Re: Page Numbering wooes (FOP to PDF)

[David L <dl...@mrv.com>]

Hi all,

I also had Nancy's issues below, and replies didn't seem to address the
numbering.
This is my first month with DocBook, so my compromise may not be elegant.
The key to my compromise is the $pageclass exclusion tests.

I haven't succeeded with applying Roman numerals consistently to the opening
pages (DocBook bugs?), so I opted to remove all page numbering through the
TOC and begin with continuous Arabic numbering thereafter.  I do not yet use
appendices. My numbering is in the footer center, but the code should be
transferable. I hope I've not skipped some other relevant lines. Placing the
number in the center is also sort of a 'cheat' for my double-sided format,
but my left/right entries behave well unless I try to suppress blank pages.
Suppressing these blanks with force.page.count removes the page but the page
sequence skips the number from the unprinted page and my headers and footers
reverse sides! GRRR!

    <xsl:param name="initial.page.number">1</xsl:param>  <!-- top of fo.xsl
-->

<!--within header or footer template -->
        <xsl:when test="$position='center' and $pageclass!='titlepage' and
$pageclass!='lot'">
          <fo:page-number/>
        </xsl:when>

I'd love to hear if this post helps anyone, or if I'm missing some curse
still beyond my experience and horizon.
