Subject: Re: [docbook] Question to cutomization of docbook-xsl
This was indeed a curous problem. What I found during my investigation was that if the preface ends on an even-numbered page, you don't get an extra blank page. If it ends on an odd page, you do get the extra blank page. This was strange because double-sided printing was off, so it should not need to output any extra blank pages. I didn't see anything in the page sequence for preface that would cause that behavior. So I looked at the next page sequence (for the first chapter), and it includes this property: initial-page-number="1" When I edited the fo to change that to "2" or "4", there was no extra blank page. When I changed it to "3" or "5", it came back. I found this to be very strange, especially since FOP, XEP, and Antenna House all exhibit the same behavior. It seems that the FO processors cannot output two odd-numbered pages in a row, even when you explicitly ask for it. I'm going to raise this on some other lists to see of this behavior is by design.
