Skipping page numbers on cover sheets
Hi,
I want to add a front cover sheet to a document. The document
is two-sided, consisting of multiple chapters (each being a
page-sequence) with the page number in the header.
My problem, is that when I add the cover, it is treated as
pages one and two (I want the first 'real' page to start on
the right, so I insert a blank page after the cover). This
means that the first chapter starts at page 3, when I want it
to start at page 1.
Is there a way to force the first chapter to be page 1?
I've tried setting initial-page-number="-1" for the front
cover, but that didn't work (I'm not that surprised).
I can't think of a way of setting the first chapter to start on
page one, without either all chapters starting on page 1, or
duplicating the page-sequence definition for each chapter type
for the situation where it's the first chapter - since the
initial-page-number is an attribute to fo:page-sequence, I can't
stick it into an <if>.
My template is here:
http://yagsbook.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/yagsbook/trunk/xml/xslt/pdf/yagsbook.xsl?revision=78&view=markup
I add the cover at line 349,
I match each chapter at line 399.

That's the bit I was missing. I didn't know you could stick in "auto"
as a value. I've now got it working correctly.
Thanks.

Hi Samuel,
Its difficult to see what your xslt is outputting to FO without an input
file. You should provide a small FO file that demonstrates the issue your
having. If you post an FO file, I'll gladly take a look.

If I understand what you are saying, for every chapter you use a new
page-sequence.
Then, all you have to do is set initial-page-number="1"in the first
chapter, and set initial-page-number="auto" in the remaining chapters.

That's what I'm doing at the moment. However, each chapter has it's
own page-sequence (there are different formats for chapters, depending
on whether it's two column or single column layout for that chapter).
I need only the first chapter to have initial-page-number="1".
Can page sequences be nested?
Or can I change the format of pages without starting a new page sequence?

Hi,
Simply put your cover in its own page-sequence. Your chapter page-sequence
should then be set to initial-page-number="1".
