page x of y
hi,
when i was looking for a solution on that one in the archive
i found a solution from J.Pietschmann with some kind of a function.
But as far as i understand, the document is rendered 2 times,
this means the process takes double time, right? ( or is at least
longer... )
Is there really no simpler way? a faster one?
And if not, how and where in my document do i place this "function"?
thanks again,
sascha

Actually FOP is rather loose with markers. It complains mightily when
you don't follow the standard but then, processes things anyway. This
behavior is the work-around for the first-including-carryover problem.
To enable that attribute value, you need to place the marker as the
"last" value in the block. Here's a link to some sample code

One thing to keep in mind with markers - they must be the _first_ children
of an FO (that supports them). I can't recall how rigid we are with respect
to enforcing this, but it's possible that if you prettify your FO, and there
is a newline (unsuppressed) between the block start tag and the marker start
tag, that this will be rejected.

This seems to be exactly the solution for what I was struggling about.
For the page numbering problem, it might be a little more difficult,
however. I will definitely have a look in the stated directory.

This is fixed in CVS maintenance branch, you cen now get markers
from other pages (well, with some caveats, best to put a page-number
citation with a non-existent ref-id on the first page).

Re: Numbering of pages
Posted by Pierre-Yves Chauveau <pi...@manpower.fr>.
The current implementation can only get markers from the same page, so that
might a problem. The best way (I think) is to do a different page-sequence
for each mail. Therefore, there is going to be different page numbers for
each mail. You will be able also to render a different header/footer for
each page sequence(mail).
Hope it 'll help.
Ex:
<fo:layout-master-set>
<fo:simple-page-master master-name="all" page-height="297mm"
page-width="210mm" margin-top="10mm" margin-bottom="10mm" margin-left="10mm"
margin-right="10mm">
<fo:region-body margin-top="20mm" margin-bottom="15mm"/>
<fo:region-before extent="25mm"/>
<fo:region-after extent="10mm"/>
</fo:simple-page-master>
</fo:layout-master-set>
<xsl:for-each select="mail">
<fo:page-sequence master-reference="all" format="1"
initial-page-number="1">
<!-- zone d'en-tête -->
<fo:static-content flow-name="xsl-region-before">
<!-- A passer en table car inline n'accepte pas les text-align-->
<fo:block text-align="center" font-size="26pt" font-family="serif"
font-weight="bold">
<xsl:value-of-select ="address"/> </fo:block>
</fo:static-content>
<!-- zone de bas de page-->
<fo:static-content flow-name="xsl-region-after">
<fo:block font-size="10pt" font-family="serif" line-height="1em +
2pt"> page <fo:page-number/>
</fo:static-content>
<fo:flow flow-name="xsl-region-body">
<fo:block break-before="page">
<xsl:apply-templates select="."/>
</fo:block>
</fo:flow>
</fo:page-sequence>
</xsl:for-each>

Look in docs/examples/markers/.
In the flow you specify a marker in side a block. The static region can
then retrieve a marker. If there is a marker specified on the page (with
appropraite class) then the contents of the marker are placed in the
static region.

Both of these problems sound like they could be done with markers.

I have been struggling with a somehow similar question, and I believe
the answer must be related.
My question is:
How can one include in the header or footer some non-strictly-static
information.
In your case, for example, that would mean including the sender and
recipient of the e-mail in the header of footer. I am assuming that you
start your e-mails at the beginning of a page, but I don't think this
affects the whole issue.
I think that the solution must be somehow close to getting different
{simple|repeatable}-page-master, and using them somehow in the page
sequence. The actual question is: HOW?

Numbering of pages
Posted by MARTIN Franck <fr...@c-s.fr>.
Hi all,
I have a long xml document which should generate a 100-page pdf document.
This document contains mails to various receipiants.
Those mails are made of several pages which should be numbered individually.
Does anyone have an idea for numbering properly the whole document?
Thanks

There are no problems beside increased memory consumption.
Which can be *the* problem, of course.

Yes, I also saw that but somebody said that would result in any kind of
problems.
But i will try it and see if it works with my documents.

i do not know what solution you mean... perhaps this can help you:
to get page x of y you simply have to name an element that will be placed on
the last page like that:
<fo:table-cell id="endofdoc">
now you can access its pagenumber everywhere in the document. example:
page <fo:page-number/> of <fo:page-number-citation ref-id="endofdoc"/>
