Setting the page-number

Hi folks,

i've got the following problem:

Is there a way to set the current page-number within a page-sequence? I'm 
looking for something like that "<fo:page-number current-page='1'/>....

Details:

A RTF-document with placeholders (introduced by a escape-character, e.g. 
"~") is converted to FO using rtf2fo (http://www.novosoft-us.com/ns2b.nsf/w1/RTF2FO). After that i search in the FO-File for placeholders and replace them.

Example:
        RTF: ....Dear Mr. ~mister....
        FO: .....<fo:inline>....Dear Mr. ~mister....</fo:inline>.....

So i have a special placeholder "~page", which is replaced by 
"<fo:page-number/>"  (occours in footer). The RTF-document consist of 2 or 
more chapters and every chapter should start with page-number 1. At the 
begin of a chapter there is a placeholder "~reset-page-count"... and 
therefore i need a fo-tag.

Hi,

you can begin a new page count by starting a new page-sequence and setting the property initial-page-number="1".
