Re: [docbook-apps] Having chapter titles with numbers and figureswithout chapter prefix

[Juha Mustonen <juha.mustonen@iki.fi>]

Hi,
I've been using xsltproc for processing. 

And when it comes to 'initial.page.number' template, it seems that I 
misunderstood the usage of it. I expected it work as simply as setting

<xsl:template name="initial.page.number">12</xsl:template> 

..and end up having page number 12 begin of each chapter. But after having 
look on the fo/pagesetup.xsl, I noticed that it does not go as easy as that. 
Changing the defaults (1) did work. Maybe there should be initial.page.number 
parameter for changing that value?

Anyway, I do know now how to make all the needed customizations :)


Regards,
Juha
