Re: [docbook-apps] Footnotes numbers dimension and separating line

Well, it used to be true that fop did not support the xsl-footnote-separator
static content in a page master, and it is still not listed in their
supported elements.  However, it appears to work now, so I guess the
stylesheet should be updated.

In the mean time, you can customize the setup.pagemasters template in
fo/pagesetup.xsl by moving the call to the footnote-separator template to
outside the if statement:

  <xsl:if test="$fop.extensions = 0">
    <xsl:call-template name="blank.page.content"/>
  </xsl:if>
  <xsl:call-template name="footnote-separator"/>
