What is the saba.xsl stylesheet that your command 
is calling?

Subject: [docbook-apps] Changing the page 
  margins of FO output

  

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to change the margins for all of 
  my pages in my FO output. I followed the instructions in Bob Stayton's 
  excellent book, on the following page: http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/PrintOutput.html#LeftRightMargins. 
  

My command to output to FO resembles the following:

  
xsltproc --nonet --xinclude --output 
  C:\docbook\documents\doc\file.fo --stringparam page.margin.top 5mm 
  --stringparam page.margin.bottom 5mm
--stringparam page.margin.inner 5mm 
  --stringparam page.margin.outer 5mm --stringparam target.database.document 
  "database_file.xml" --stringparam targets.filename   "file.db" 
  --stringparam current.docid "InstallDoc" 
  C:\docbook\docbook-xsl\fo\saba.xsl  
  C:\docbook\documents\doc\file.xml

Regardless of the values I 
  assign to the page margin parameters, the output displays the same margins. 
  

Next, I tried adding the parameters to my customization layer, as 
  follows:

  
<xsl:param 
  name="page.margin.top">5mm</xsl:param>
<xsl:param name=" 
  page.margin.bottom">5mm</xsl:param>
<xsl:param 
  name="page.margin.inner">5mm</xsl:param>
<xsl:param 
  name="page.margin.outer">5mm</xsl:param>

Now, I don't 
  specify the page margin parameters on the command line, But still, the page 
  margins don't change. I've searched this newsgroup and elsewhere, but haven't 
  spotted a solution. 

I'm using revision 1.69.1 of the 
  stylesheets.

Could anyone suggest my next step to troubleshoot this 
  issue?

Thanks,
Mark
