Changing page numbers into their Dingbat counterparts
Hi guys,
I am using FOP 0.94.
My current hot issue is changing the page number format. I would like to
change the regular numbers to their Dingbat counterparts. For example, I
would like to change 1 to this number in a white/black circle, which is in
Unicode is &x#2780;. So I've customized the Docbook template as follows:
<xsl:template name="page.number.format">
<xsl:param name="element" select="local-name(.)"/>
<xsl:param name="master-reference" select="''"/>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="$element = 'toc' and self::book">i</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="$element = 'preface'">i</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="$element = 'dedication'">i</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>&x#2780;</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>
But it does not work. Does FOP support the Dingbat numbers?
Thank you a lot in advance!
Best wishes,
Nancy

Hi,
thank you for your response! I appreciate it very much! So the only way to
achieve that is to place a background image under a number ;-).
My best regards,
Nancy

Checked a little closer in the meantime, and the story is that FOP
appears to be not 100% compliant where it comes to the 'format'
property (which I presume is being set by the posted Docbook source).
So our compliance page needs a little update to reflect this (unless
somebody figures out the fix for this real soon).
I'll see if I can take care of that one of these days.

Sorry, that will not work after all, since the first page-number will
be the sequence 1-1-0-3, which will be rendered as four separate
glyphs...

That is expected behavior.
What you're telling FOP to do here is:
- generate a page-number character, say '4', or U+0004
- render that character in the Zapf Dingbats font
Looking at the glyph catalog for this font, for page-numbers 4 to 7,
you would get scissors.
For the page-numbers 0 to 3, you should get '#', since there are no
glyphs in this font. For 8 you will get BLACK TELEPHONE, etc.
Am I correct in assuming that you actually want the CIRCLED DIGIT ONE
(= U+1103) up to CIRCLED NUMBER TEN (U+1202)? In that case, the only
way I can think of to achieve the desired effect, is to force the
initial-page-number property of the page-sequence to 1103. Obviously,
this will only work for page-sequences guaranteed to have less than
ten pages. Not sure how to customize docbook to set that property,
though...
HTH!
Cheers
Andreas

Hello my friends,
I did it as you described, defined the page number as:
<fo:wrapper font-family="ZapfDingbats"><fo:page-number/></fo:wrapper>
But unfortunately, instead of a number, a scissors symbol appears. Any
ideas, guys?
Thanks in advance!
