Hi Alan,
That template looks like it should work. Can you peak in your .fo file to see if the new page master is being
referenced? For a body page-sequence, you should see:
<fo:page-sequence master-reference="instart-body"
...>
If you see "body", then the selection process is not
working. If you see "instart-body", then the custom page-master is not
working.

output
Took me a while to get back to this.
Bob, I followed the documentation that you referred to, and added a
background-color attribute to the fo:region-after elements. It doesn't seem to
do a thing.
Here's the logic I put in to decide whether to use the default or the
custom page-masters:
<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 body,
otherwise
return the default -->
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when
test="$default-pagemaster = 'body'">
<xsl:value-of
select="'instart-body'" />
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:value-of
select="$default-pagemaster"/>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>
I suspect I am not selecting my custom one properly and it's using the
default - but I can't see why. Any ideas?

Hi Alan,
That area is defined by the fo:region-after in the
fo:simple-page-masters in fo:pagesetup.xsl. There is no attribute-set
for that region, but you can create your own custom page-masters, and add
the background-color to that fo:region-after element. Customing
page-masters is described here:

Subject: [docbook-apps] Footer background color for pront
output
Hi,
I'm having some trouble trying to figure out how to set up my footer
for print output to have its background color set. I can add it to the
footer.content.properties attribute set, but that only sets the background
color of the displayed text - kind of like in HTML setting the background
color attribute for the text in a div rather than for the div itself.
In other words, I want the entire lower 15% or so of the printed page
to have a different background color than the rest of the page.
Any hints?
Thanks!
