Subject: XSL-FO conditional pagination and content
Date: Fri, 26 Mar 2004 11:33:10 -0500
In XSL-FO, I have a pagination pattern that requires a dynamic first
page,
a static last page, and optional rest page(s) if the data listed on the
first page's body area spills over to a second page or even a third page
or beyond.
Until now, I'd solved this problem with one simple page-sequence. Now I
want to add some summary content at the beginning of the rest page(s)
only, either part of the region-before area, or part of the body. I've
tried to test for the value of <fo:page-number/> in my XSL-T stylesheet,
something like:
<xsl:variable name="pgNumber"><fo:page-number/></xsl:variable>
<xsl:if test="$pgNumber > 1">
optional content goes here
</xsl:if>
However, <fo:page-number/> does not appear to be readable to the
elements
in the xsl: namespace.
I'd like to do this while continuing to use the simplest XSLFO, with
just
one page-sequence. If not, I'll be doing it with a page-sequence-master
containing conditional-page-master-references for "first", the optional
"rest", and the static "last". Your guidance would be appreciated.
