Nope. Neither will work. Sorry. That's what I get for speaking b4 thinking. Where's the variable going to get it's value from? Certainly not from the instruction -- that's for the FOP processor to use not the XSLT processor. You'll get NaN. > -Original Message- > From: Matthew L. Avi

Re: When a page is not a page

Well here's the thing I guess. I think it is a significant ommision that the FOP spec fails to supported paper that can be folded, even if this sort of paper is no longer in vogue. Still this is the case in point. Now if I were in the business of making W3C recommendations (i.e teaching my grandmo
