Subject: Re: [docbook-apps] How to remove blank pages between chapters using FOP
Hi Bob, Thank you for reminding me of the double.sided parameter. I set that back to zero, and that eliminated all of the extra blank pages. When I tried to customize the 'initial.page.number' template, the result was either the page number of chapter one was set to 14 or, nothing. This is strange. So let's take a different approach: with the double.sided parameter set to zero, how do I force the first chapter to start on an odd page? Thanks, Ken --- Bob Stayton <bobs@sagehill.net> wrote: > Hi Ken, > One way to do it is to set the stylesheet parameter double.sided to zero, > which is the default value.
