Re: Working with fo:page-number & fo:page-number-citation as
variables
Hi Arved
Thanks for your reply, what we need here is to format (mask) page-numbers , what
may be a common need for many users. Out of your knowledge & experience in
XSLT/FOP do you guess it would be too hard or even impossible to program it?

Hi, Roges
The main problem is that the XSLT processor does its thing first; neither of
the FO's will evaluate to anything at that point because no FO formatting
has happened yet.

I haven't messed about with number formatting in FOP, just in XSLT, but what
you're looking to do would be accomplished with the "format" attribute on the
fo:page-sequence; this is described in the XSLT spec.
