FOP 0.91 beta not rendering blank pages
I routinely use FOP 0.20.5 in conjunction with DocBook stylesheets
(version 1.66.1) to create PDF documents, and recently started
experimenting with FOP 0.91 beta with the same Docbook tool set. Using
FOP 0.91 beta, blank pages don't seem to render (to get a new
page-sequence to start on an odd page), although they render fine using
FOP 0.20.5.
I've looked at the FOP Compliance web page and compared the support for
pagination and payout properties for the two releases, and they seem to
be the same for the relevant properties (force-page-count is not
supported on either FOP 0.2.0.5 or FOP 0.91 beta, and
initial-page-number is supported on both). Using the DocBook
stylesheets, I set initial-page-number=auto-odd, and tried setting
force-page-count to end-on-even, auto, and even. In none of these cases
were blank pages created using FOP 0.91 beta. When a page sequence ends
on an odd page, the next even page is skipped and the following
page-sequence starts on an odd page.
Is there an inherent difference between FOP 0,205 and FOP 0.91 beta
that would explain the difference in the rendering of blank pages, or is
there another FO parameter that would explain the difference in the output?

I don't see a problem with the initial-page-number property because each
chapter in my rendered doc starts on an odd page like it's supposed to,
although the prior even (blank) page is missing. If the force-page-count
property is now enabled in the latest FOP trunk, it sounds like I'll be
in business once I get the updated software - thanks!

Preliminary results: We don't test initial-page-number for "auto-odd"
and "auto-even" in our test suite. :-( There may be something wrong
there. Will have to look closer. The good news for you is that your
document works and produces 12 pages with the latest FOP Trunk (directly
from Subversion) as Gerhard Oettl recently submitted a patch that
enabled force-page-count. So, initial-page-number may still have a bug
but at least your document should work.

Hi Jeremias,
I've attached the XSL-FO file generated from a test book with three
chapters, each less than one page long, so each chapter should include a
blank page at the end. The DocBook stylesheets used to create this file
are version 1.66.1, including some customizations to the headers and
footers, as well as double.sided=1.
The XSL-FO file processes completely (without the blank pages) using FOP
0.91 beta, but hangs on FOP 0.205. I haven't been able to create an
XSL-FO file using the DocBook stylesheets that processes completely in
both FOP 0.205 and FOP 0.91 beta.

Although the code has changed a lot between 0.20.5 and 0.91, the outcome
should still be the same. We have automated tests which should assert
the quality of that feature but maybe the DocBook stylesheets triggered
a bug we don't know about. Would you please prepare a small example that
shows the problem and submit the generated XSL-FO file (not the DocBook
sources)? We can then further investigate.
