Re: Dictionary style pages

[Edward Dowgiallo]

Corrina,       The example (franklin_2pageseqs.fo) does not do what I am looking for. Although starting with page 7, it does alternate between odd and even masters, the page number is always on the right hand bottom. I want to know how to make it appear on right hand bottom for odd pages and left hand bottom for even pages.       Is there a syntax that allows me to associate the static-content with a particular conditional-page-master?       However, I do thank you for taking a moment to try and help me.   Ed ----- Original Message ----- From: Corinna Hischke To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, December 07, 2001 10:14 AM Subject: Re: Dictionary style pages Hi,   1. page number on the left/right for left/right pages: You have to set up two page-sequences, one for the odd and one for the even pages, say 'left_pages' and 'right_pages'. Each sequence must have a separate name for the region-after.   Tie them together in your page-sequence-master with this:  <fo:repeatable-page-master-alternatives>     <fo:conditional-page-master-reference      master-name="right_pages"      odd-or-even="odd" />     <fo:conditional-page-master-reference      master-name="left_pages"      odd-or-even="even" />    </fo:repeatable-page-master-alternatives> In your fo:flow you can then put up two fo:static-content sections by referring to the different region-after names.   For more details, see docs/examples/pagination/franklin_2pageseqs.fo.   2. I didn't try it, but theoretically markers should be used for this kind of 'running header'.   HTH, Corinna ----- Original Message ----- From: Edward Dowgiallo To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, December 07, 2001 3:40 PM Subject: Re: Dictionary style pages Is there a way to do this? Again, it is a very common book format.

I'd like to put the earliest name in the collating sequence that appears on the page on the left hand top and latest name in the collating sequece on the right hand top. i.e. if the page contains entires in alphabetical order from cat to dog, I'd like the word cat on the left hand side of the region-before and dog on the right hand side of the region-before. Thank you, Ed
