Re: [docbook-apps] Footer background color for pront output

Took me a while to get back to this.

Bob, I followed the documentation that you referred to, and added a background-color attribute to the fo:region-after elements. It doesn't seem to do a thing.

Here's the logic I put in to decide whether to use the default or the custom page-masters:

<xsl:template name="select.user.pagemaster">

<xsl:param name="element"/>

<xsl:param name="pageclass"/>

<xsl:param name="default-pagemaster"/>

<!-- Return my customized title page master name if for body,

otherwise return the default -->

<xsl:choose>

<xsl:when test="$default-pagemaster = 'body'">

<xsl:value-of select="'instart-body'" />

</xsl:when>

<xsl:otherwise>

<xsl:value-of select="$default-pagemaster"/>

</xsl:otherwise>

</xsl:choose>

</xsl:template>

I suspect I am not selecting my custom one properly and it's using the default - but I can't see why. Any ideas?

Hi Alan,

That area is defined by the fo:region-after in the fo:simple-page-masters in fo:pagesetup.xsl. There is no attribute-set for that region, but you can create your own custom page-masters, and add the background-color to that fo:region-after element. Customing page-masters is described here:

Subject: [docbook-apps] Footer background color for pront output

Hi,

I'm having some trouble trying to figure out how to set up my footer for print output to have its background color set. I can add it to the footer.content.properties attribute set, but that only sets the background color of the displayed text - kind of like in HTML setting the background color attribute for the text in a div rather than for the div itself. In other words, I want the entire lower 15% or so of the printed page to have a different background color than the rest of the page.

Any hints?

Thanks!
