Re: [docbook-apps] Incorrect page sequence for TOC/Lot and prefacepages withdouble-sided output

Thanks Bob - the code worked. I still have a problem with needing to end the lot on an even page, and to also get the following preface to end on even.

Here is the relevant code:

 

<xsl:template name="user.pagemasters">
    <!-- Front and back covers. NOTE: may need to adjust margins
      to position image on page -->
    <fo:simple-page-master master-name="front-cover"
      page-width="{$page.width}"
      page-height="{$page.height}"
      margin-top="-10pt"
      margin-bottom="0pt"
      margin-left="0pt"
      margin-right="0pt">
      <fo:region-body
        margin-top="0pt"
        margin-bottom="0pt"
        margin-left="0pt"
        margin-right="0pt"/>
    </fo:simple-page-master>
   
    <fo:simple-page-master master-name="back-cover"
      page-width="{$page.width}"
      page-height="{$page.height}"
      margin-top="0pt"
      margin-bottom="0pt"
      margin-left="0pt"
      margin-right="0pt">
      <fo:region-body
        margin-top="-10pt"
        margin-bottom="0pt"
        margin-left="0pt"
        margin-right="0pt"/>
    </fo:simple-page-master>
   
    <!--3. set odd and even page masters for LOTs-->
    <!-- setup for lots -->
    <fo:page-sequence-master master-name="listoftitles">
      <fo:repeatable-page-master-alternatives>
        <fo:conditional-page-master-reference master-reference="blank"
          blank-or-not-blank="blank"/>
        <fo:conditional-page-master-reference master-reference="lot-odd"
          odd-or-even="odd"/>
        <fo:conditional-page-master-reference
          odd-or-even="even">
          <xsl:attribute name="master-reference">
            <xsl:choose>
              <xsl:when test="$double.sided != 0">lot-even</xsl:when>
              <xsl:otherwise>lot-odd</xsl:otherwise>
            </xsl:choose>
          </xsl:attribute>
        </fo:conditional-page-master-reference>
      </fo:repeatable-page-master-alternatives>
    </fo:page-sequence-master>
  </xsl:template>
 
  <!--4. select new pagemaster name for LOTs-->
  <xsl:template name="select.user.pagemaster">
    <xsl:param name="element"/>
    <xsl:param name="pageclass"/>
    <xsl:param name="default-pagemaster"/>
    <!-- Return my customized title page master name if for titlepage,
      otherwise return the default -->
    <xsl:choose>
      <xsl:when test="$default-pagemaster = 'lot'">
        <xsl:value-of select="'listoftitles'" />
      </xsl:when>
      <xsl:otherwise>
        <xsl:value-of select="$default-pagemaster"/>
      </xsl:otherwise>
    </xsl:choose>
  </xsl:template>
 

Can I insert a blank page if the lot finishes on an odd page?

 

Thanks again,

Dave Gardiner
