XSL-FO and force-page-count="end-on-even"

unknown1 · ‎Mar 28, 2006

I have tried using the force-page-count="end-on-even" attribute on the fo:page-sequence with both Epic 5.1 and 5.2 and find that it is not followed. I find that if my content ends on an odd page, then there is no blank page generated for the following even page.

The page-sequence references a page-master with the following conditonals:

* odd-or-even="even" blank-or-not-blank="not-blank"
* odd-or-even="odd" blank-or-not-blank="not-blank"
* odd-or-even="any" blank-or-not-blank="blank"

Has anyone else seen this or have any ideas? Thanks for any help.

You might try using the “page-break-after” and “force-page-count” attributes within the “fo:page-sequence” element. Here is some sample code for a page sequence that I have set up to always end on an even page and to insert a blank page if it ends on an odd one. <xsl:template<span style='color:red;background:white'> match<span style='color:blue;background:white'>="<span style='color:black;background:white'>chapter<span style='color:blue;background:white'>"<span style='color:red;background:white'> priority<span style='color:blue;background:white'>="<span style='color:black;background:white'>5<span style='color:blue;background:white'>"><span style='color:black;background:white'> <font color=blue><<font color=maroon>fo:page-sequence<font color=red> role<font color=blue>="<font color=black>chapter<font color=blue>"> <<span style='color:maroon;background:white'>xsl:variable<font color=red> name<font color=blue>="<font color=black>pageset<font color=blue>"><font color=black>Default__A4<font color=blue><font color=maroon>xsl:variable<font color=blue>><font color=black> <<span style='color:maroon;background:white'>xsl:attribute<font color=red> name<font color=blue>="<font color=black>master-reference<font color=blue>"><font color=black>Default__A4<font color=blue><font color=maroon>xsl:attribute<font color=blue>><font color=black> <font color=blue><<font color=maroon>xsl:attribute<font color=red> name<font color=blue>="<font color=black>page-break-after<font color=blue>"><font color=black>always<font color=blue><font color=maroon>xsl:attribute<font color=blue>><font color=black> <font color=blue><<font color=maroon>xsl:attribute<font color=red> name<font color=blue>="<font color=black>force-page-count<font color=blue>"><font color=black>end-on-even<font color=blue><font color=maroon>xsl:attribute<font color=blue>> <<span style='color:maroon;background:white'>fo:flow<span style='color:red;background:white'> flow-name<span style='color:blue;background:white'>="<span style='color:black;background:white'>xsl-region-body<font color=blue>"><font color=black> <font color=blue><<font color=maroon>xsl:attribute<font color=red> name<font color=blue>="<font color=black>initial-page-number<font color=blue>"><font color=black>auto<font color=blue><font color=maroon>xsl:attribute<font color=blue>><font color=black> <font color=blue><<font color=maroon>xsl:attribute<font color=red> name<font color=blue>="<font color=black>format<font color=blue>"><font color=black>1<font color=blue><font color=maroon>xsl:attribute<font color=blue>><font color=black> <font color=blue><<font color=maroon>xsl:call-template<font color=red> name<font color=blue>="<font color=black>maybe-set-id<font color=blue>"/><font color=black> <font color=blue><font color=black> <font color=blue><<font color=maroon>xsl:apply-templates<font color=blue>/><font color=black> <font color=blue><font color=maroon>fo:flow<font color=blue>><font color=black> <font color=blue><font color=maroon>fo:page-sequence<font color=blue>><font color=black> xsl:template<span style='color:blue;background:white'>> From: kapple Sent: Tuesday, March 28, 2006 7:10 AM To: Adepters@maillist.arbortext.com Subject: XSL-FO and force-page-count="end-on-even" I have tried using the force-page-count="end-on-even" attribute on the fo:page-sequence with both Epic 5.1 and 5.2 and find that it is not followed.

I have tried using the force-page-count="end-on-even" attribute on the
fo:page-sequence with both Epic 5.1 and 5.2 and find that it is not followed.
I find that if my content ends on an odd page, then there is no blank page
generated for the following even page.

The page-sequence references a
page-master with the following conditonals:

* odd-or-even="even"
blank-or-not-blank="not-blank"
* odd-or-even="odd"
blank-or-not-blank="not-blank"
* odd-or-even="any"
blank-or-not-blank="blank"
