Re: [docbook-apps] adding a footer only to last page

Hi Robert,

The general instructions for customizing headers and footers can be found here:

 

http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/PrintHeaders.html

 

The footer.content template is a big xsl:choose statement that sets conditions for which pages have which output.  In your case, each article generates a page-sequence, so that is the context when the template is called. The xsl:when statement might look something like this:

 

<xsl:when test="self::d:article and ($sequence = 'last' or $sequence = 'blank')">

 

You would need the 'blank' condition if you are doing double-sided output that may generate a blank page as the last page at the end of an article.

To simplify the problem. Let's only consider the case when there is a book with a number of articles, and the footer must only be added to the last page of each article.

Hi All,

I have two somehow similar problems. Both relate to printed output.

1. I have a book with a number of articles and want to have a footer
only on the last page of each article and the last page of the whole
book.
2. Similarly, I have a set of books, and want to have a footer only on
the last page of each book.

Have can I do it?

Thanks,
Robert
