[docbook-apps] PDF Output: calling a different page master for a specific element

2013-09-04 Thread Jeff Hooker
Hi all,

I'd like to call a specific page master for an element that contains a specific 
attribute value. Essentially, if for long, narrow tables I want to be able to 
call a three-column page master that prevents it from flowing over a 100 pages 
when 33 would do. I'm having issues figuring out how to call the new master, 
and a certain degree of difficulty understanding the exact hierarchy I'm 
working with here.

I've been puzzling over the references in Docbook XSL trying to understand how 
to apply them to this case, but have so far come up dry. Has anyone written up 
a good explanation of this somewhere? 

Cheers,
Jeff.

While I haven't used this myself, it seems this might be relevant:

Hi Jeff,
If you are using XEP for your XSL-FO processor, you can use the 
rx:flow-section extension element provided by RenderX that is like a block 
that supports multiple columns.


If you are using Antenna House, you can use their extension that allows a 
axf:column-count property on an fo:block-container.


If you are using FOP, it is possible, but not easy.  As you found, the basic 
problem is that the page column layout is defined in the page-master, but 
you can only change page-masters when you start a new page-sequence. But 
chapters start new page-sequences, not tables.


There is a workaround for FOP. G. Ken Holman of Crane Softwrights Ltd. has 
published a method for breaking up a single page-sequence into multiple 
page-sequences with different masters.   His Page Sequence Master Interleave 
(PSMI) method introduces an intermediate XSL process to rearrange the pages 
in an FO file. PSMI is described at 
http://www.cranesoftwrights.com/resources/psmi/index.htm.
