Hi Troy,
Page numbering can be restarted only at the start
of an fo:page-sequence, not within an fo:page-sequence. Your chapter
title pages and the rest of the chapter are in the same fo:page-sequence,
so there is no way to restart page numbering on the third page of the
sequence (setting a negative starting number doesn't work, darn
it).
So you need to create a chapter customization that
puts the titlepage into a separate fo:page-sequence. I'm not sure how much
help you need with that, but here are some hints.
Customize the template with match="chapter" from
fo/component.xsl. Find the block containing "chapter.titlepage" and move
it up to before the existing fo:page-sequence. That will leave the
original sequence with just the chapter content, and you can set its initial
page number to 1.
Then wrap the chapter.titlepage block in a call to
the template named "page.sequence". There is an example of doing it with
article in my book:
That will put the titlepages into their own
page-sequence.

Subject: [docbook-apps] start chapter
numbering
Hello,
I’m looking for a way to prevent
page numbering on my chapter titlepages.
My current stylesheet
customization produces a front and back page for the titlepage and starts the
content on the third page. Although I’m able to prevent the page number
from showing on the front and back of the titlepage, they are still
counted. The third page is numbered “3”. I’d like it to start with
the number 1 on the third page.
I’m using page number prefixes,
ie: Chapter 1-1, Chapter 2-1, etc…
Seems like there should be a
simple customization to handle this – does anybody
know?
Thanks in
advance,
Troy L.
