Re: [docbook-apps] blank pages between chapters in double sided output

Answering myself, it might help someone:

      

      I found a workaround:

      

      in template "user.pagemasters":

      

        <fo:page-sequence-master master-name="body-custom">

          <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="body-first"

                              page-position="first"

                              odd-or-even="odd"/>

            <fo:conditional-page-master-reference
      master-reference="body-even"

                              page-position="first"

                              odd-or-even="even"/>

            <fo:conditional-page-master-reference
      master-reference="body-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">body-even</xsl:when>

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

            </xsl:choose>

          </xsl:attribute>

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

          </fo:repeatable-page-master-alternatives>

        </fo:page-sequence-master>

      

      then in template "select.user.pagemaster":

      

      <xsl:template name="select.user.pagemaster">

        <xsl:param name="element"/>

        <xsl:param name="pageclass"/>

        <xsl:param name="default-pagemaster"/>

      

        <xsl:choose>

          <xsl:when test="$default-pagemaster = 'body'">

            <xsl:value-of select="'body-custom'" />

          </xsl:when>

          <xsl:otherwise>

            <xsl:value-of select="$default-pagemaster"/>

          </xsl:otherwise>

        </xsl:choose>

      </xsl:template>

      

      bye,

      Hello,

        

        I am to format into PDF using FOP 1.0 a document containing many
        short chapters(one page in output PDF). I'm using a double sided
        output. To suppress the blank pages I use the following in my
        XSL stylesheet : 

        

        <xsl:param name="double.sided" select="1" />

        <xsl:template
        name="initial.page.number">auto</xsl:template>

        <xsl:template
        name="page.number.format">1</xsl:template>

        <xsl:template
        name="force.page.count">no-force</xsl:template>

        

        This way, the blank pages are removed, but if a chapter starts
        on an even page the simple-page-master used is 'body-first'
        which is an odd page layout.

        

        I'm using docbook-xsl-ns-1.75.2

        

        Is there a way around this?
