RE: [docbook-apps] Force TOC and Chapter 1 on odd pages with $double.sided=0

["Jerry Janofsky" <JanofskyJ@comcast.net>]

Keith,

Thanks for this information, however, doesn't the "initial.page.number"
template just affect the actual page numbers but not the placement of the
pages themselves?

Another way to word my issue is this:

My title page will always be the first "right side" page. My table of
contents needs to begin on the next "right side page". If my title page is a
single page, then a blank will need to be inserted after the title page to
make this happen. The same is true for a single page table of contents so
that the fist page of chapter 1 also begins on a "right side page". Beyond
that, all the rest of the chapters should be should just come consecutively,
without any blank pages, as if it was a single sided document.

I know it is sounds rather non-standard, but many of my "Chapter" elements
only contain "mediaobjects". When the document is printed, I need the
resulting mediaobjects to just run consecutively. Without any chapter
interruptions.

Here's how I do it, by rewriting the initial-page-number template:
[look for the 'toc' line]
 <xsl:template name="initial.page.number">
   <xsl:param name="element" select="local-name(.)"/>
   <xsl:param name="master-reference" select="''"/>
   <xsl:choose>
     <!-- double-sided output -->
     <xsl:when test="$double.sided != 0">
       <xsl:choose>
         <xsl:when test="$element = 'toc'">5</xsl:when>
         <xsl:when test="$element = 'book'">1</xsl:when>
         <xsl:when test="$element = 'preface'">auto-odd</xsl:when>
         <xsl:when test="$element = 'part'
                         and not(preceding::chapter)
                         and not(preceding::part)">1</xsl:when>
         <xsl:when test="($element = 'dedication' or $element = 'article')
                         and not(preceding::chapter
                         or preceding::preface
                         or preceding::appendix
                         or preceding::article
                         or preceding::dedication
                         or parent::part
                         or parent::reference)">1</xsl:when>
         <xsl:when test="($element = 'chapter' or $element = 'appendix')
                         and not(preceding::chapter
