Bob,

In one of your 
posts dated Mar 26, 2009 (Re:
[docbook-apps] how 
to

omit blank pages in 
the 
front matter?) you 
stated:

“The preface, toc, and each of the "List Of" are in
their own page sequence”

Does that
mean for the LOTs, the page sequences for the list of figures, list of 
tables
etc can be handled separately? Looking at my customised xsl:template
name="force.page.count", I can only see that the LOT is handled as one
master-reference:

<xsl:template name="force.page.count">

    <xsl:param name="element"
select="local-name(.)"/>

    <xsl:param 
name="master-reference"
select="''"/>

    

    <xsl:choose> 

      <xsl:when

        
test="starts-with($master-reference,'listoftitles')">no-force</xsl:when>

      <!-- no-force 
-->

      <xsl:when

        
test="starts-with($master-reference,'front')">end-on-even</xsl:when>
<!-- no-force -->

      <xsl:when 
test="$element =
'preface'">end-on-even</xsl:when> 

      <!-- double-sided 
output --> 

      <xsl:when 
test="$double.sided
!= 0">end-on-even</xsl:when> <!-- end-on-even -->

      <!-- single-sided 
output --> 

      
<xsl:otherwise>no-force</xsl:otherwise>

    </xsl:choose> 

  </xsl:template>

 

So, if you 
delete blank pages in the LOTs by using “no-force”,
does that delete all blank pages from
each “List of” in the LOTs? And therefore you cannot force the last LOT to end on even? (because that’s
what I need). How can I customise a different force.page.count for the last 
LOT
to be end-on-even? I’ve attached the output to show that I need the 
Preface to
start on an odd page.

Thanks,

Dave

Hi Dave,

Now I'm a bit confused.  I thought the 

goal 
stated in your earlier mail was to eliminate any blank pages for those 
elements.  That's why you were changing 'force' to 'no-force'.  
Can 
you clarify the sequence that you would like to see, and what you are 
actually 
getting?

Thanks 
Bob - the code worked. I still have a 
  problem with needing to end the lot on an even page, and to also get the 
  following preface to end on even.

  

Here is the relevant code:

  

 

  

<xsl:template name="user.pagemasters">
    
  <!-- Front and back covers. NOTE: may need to adjust 
  margins
      to position image on page 
  -->
    <fo:simple-page-master 
  master-name="front-cover" 
      
  page-width="{$page.width}" 
      
  page-height="{$page.height}" 
      
  margin-top="-10pt" 
      margin-bottom="0pt" 
  
      margin-left="0pt" 
  
      
  margin-right="0pt">
      
<fo:region-body 
  
        margin-top="0pt" 
  
        margin-bottom="0pt" 
  
        margin-left="0pt" 
  
        margin-right="0pt"/> 
  
    </fo:simple-page-master>

    
  
    <fo:simple-page-master master-name="back-cover" 
  
      page-width="{$page.width}" 
  
      page-height="{$page.height}" 
  
      margin-top="0pt" 
  
      margin-bottom="0pt" 
  
      margin-left="0pt" 
  
      
  margin-right="0pt">
      
<fo:region-body 
  
        margin-top="-10pt" 
  
        margin-bottom="0pt" 
  
        margin-left="0pt" 
  
        margin-right="0pt"/> 
  
    </fo:simple-page-master>

    
  
    <!--3. set odd and even page masters for 
  LOTs-->
    <!-- setup for lots 
  -->
    <fo:page-sequence-master 
  master-name="listoftitles">
      
  <fo:repeatable-page-master-alternatives>

        
  <fo:conditional-page-master-reference 
  master-reference="blank"

          
  blank-or-not-blank="blank"/>

        
  <fo:conditional-page-master-reference 
  master-reference="lot-odd"

          
  odd-or-even="odd"/>
        
  <fo:conditional-page-master-reference 
  
          
  odd-or-even="even">

          
  <xsl:attribute 
  name="master-reference">

            
  <xsl:choose>

              

  <xsl:when test="$double.sided != 
  0">lot-even</xsl:when>

              

  <xsl:otherwise>lot-odd</xsl:otherwise>

            
  </xsl:choose>

          
  </xsl:attribute>
        
  </fo:conditional-page-master-reference>

      
  </fo:repeatable-page-master-alternatives>
    
  </fo:page-sequence-master>
  </xsl:template>
  

  
  <!--4. select new pagemaster name for LOTs-->
  
  <xsl:template name="select.user.pagemaster">
    
  <xsl:param name="element"/>
    <xsl:param 
  name="pageclass"/>
    <xsl:param 
  name="default-pagemaster"/>
    <!-- Return my 
  customized title page master name if for 
  titlepage,
      otherwise return the default 
  -->
    
  <xsl:choose>
      <xsl:when 
  test="$default-pagemaster = 
  'lot'">
        <xsl:value-of 
  select="'listoftitles'" />
      
  </xsl:when>
      
  <xsl:otherwise>
        
  <xsl:value-of 
  select="$default-pagemaster"/>
      
  </xsl:otherwise>
    </xsl:choose>
  

  </xsl:template>
 

  

Can I insert a blank page if the lot finishes on an odd page? 

  

 

  

Thanks again,

  

Dave Gardiner
