Re: [docbook-apps] Footer on first page

["Bob Stayton" <bobs@sagehill.net>]

The content of the footers is controlled by the footer.content template,
which is in fo/pagesetup.xsl.  It checks various conditions to determine
what to output in each position (left, center, right).  Something like this
turns off the header. If you put this near the top of the xsl:choose
statement in your copy of footer.content, you won't get any footer content
on the first page of each page-sequence.

      <xsl:when test="$sequence = 'first'">
        <!-- nothing for first pages -->
      </xsl:when>

However, if you have the footer rule line showing, it won't be controlled by
this.  You will have to turn it off in the footer.table template instead,
which is in the same stylesheet  file.
