Working with fo:page-number & fo:page-number-citation as variables

[Roges Grandi <ro...@intra.procergs.com.br>]

Hello

I'm trying ti transform fo:page-number & fo:page-number-citation to variables so
I can easily  mask them.

In order to do it I'm trying this:

      <xsl:variable name="this-page">
              <fo:page-number/>
      </xsl:variable>

      <xsl:variable name="last-page">
              <fo:page-number-citation ref-id="end-of-document"/>
      </xsl:variable>

      <xsl:value-of select="format-number($this-page, '000')"/>

      <xsl:value-of select="format-number($last-page, '000')"/>


But FOP does not attribute fo:page-number/fo:page-number-citation to
this-page/last-page respectively. When we check the variables values they are
empty because fo:page-number/page-number-citation are not captured.

If anyone have a clue...

Hi, Roges

The main problem is that the XSLT processor does its thing first; neither of 
the FO's will evaluate to anything at that point because no FO formatting 
has happened yet.
