Subject: Re: [docbook] Omit blank pages after chapter and appendix in double sided output
I have a
customization to eliminate blank pages between chapters, which
requires a
custom page sequence, based on Bob's post of 5 April 2012. I have a
variable “chaptersonrecto” - set to "1" to start chapters on a
recto
page, set to "0" to start chapters on any page. Then in
template name="user.pagemasters" (in pagesetup.xsl) I have this
coding for custom pages in the “body” page sequence – so
whenever you set “chaptersonrecto”
to “0”, this page sequence is selected for processing, otherwise
it uses the
standard page sequence for “body”: <xsl:if
test="$chaptersonrecto = 0"> Then in xsl:template
name="select.user.pagemaster" I select that new page sequence
where the
“body” page sequence is replaced with “bodycustom”, with: <xsl:when
test="$default-pagemaster = 'body'"> Then in xsl:template
name="force.page.count" I set whether chapter pages end on even or
on any page (I
have a more complex selection in the <xsl:when test>
statement that forces
the last chapter (before the appendices) to always end on even,
and which
includes part pages): <xsl:when
test="starts-with($master-reference,'bodycustom')"> Finally,
I need to add “bodycustom” in various places in the templates
header.content and
footer.content so headers and footers appear correctly whenever
the custom body
page sequence is selected. This
could be adapted for the page class “back” which contains
appendices.

So far, I have studied posts like https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/docbook-apps/200903/msg00168.html and http://www.mail-archive.com/docbook-apps@lists.oasis-open.org/msg09285.html, but whatever I try, right pages turn into left pages, pages skip numbering. Does anybody knows a good way in order to do this... basically in creating a book, double sided without any blank page after chapters or appendixes? I have a book with over 30 appendixes, so blank pages are not appreciated (from a environmental perspective). Help is much appreciated. Best regards, Marit |
