-param name="initial-page-number">auto</xsl:with-param>
<xsl:with-param name="content">

So now let's tackle the number format (using roman numerals for the
titlepages and toc; having the first page start back at 1 ...)
What changes need to be made to the code snippet you provided me before
regarding the number format for the titlepages and the toc and the reset of
the pagenumber to 1 with the content?

Sorry, I thought we were talking about a book, not an article. Only the
book template automatically calls the 'front.cover' placeholder template.
An article does not normally have separate recto and verso title pages. Your
customization must already be producing those, so you may need to extend
your customization to add <xsl:call-template name="front.cover"/> to your
customization so it produces the extra half title page.

Hi Bob,
Thanks for your reply. However, I would need a little more guidance. I'm not
sure I follow your suggestion completely.... I will tackle only the extra
titlepage for now...

Yes, I've done this kind of half title page before. The book template calls
an empty placeholder template named 'front.cover' before any other content.
If you add such a template to your customization layer, it will appear
before the title page. That template needs to call the template named
'page.sequence' to generate an fo:page-sequence for the extra content. Since
you are already doing double sided, the new page sequence will automatically
generate the blank verso page.
You put the content of the page-sequence in the 'content' param for the
template. Below is an example that puts just the title and subtitle on the
extra title page. Those xsl:apply-templates were copied from
fo/titlepage.templates.xsl, from the template named 'book.titlepage.recto'
which generates the normal title page. If you have customized your title
page and generated new title page templates, you will want to copy those
instead.
Our print customization layer (myprint.xsl) imports the a few XSL sheets,
including a customized titlepage.xsl file called prn-titlepage.xsl, which is
generated from prn-titlepage.xml. The 'myprint.xsl' file also includes a
customized title page, ironically called 'mybook-titlepage' (with
mybook-titlepage-first, mybook-titlepage-even and mybook-titlepage-odd also
defined).
To my print customization layer (myprint.xsl) I added the 'front.cover'
template as follows, taking the 'content' from the 'article.titlepage.recto'
from the generated prn-titlepages.xsl sheet .... It did not give me an extra
titlepage ...
<!-- Adding a second title page -->
<xsl:template name="front.cover">
<xsl:call-template name="page.sequence">
<xsl:with-param name="master-reference">titlepage</xsl:with-param>
