Re: [docbook-apps] initial.page.number bug?

Title: KCC Stationery

Hi David,

Take a look at the template named 'force.page.count' in 
fo/pagesetup.xsl.  That's the one that forces the end-on-even which 
generates the blank pages.  Set them all to 'no-force'.

Subject: [docbook-apps] 
  initial.page.number bug?

  

  
Hello everyone,

  
 

  
I have the following format in my 
  <book>:

  
<book>

  
<preface/>

  
<preface/>

  
<chapter/>

  
</book>

  
 

  
I want the page numbering to start at "1" 
  with the first <preface>.

  
 

  
However, I have <xsl:param name="double.sided">1</xsl:param> set in order to maintain the flip-flop margin layouts, and as a 
  result I get blank pages after EVERY  
<preface>.

  
I would like the numbering to start at 1 
  and continue through the book w/o extra blank pages while still maintaining 
  double.sided=1 if possible.

  
 

  
Here is my initial.page.number  
  template:

  
 

  

  
<xsl:template name="initial.page.number">

  
<xsl:param name="element" select="local-name(.)"/>

  
<xsl:param name="master-reference" select="''"/>

  
<!-- double-sided output 
  -->

  
<xsl:choose>

  
<xsl:when test="$double.sided != 0">

  
<xsl:choose>

  
<xsl:when test="$element = 'preface' 
  and not(preceding::preface)">1</xsl:when>

  
<xsl:otherwise>auto-odd</xsl:otherwise>

  
</xsl:choose>

  
</xsl:when>

  
</xsl:choose>

  
</xsl:template>

  
 

  
Any suggestions?
