Resetting page counts in fop
I'm generating a single PDF that contains multiple invoices. The invoices
each have a separate page count. I want the page counts on each invoice in
the PDF to be relative to only itself.
IE the 3rd invoice has 2 pages so should show page 1 of 2 and 2 of 2
in their headers.
Is there an easy way of doing this? Using position() to dynamically create
an fo:block that has the position() as part of the id to uniquely handle the
last page. But I'm not sure how to get the relative current page.
Any ideas appreciated,
Thanks,

Yes, but it's initial-page-number, not "start-count". The split into
multiple page-sequences helps you with memory-consumption as a nice
side-effect. :-)

You can use initial-page-number="1" on every fo:page-sequence. Your
intuition about using position() to generate unique ids is good. HTH

What about marker and marker-retriver?
I'm still a beginner with fo, but I believe you could use them to
keep record of the current invoice page and reset it to 1 each
time a new invoice starts and then increment at every invoice page.
Hope that helps.
