Sounds unpleasant.
I was wondering if I could have my mark on every page and have a bit of
logic behind it that figures out where it is in the pages and therefore
whether it's on the last odd page. If the arithmetic figures out that it's
on the last odd page the mark is shown, if not it's not shown.
Slats produces this code when you insert an "X of Y" pagination element...
<fo:page-number/><xsl:text> of </xsl:text>
<fo:page-number-citation ref-id="pageNumberCitation"/>
....
<xsl:if test='position()=last()'>
<fo:block id="pageNumberCitation"/>
</xsl:if>
I'm by no means fluent in XSLT/XSL:FO but that looks pretty good to me.
There's mention of (presumably) current position and 'last' position. Could
this not be adapted with smarter XSLT to have it figure-out my "Am I on the
last odd page" question?
Obviously, my situation does not need the creation of a unique/complicated
barcode on each page, I just need to draw (say) three underscores. It
doesn't sound like rocket science.
Cheers
Jason.
