Re: DOCBOOK-APPS: Double Side and FOP with 1.53

[Jens Stavnstrup <js at ddre dot dk>]

Togan,

Below is a stylesheet, that solves your problem. I don't know, why I 
havn't though of this before, since it is a much cleaner solution, and you 
do not have to copy and override Norms templates.

I suspect, this technique can also be used as a different solution to 
Nicolas idea on fixing  pagenumbering of components as described  in:

  http://list.oasis-open.org/archives/docbook-apps/200208/msg00081.html

and also to take Bob comment into account, see:

-------------- fo-post-for-fop.xsl ---------------------------
<?xml version="1.0"?>

<!--

This stylesheet is created for post-processing of FO result-trees intended for 
delivery to FOP 0.20.4. This should temporary solve problems caused by wrong 
or unimplemented features in FOP.

When using Saxon, this stylesheet can be automatically processed by adding the 
attribute saxon:next-in-chain to the xsl:output element of your own 
stylesheet.

E.g.

  <xsl:output method="xml" indent="no"  
              saxon:next-in-chain="fo-post-for-fop.xsl"/>
              
N.B. Remember to attach the namespace declaration 
xmlns:saxon="http://icl.com/saxon"; to your stylesheet element

     Problem:  In DocBook XSL 1.53.0 Norm uses the basic conformance level
               property  initial-page-number to force components to break on
               odd-pages instead of the previously used extended conformance
               level property  force-page-count.

     Solution: Use the extended property force-page-count

     .................................................................... -->
  
<xsl:template match="fo:page-sequence[@initial-page-number='auto-odd']">
  <xsl:copy>
     <xsl:apply-templates select="@*[name() != 'initial-page-number']"/>
     <xsl:attribute name="force-page-count">end-on-even</xsl:attribute>
     <xsl:apply-templates/>
  </xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>


<!-- Put your own templates here -->


</xsl:stylesheet>
