Yes. Each has its own page-sequence. The force.page.count template is called for
each lot page-sequence with master-reference set to 'lot'. So that template needs to
know how to detect the last lot for your purposes. That turns out to be a bit tricky.
You cannot use an XPath expression, because these lots are not in the document but are
auto generated by the stylesheet.
In the template named 'make.book.tocs' in fo/division.xsl, there is a test for each
lot that looks like this:
<xsl:if test="contains($toc.params,'figure') and .//figure">
<xsl:call-template name="page.sequence">
...
The $toc.params variable is populated from the 'generate.toc' param that specifies
which lots to include. The first part of this test checks to see if 'figure' is to be
included. The second part tests to see if there are any figures in the document. It
generates a page-sequence only if both cases are true.
Unfortunately, the force.page.count template does not get passed the name of the
current lot, only the generic master-reference 'lot'. The context element is 'book',
so that doesn't help either. So that template does not know which lot it is dealing
with, so it could not run that test.
I would suggest instead customizing the 'make.book.tocs' template to generate a single
page-sequence for all your toc and lots, and then let force.page.count specify 'force'
for 'lot'. To do a single page-sequence, you would structure the template like this:
...
<xsl:call-template name="page.sequence">
<xsl:with-param name="master-reference" select="$lot-master-reference"/>
<xsl:with-param name="element" select="'toc'"/>
<xsl:with-param name="gentext-key" select="'TableofContents'"/>
<xsl:with-param name="content">
<!-- This is where you put all of the toc and lots -->
<xsl:call-template name="division.toc">
<xsl:with-param name="toc.title.p" select="contains($toc.params, 'title')"/>
</xsl:call-template>
<xsl:if test="contains($toc.params,'figure') and .//figure">
<xsl:call-template name="list.of.titles">
<xsl:with-param name="titles" select="'figure'"/>
<xsl:with-param name="nodes" select=".//figure"/>
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:if>
<!-- and repeat for table, example, and equation -->
</xsl:call-template>
This is untested, so you may need to insert a forced page-break between lots, because
the list.of.titles templates assumes each will have its own page-sequence and does not
do that:
<fo:block break-after="page"/>

Bob,
In one of your posts dated Mar 26, 2009 (Re: [docbook-apps] how to omit blank pages in
the front matter?) you stated:
“The preface, toc, and each of the "List Of" are in their own page sequence”
Does that mean for the LOTs, the page sequences for the list of figures, list of
tables etc can be handled separately? Looking at my customised xsl:template
name="force.page.count", I can only see that the LOT is handled as one
master-reference:
<xsl:template name="force.page.count">
<xsl:param name="element" select="local-name(.)"/>
<xsl:param name="master-reference" select="''"/>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when
test="starts-with($master-reference,'listoftitles')">no-force</xsl:when>
<!-- no-force -->
<xsl:when
test="starts-with($master-reference,'front')">end-on-even</xsl:when> <!--
no-force -->
<xsl:when test="$element = 'preface'">end-on-even</xsl:when>
<!-- double-sided output -->
<xsl:when test="$double.sided != 0">end-on-even</xsl:when> <!-- end-on-even -->
<!-- single-sided output -->
<xsl:otherwise>no-force</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>
So, if you delete blank pages in the LOTs by using “no-force”, does that delete all
blank pages from each “List of” in the LOTs? And therefore you cannot force the last
LOT to end on even? (because that’s what I need). How can I customise a different
force.page.count for the last LOT to be end-on-even? I’ve attached the output to show
that I need the Preface to start on an odd page.
Thanks,
Dave

Hi Dave,
Now I'm a bit confused. I thought the goal stated in your earlier mail was to
eliminate any blank pages for those elements. That's why you were changing 'force' to
'no-force'. Can you clarify the sequence that you would like to see, and what you are
actually getting?

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
