Headers and pagination

2001-07-31 Thread Tim.Keen

Hi all,

I'm wondering if anyone can tell me how to have varying headers for the same
page sequence or make page numbers flow over a number of page sequences.

I don't think I can, but I'm new to all of this and I could've have missed
something really simple.

I know I can get different headers for each page sequence, but I don't know
how to make the page number flow on from the previous page sequence. Using
initial-page-number would work, but I don't know how many pages are in the
first sequence, and I also don't know how many pages are in the subsequent
page sequence.

Cheers

I must be really confused. I thought that the header was defined once and
only once in the page-sequence as static-content and the
page-sequence-master children allowed for the use of different page layouts
for different pages, but not content of the page.

Anyway, if you could lead me to an example I would be very happy.

Cheers

Tim

Are you expecting me to test FOP 0.19 or the latest CVS version? If it's
the
former then it doesn't do what I tested it for, which is page numbering
continuing on from previous page-sequence while specifying
initial-page-count=auto for all page-sequences. I tested is by modifying
Trevor's example (see attached).

Latest CVS.

For my application I'm attempting to convert XML using XSLT to PDF, and in
this case the size of the data in the flow of every page-sequence is
undefined. Continuing the page count from page-sequence to page-sequence
appears to be okay as far as the XSL:FO spec, but I want to change the
header during a page sequence. Let me see if I can make it clearer:

 Page 1 Page 2 Page 3 Page n
-  -  -  -
| Hdr 1 |  | Hdr 2 |  | Hdr 2 |  | Hdr 2 |
| - |  | - |  | - |  | - |
| Flow1 |  | Flow1 |  | Flow2 |  | Flow3 |
|   |  |   |  |   |  |   |
-  -  -  -

Remember all the flows are undefined so Flow 1 could be 1..n pages etc..

If you want to change the header during a page-sequence then you need to use

page-sequence-master, and some combo of single-page-master-reference, 
repeatable-page-master-reference and repeatable-page-master-alternatives. I 
don't immediately see any stumbling block to what you want to do.
