Re: [docbook-apps] customising header/footer

[Tomas By <tomas@basun.net>]

Hi Bob,

Yes, there seem to be one of those custom page sequence thingies:

|<xsl:variable name="master-reference">
|    <xsl:call-template name="select.pagemaster"/>
|  </xsl:variable>
|  <fo:page-sequence hyphenate="{$hyphenate}"
|                    master-reference="{$master-reference}">

This is from code I just copied (from this list) to remove all the page 
breaks everywhere.

Any idea what I need to do to get the first page treated separately?

/Tomas
