Re: [docbook-apps] Page numbers in body.margin.outer

Hi Claudio,

This should get you started, with some comments:

 

<!-- Shift some of the page side margin to the body side 
margin to make room -->

<xsl:param 
name="page.margin.outer">.5in</xsl:param>
<xsl:param 
name="body.margin.outer">.25in</xsl:param>
<xsl:param 
name="region.outer.extent">12pt</xsl:param>

<!-- extend the side region over the header/footer regions 
-->
<xsl:param 
name="side.region.precedence">true</xsl:param>

 

<xsl:attribute-set 
name="region.outer.properties">

  <!-- By default, the side region 
reference-orientation is 90 so text is rotated to fit,

     so this sets it back to zero for 
upright numbers -->
  <xsl:attribute 
name="reference-orientation">0</xsl:attribute>

 <!-- But I don't think FOP supports "outside" yet 
-->
  <xsl:attribute 
name="text-align">outside</xsl:attribute>
  <xsl:attribute 
name="width">0.25in</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:attribute-set>

 

<xsl:attribute-set 
name="outer.region.content.properties">
  <!-- Put any text 
formatting attributes here --></xsl:attribute-set>

 

<xsl:template name="outer.region.content">
  
<xsl:param name="pageclass" select="''"/>
  <xsl:param 
name="sequence" select="''"/>
  <xsl:param name="position" 
select="''"/>
  <xsl:param name="gentext-key" 
select="''"/>

 

  <!-- pageclass can be front, body, back 
-->
  <!-- sequence can be odd, even, first, blank 
-->
  <!-- position can be left, center, right -->

 

  <!-- Play with these settings to get them 
right.  I added the border just for visualization of the location 
-->
  <fo:block-container border="0.1pt solid blue" 

         height="3in" 
display-align="after" text-align="outside" 
width=".25in">
    <fo:block 
xsl:use-attribute-sets="outer.region.content.properties">
      
<!-- this bit compensates for FOP's lack of text-align="outside" 
-->

       <xsl:attribute 
name="text-align">
        
<xsl:choose>
          
<xsl:when test="$sequence='odd' or 
$sequence='first'">end</xsl:when>
          
<xsl:otherwise>start</xsl:otherwise>
        
</xsl:choose>
      
</xsl:attribute>

    <!-- and here is where the page number 
is specified -->
      
<fo:page-number/>
    </fo:block>
  
</fo:block-container>
</xsl:template>

 

Let me know if you have any questions.

Subject: [docbook-apps] Page numbers in 
body.margin.outer

I would like to put the page number (in chapters or articles) in 
the body.margin.outer (I believe this is the correct parameter, but I'm not 
sure), in the middle of the page, instead of usual place in footer or header. 
Can someone suggest me where to look for? I'm using FOP processor with Oxygen. 

Regards
