Re: Headers and pagination
Dear Tim, et.al., I'm doing the same as you for our newsletter - wanting to change the heading when a new chapter is started. I achieve this by starting a new for each chapter containing a containing the title. I've attached by XSL file. It's in the template for chapter (in body). Any comments gratefully received. http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format"; xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";> http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format";> (Reviewed by ) From , pages, ISBN () Phone: Fax: E-mail: · - · () - [] $ £ The Newsletter of the UK UNIX Users Group Published electronically at http://www.ukuug.org/newsletter/ ISSN Volume , Number Table of Contents Regards, Mick /"\ \ / X ASCII Ribbon Campaign / \ Against HTML Mail - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

You can only have one fo:flow per page-sequence, but you can have as many fo:static-content's as you like, and use as many page-masters as you need for one given page-sequence. Every page in a page-sequence could have different page-masters and different headers, footers and sidebars. There should be some examples in FOP already, under docs/examples.

RE: Headers and pagination
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.

RE: Headers and pagination
Thanks Arved and Trevor for your help and thanks Arved for the privilege of allowing me to be the 'first known 3rd party tester'. 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). To make matters worse I think my full requirement is for something that isn't supported yet by the XSL:FO standard although I'm not sure (I really am just a newbie at this). 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..

Hi, Tim FOP now implements fully 2 properties on fo:page-sequence that are exactly what you need - 'force-page-count' and 'initial-page-number'. You will be the first known 3rd party tester. :-) The _default_ behaviour of page-numbering is to already do what you want to do (the default behaviour of 'initial-page-number'). The aforementioned properties happen to give you extra flexibility. Also check out the 'format' property...

RE: Headers and pagination
Title: RE: Headers and pagination Hi, I've just been playing with this stuff, and it all seems to work fine. If you don't specify "initial-page-number" the pages will happily keep counting; you can even change the format between page sequences without affecting the count. One thing I did notice: if you use initial-page-number then something tries to force the new page sequence onto an odd page; this does not happen when allowing the page numbers to flow on between sequences. You can prevent this behaviour using force-page-count="no-force" (I'm assuming it defaults to "auto" when using initial-page-count). >FOP now implements fully 2 properties on fo:page-sequence that >are exactly what you need - 'force-page-count' and 'initial- >page-number'. You will be the first known 3rd party tester. :-) >Also check out the 'format' property... I've included a test sample below which works fine with last night's CVS. Just change the commented page-sequence bits to experiment with the different numbering/formatting possibilities.

Headers and pagination
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.
