Re: [docbook-apps] Header customization

["Bob Stayton" <bobs at sagehill dot net>]

The doc for $header.column.widths points out that the first number in the
parameter sets the proportional width for the inside position for
double-sided output.  The inside position alternates left and right for odd
and even pages, respectively, when double.sided is not zero.  Also, when the
first and last widths in the parameter are not the same, then the middle
position is not centered.  Those two factors cause your middle position to
alternate positions on odd and even pages.

The stylesheets assume headers and footers are mirrored in double.sided
output.  If you want to change that behavior, you could customize the
template named 'header.table' in fo/pagesetup.xsl to make whatever kind of
layout you want.  You could also customize the smaller template named
'header.footer.width' in fo/pagesetup.xsl.  That template selects one of the
width values from the parameter and uses it to set the column width in the
stock header table.
