Re: [docbook-apps] term at the right of listitem for recto pages

["Bob Stayton" <bobs@sagehill.net>]

Hi,
This cannot be done with a fo:list-block.  The basic problem is that the 
page breaks are determined by the XSL-FO processor, after the DocBook 
stylesheet has completed its work.  DocBook stylesheet has no knowledge of 
where the page breaks are, and hence whether a given list is on a recto or 
verso page.

The only way I know to place content on the outside of alternating pages is 
to use an fo:float and use one of the XSL-FO processors that support an 
extension for specifying an "outside" float (XEP or Antenna House).   Using 
a float, the paragraph would be in the main flow, and the term would be in a 
float embedded at the start of the fo:block containing the paragraph.  See 
this reference for more information:
