Re: [docbook-apps] Suppressing blank pages: how to realize consecutive page numbering?

Hi,

You also need to customize the template named 
'initial.page.number' so the value is 'auto' instead of the default 'auto-odd' 
when $double.sided != 0.  This message from the archive provides 
details:

Subject: [docbook-apps] Suppressing blank 
  pages: how to realize consecutive page numbering?

  

  

  
 

  
Hi,

  
 

  
now I face the problem that our standards 
  demand to delete blank pages in PDF output.

  
 

  
I could manage it by using the following 
  command:

  
 

  
 <xsl:template 
  name="force.page.count">

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

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

  
 

  
                
    <xsl:choose>

  
                               
  <!-- double-sided output -->

  
                               
  <xsl:when test="$double.sided != 0">no-force</xsl:when>

  
                               
  <!-- single-sided output -->

  
                               
  <xsl:otherwise>no-force</xsl:otherwise>

  
                
    </xsl:choose>

  
                
  </xsl:template>

  
 

  
The blank pages are gone, but now the page 
  numbering is not consecutive – the page numbers of the deleted blank pages are 
  skipped over….

  
 

  
What’s the best way to solve this problem? 
  

  
 

  
 

  
Thanks
