Supressing blank pages in double sided output

[Tavmjong Bah <ta...@free.fr>]

Hi,

	I am trying to suppress blank pages between chapters in DocBook source
processed by xsltproc. I am using a modified fo/pagesetup.xsl file
following the advise in

http://lists.ebxml.org/archives/docbook-apps/200604/msg00216.html

This inserts initial-page-number="auto" (instead of "auto-odd") for each
chapter after the first. Processing the fo file with fop-0.90alpha
doesn't produce unwanted blank pages but using fop-0.91beta or later
does produce the pages. Is this a problem with fop? Am I doing something
wrong? The input fo file is attached.

						Thanks,

						Tav

Looking at the FO each page-sequence has force-page-count="end-on-even" 
So FOP should add a blank page if there are an odd number of pages 
generated by the page-sequence. To avoid a blank page in this case the 
force-page-count property should be set to "no-force" I have no idea how 
to achieve this in docbook stylesheets.
