The picture above represents a single sheet of A4 (Letter)
paper. However it also represents two pages in a book, and
if the page is folded down the dotted line it even starts to
look like a book. My problem is this; I need the page number
sequence as displayed in the picture - ie. 2 pages per page (sheet)
I have no trouble laying out the text flow correctly using
stuff like
<fo:simple-page-master master-name="content"
page-height="{$pageheight}mm"
page-width="{$pagewidth}mm"
margin-left="{$marginleft}mm"
margin-right="{$marginright}mm"
margin-top="{$margintop}mm"
margin-bottom="{$marginbottom}mm">
<fo:region-before extent="10mm"/>
<fo:region-after extent="10mm"/>
<fo:region-body margin-top="10mm"
margin-bottom="10mm"
column-count="2"
column-gap="20mm"/>
</fo:simple-page-master>
and I defined a static region for the page number values
using the following
<fo:static-content flow-name="xsl-region-after"
font-family="serif"
font-size="9pt">
<fo:table table-layout="fixed">
<fo:table-column column-width="120mm"/>
<fo:table-column column-width="120mm"/>
<fo:table-body>
<fo:table-row>
<fo:table-cell>
<fo:block text-align="center">
<fo:page-number/> <!-- 2x -->
</fo:block>
</fo:table-cell>
<fo:table-cell>
<fo:block text-align="center">
<fo:page-number/> <!-- 2x + 1 -->
</fo:block>
</fo:table-cell>
</fo:table-row>
</fo:table-body>
</fo:table>
</fo:static-content>
but I do not know how to get the <fo:page-number/> to play
the game and give me more than one page number per page.
Perhaps I am wrong in my approach and there is a way of
specifying two page regions per page/sheet, but I have
not found it yet.
Any ideas?
