Re: [docbook-apps] forcing toc to start with specific page number on fo

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

Hi Doris,
I don't see an easy solution for this.  The 'initial.page.number' template only 
accepts two template params, and neither of them distinguish between a table of 
contents and a list of tables etc.  I would suggest that blank pages are the way to 
go, or perhaps an empty element such as acknowledgements or dedication that takes up 
the space.

Subject: [docbook-apps] forcing toc to start with specific page number on fo


Hi, I'm using fop to transform docbook xml to pdf. What I have is a book with table of 
contents and some tables and figures. I'm trying to force the table of contents page 
to start with page number 'v' (currently the output starts with iii). What I've done 
so far is customize the "initial.page.number" template and put

<xsl:when test="$element = 'toc'">5</xsl:when>

instead of "auto"

This gives me 'v' as the page number on table of contents, but the list of tables page 
and list of figures that comes after it is also 'v'. Should I be customization 
something else, or maybe force insert some blank pages before toc to get it to count 
to the page number I want?

Thanks,
Doris
