Re: [docbook-apps] Different style on even/odd page in PDF

[Frank Arensmeier <farensmeier@gmail.com>]

Hi Dick!

That was my suspicion already. I know that the header / footer use a parameter called "sequence" which denotes the page type (odd, even or blank). But, as you already pointed out, because titles (at least none-devision titles) are part of the content flow, you really cannot say where the titles are placed since this is known only at rending time. So even if it were possible to get that sequence parameter, it would be useless.

It’s a shame.
