conditional-page-master-reference and last()

[Lo...@log-net.com]

I have a layout such that:

<fo:page-sequence-master master-name="mainSequence">
      <fo:repeatable-page-master-alternatives>
            <fo:conditional-page-master-reference page-position="first"
master-reference="firstPage"/>
            <fo:conditional-page-master-reference page-position="rest"
master-reference="otherPage"/>
      </fo:repeatable-page-master-alternatives>
</fo:page-sequence-master>

I need to put a footer on each page that either indicates that it is or is
not the last page of the entire printed document.  Usually, when I have a
repeatable-page-master-reference, I just use code like:

<xsl:choose>
      <xsl:when test="position() = last()">
            END OF ORDER
      </xsl:when>
      <xsl:otherwise>
            CONTINUED ON FOLLOWING PAGE
      </xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>

However, last() seems to be giving me my position within the reference.
For example, say I have two pages, each one is a different layout using
different static contents.  On both pages, last() is equal to position().

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,
Lou

Louis,

I beleive it is not implemented in FOP.
Use fo:marker instead for this instead, there are plenty of examples in 
the list archive and your fop/examples directory, sorry don't have time 
to dig them up right now.

Cheers,
Roland

Hi, Lou,

last() is working correctly (getting the last node in a node set), but 
that's not much comfort.

My only thought on this one is to apply last() to the union of the two 
page sets. Unfortunately, I don't have time to generate a test case and 
fiddle with it. Maybe you can use the idea, though.
