There is a special template in fo/component.xsl with match="article/appendix" that processes the appendix as if it were a section. It doesn't start a new page-sequence. I think that is because the content model for article has appendix as a sibling of sect1, which differs from the book content model where appendix is a component (chapter, etc.). An article is processed in fo as a single page-sequence (its template starts and ends a page-sequence, with all its content in between). You would have to customize the article template as well as the article/appendix template to stop the article page sequence and start a new page sequence for appendix. You might be better off creating a book that contains an article and an appendix. Then the appendix will be treated as backmatter. -- Bob Stayton 400 Encinal Street Publications Architect Santa Cruz, CA 95060 Technical Publications voice: (831) 427-7796 Caldera International, Inc. fax: (831) 429-1887 email: bobs@caldera.com
