Re: DOCBOOK-APPS: double sided layout

[Marko Petersen <lg002237 at rzserv2 dot fhnon dot de>]

Hi,

thanks for the tip. I turned on the debug mode and found a large
FOP exception :-/
I tried a smaller xml-file and double-sided=1 works. But I think this is
the wrong approach for me - I thought with double-sided=1 the margin
on the left and right side of the paper switches for even and uneven
pages - but I cannot see any differences ...

Is this feature supported by the docbook-style? Maybe I forgot to set
some other properties needed for double-sided?

Thanks for help,

Marko
