Re: [docbook-apps] page numbering...

David,

As pointed out by someone on this list I use the following :-

Somewhere in the customization layer

<!-- Define a processing instruction to reference the last page in a 
document.
This is used in the footer to display the total number of pages.
-->
<xsl:template match="processing-instruction()[local-name()='lastpage']">
<fo:block id="lastpage"/>
</xsl:template>

and in the footer customization

<xsl:when test="$double.sided = 0 and $position='center'">
<xsl:text>Page&#160;</xsl:text>
<fo:page-number/>
<xsl:text>&#160;of&#160;</xsl:text>
<fo:page-number-citation ref-id="lastpage"/>
</xsl:when>

and just before the last element in the source enter the following 
processing instruction.

<?lastpage?>

I also have the following in my fo customization which you may find useful

<!-- Define a processing instruction to force a new page -->
<xsl:template match="processing-instruction()[local-name()='pagebreak']">
<fo:block break-before ='page'/>
</xsl:template>

<!-- Define a processing instruction to force a new line.
-->
<xsl:template match="processing-instruction()[local-name()='br']">
<fo:block/>
</xsl:template>

The last 2 I also use my xhtml customization to add an <hr/> and a <br/> 
respectively

Hope this helps.

Regards
Simon Kennedy
