Subject: Re: [docbook-apps] Content on back cover of print output
There isn't a backcover template for you to fill in (it would make a nice feature request, though). One way to do it is to customize the template with match="book" in fo/division.xsl. Near the end, you add something like: <xsl:template match="book"> ... <xsl:apply-templates select="$content"/> <!-- Add the following line --> <xsl:call-template name="backpage"/> </xsl:template> It is too bad that is such a big template. It really needs to be modularized to make customization like this easier. That's on my list. Then define a template named "backpage" that generates a new page-sequence for your back cover content. That fo:page-sequence element should include: initial-page-number="auto-even" to ensure that the content starts on an even-numbered (back) page. It should only contain one page of content. If your book content normally ends on an odd page, you might want to prevent it from generating a blank even page. To do that, you need to set force-page-count="no-force" on the page-sequence preceding the back cover. You do that by customizing the force.page.count template from fo/pagesetup.xsl to add another condition for your last child element of your book. Let me know if you need further expansion on any of this.
