Hi Troy,
Page numbering can be restarted only at the start
of an fo:page-sequence, not within an fo:page-sequence. Your chapter
title pages and the rest of the chapter are in the same fo:page-sequence,
so there is no way to restart page numbering on the third page of the
sequence (setting a negative starting number doesn't work, darn
it).
So you need to create a chapter customization that
puts the titlepage into a separate fo:page-sequence. I'm not sure how much
help you need with that, but here are some hints.
Customize the template with match="chapter" from
fo/component.xsl. Find the block containing "chapter.titlepage" and move
it up to before the existing fo:page-sequence. That will leave the
original sequence with just the chapter content, and you can set its initial
page number to 1.
Then wrap the chapter.titlepage block in a call to
the template named "page.sequence". There is an example of doing it with
article in my book:
That will put the titlepages into their own
page-sequence.

Subject: [docbook-apps] start chapter
numbering
Hello,
I�m looking for a way to prevent
page numbering on my chapter titlepages.
My current stylesheet
customization produces a front and back page for the titlepage and starts the
content on the third page. Although I�m able to prevent the page number
from showing on the front and back of the titlepage, they are still
counted. The third page is numbered �3�. I�d like it to start with
the number 1 on the third page.
I�m using page number prefixes,
ie: Chapter 1-1, Chapter 2-1, etc�
Seems like there should be a
simple customization to handle this � does anybody
know?
Thanks in
advance,
Troy L.
