XSL-FO does not allow one to trigger different page
geometries 
dynamically in the flow, which is what you are trying to
do.

However, this is something my customer needed for
landscape-oriented 
tables and I came up with a solution called
"PSMI" for "Page Sequence 
Master Interleave":

http://biglist.com/lists/xsl-list/archives/200403/msg00464.html

This will do what you want, and the end result works with
any XSL-FO 
engine, but there is an intermediate XSLT process that
requires one 
to create the XSL-FO outside of the engine and pass the
transformed 
instance to the engine standalone.

I hope this helps.

Hi:

I have an XSLFO question. I have a sample xml file:

<root>
<element1>
<image>
<graphic></graphic>
</image>
</element1>
</root>

I have a common file called images.xsl which is used to
style all the images.

My pagelayouts are defined in a base style sheet called
base.xsl

Now, I want to create a seperate page layout with
different page 
width and height jsut for the <image> element and
call this in the 
images.xsl style sheet.

I created a seperate <fo:simple-page-master> with
the desired page 
layouts, and a page sequence master in base.xsl.

What I want to really do is create a template with
these page layout 
specifications and call this in images.xsl. Can this be
done in xslfo?

Any suggestion/help is appreciated.

Thank you
