Subject: Re: [docbook] Fo question
The handling of the part element in fo is different from other division type elements because the children of part (chapter, appendix, etc.) generate page sequences, and you cannot nest page-sequence in XSL-FO. The part template must generate only the part divider pages. This requires the template handling part to generate whatever page-sequences it needs for its titlepage, partintro, and TOC, close the last page-sequence, and then apply-templates to its other children to allow them to generate their own page-sequences. That's different from the nesting of FO elements that is done for almost all other elements. So the part templates are a bit confusing at first, especially since the handling is different if there is a partintro present. If you don't use a partintro, then you can replace the original part template from fo/division.xsl: <xsl:template match="part"> <xsl:if test="not(partintro)"> <xsl:apply-templates select="." mode="part.titlepage.mode"/> <xsl:call-template name="generate.part.toc"/> </xsl:if> <xsl:apply-templates/> </xsl:template> with this customization: <xsl:template match="part"> <xsl:if test="not(partintro)"> <xsl:apply-templates select="." mode="part.titlepage.mode"> <xsl:with-param name="additional.content"> <xsl:call-template name="division.toc"/> </xsl:with-param> </xsl:apply-templates> </xsl:if> <xsl:apply-templates/> </xsl:template> The "part.titlepage.mode" template is used to generate the page sequence for the part title page. Normally it calls generate.part.toc after that page sequence, and generate.part.toc creates its own page-sequence too, which is why the toc was on a separate odd-numbered page. The customization uses the "additional.content" parameter to put the division.toc (which is what generate.part.toc used to create the actual TOC) on the titlepage itself, and does not call generate.part.toc after the titlepage. If you are using a partintro, you'll need to trace through that template to see where to apply this customization.
