How to know the last page of the element?

Hi All!

In the end of some elements, I need to put a blank page depending if it's pair or odd. How can I do it?

Hello Robson

following markup:

Create 3 page types. One for left pages, one for right pages, one for blank pages. On the blank one don't use any page regions or only a footer region or whatever you want to display on blank pages.

Create a page set and select the page types you want to use on left/right/blank pages

In the element condition described in the last answer start a new odd page. This will produce 3 pages; page 2 uses the blank page type

Please check the help system as well. In Editor's command line type

and press enter, you get information about page sets, page types etc.

Best regards

Hello Robson,

the easiest way is defining blank pages in your page set. Then the next element following your special element should start a new left or right page. The blank page is inserted automatically.

If you don't know which element follows your special element you need to add conditions with an XPath Test to all possible following elements and test the preceding-sibling:

name(preceding-sibling::*[1])='your_element'

And for this condition you set the Start New Page property in the Breaks tab

Thank you Joachim,

Could you take some screenshots about the first way you said?
