Subject: Re: [docbook] Question to cutomization of docbook-xsl
I got a reply back from the XEP mailing list about this problem. It turns out that the default value for the force-page-count property is "auto". According to the XSL-FO spec 7.25.6: "Force it to be an even-page if the initial-page-number of the next page sequence is odd." So the preface page sequence was forcing the extra page because the following chapter page sequence had initial-page-number="1". The solution is to add force-page-count="no-force" to the preface page sequence when double-sided output is turned off. I just checked in this change to fo/component.xsl. I'll see if other templates need such a change as well.
