Hi all I'm new to XSL and FOP and all that stuff. I need to create a PDF out of a docbook. My docbook looks like:<book lang="en"> <bookinfo> <title>myTitle</title> </bookinfo> <chapter> <title>chapter one</title> <simpara>text text text</simpara> </chapter> </book> I run FOP like this: Fop -xsl C:\xsl\fo\docbook.xsl -xml "myDocBook.xml" -pdf "myPdf.pdf" It creates a PDF like this(I attached it to this mail): - First page with the title -> This is ok - Page 2: title again, but small. Nothing more on the page. -> not ok! - page 3: Just empty. Why's that? -> NOT OK - page 4: The index of the book -> NICE! - page 5: My Text -> ok My questions are: 1. How do tell the XSL to not create the page 2 with the small title and not to create an empty page?
The empty page 3 might be because the attribute force-page-count="auto" is present on the page-sequence. This needs to forcae-page-count="no-force". I've no idea how to do that in Docbook. I also don't know why the 2nd page appears. Have you asked these questions on the docbook forum too?
2. How do I tell the XSL to create Bookmarks in the PDF?
I know how to do this in raw XSL-FO, again no idea how in docbook XML, sorry! The exact method used to creating bookmarks is different depending on which version of FOP you are using?
3. How Do I create header and footer for this document? (I think this is a docbook issue). But the header and footer should not appear on the first page as well as not on the index page.
This is possible using raw XSL-FO constructs, but I don't know how to do it in docbook XML.
Sorry I can't help you more, but I get the feeling most of yopur questions would be better suited on a docbook mailing list.
