I have run into one problem with last-page-number references. If you are
using double-sided output and your content ends on an odd-numbered page,
then your last page reference will be to that odd-numbered page. But the
page count ends on the generated blank even-numbered page. I usually solve
this problem by turning off the page numbering on the last page, if that is
acceptable for the design.
I've also tried adding a page-master selected by page-position="last" and
putting an empty block with the last page id in its static content. This
worked in Antenna House, but not XEP, I think because linking to static
content is not defined in the XSL-FO spec (or is it?).
Has anyone else solved this problem?
