Hi David,

Take a look at the template named 'force.page.count' in fo/pagesetup.xsl.  That's the one that forces the end-on-even which generates the blank pages.  Set them all to 'no-force'.

Subject: [docbook-apps] initial.page.number bug?

Hello everyone,

 

I have the following format in my <book>:

<book>

<preface/>

<preface/>

<chapter/>

</book>

 

I want the page numbering to start at "1" with the first <preface>.

 

However, I have <xsl:param name="double.sided">1</xsl:param> set in order to maintain the flip-flop margin layouts, and as a result I get blank pages after EVERY  <preface>.

I would like the numbering to start at 1 and continue through the book w/o extra blank pages while still maintaining double.sided=1 if possible.

 

Here is my initial.page.number  template:

 

<xsl:template name="initial.page.number">

<xsl:param name="element" select="local-name(.)"/>

<xsl:param name="master-reference" select="''"/>

<!-- double-sided output -->

<xsl:choose>

<xsl:when test="$double.sided != 0">

<xsl:choose>

<xsl:when test="$element = 'preface' and not(preceding::preface)">1</xsl:when>

<xsl:otherwise>auto-odd</xsl:otherwise>

</xsl:choose>

</xsl:when>

</xsl:choose>

</xsl:template>

 

Any suggestions?
