Re: xsl help adding a footer with page number

J,

I am getting my text on my main page running in to my
footer is this a common problem.  Here is how I have
set up my page.  Ideas why this is happening.  Seems
like the text on the page goes all the way to the
bottom but does not do that when I print it off but
when I view the pdf it does.


   <fo:layout-master-set>
      <fo:simple-page-master master-name="main"
                   xsl:use-attribute-sets="pagedef">
                  <fo:region-body region-name="main" 
                                  page-height="11in" 
                                  page-width="8.5in"
                                                  margin-top="0.5in" 
                                                  margin-bottom="0.5in"
                                                  margin-left="0.5in"
                                                  margin-right="0.5in"/>
                  <fo:region-before region-name="header-main"
extent="0.5in"/>
                  <fo:region-after region-name="footer-main"
extent="0.5in"/>
          </fo:simple-page-master>
   </fo:layout-master-set>

   <fo:page-sequence master-reference="main">
                <fo:static-content flow-name="header-main">
                    <fo:block xsl:use-attribute-sets="header">
                      HEADER GOES HERE
                    </fo:block>
                  </fo:static-content> 
                  <fo:static-content flow-name="footer-main">
                    <fo:block text-align="center" font-size="8pt"
xsl:use-attribute-sets="footer">
                      <fo:page-number/>
                    </fo:block>
                  </fo:static-content> 

        <fo:flow flow-name="main">

Hi, Josh,

Here's a simplified version of one of my page
definitions:

<fo:simple-page-master master-name="main" 
xsl:use-attribute-sets="pagedef">
  <fo:region-body region-name="main"
margin-top="1in" 
margin-bottom="1in"/>
  <fo:region-before region-name="header-main"
extent="1in"/>
  <fo:region-after region-name="footer-main"
extent="1in"/>
</fo:simple-page-master>

Note that the regions have names.

And here's the corresponding flow definition (much
simplified, of course):

<fo:page-sequence master-reference="main">
  <fo:static-content flow-name="header-main">
    <fo:block xsl:use-attribute-sets="header">
      <fo:external-graphic src="logo.gif"/>
    </fo:block>
  </fo:static-content> 
  <fo:static-content flow-name="footer-main">
    <fo:block xsl:use-attribute-sets="footer">
      <fo:page-number/>
    </fo:block>
  </fo:static-content> 
  <fo:flow flow-name="main">
    <!-- Build the document here -->
  </fo:flow>
</fo:page-sequence>

The static-content chunks flow into the before and
after regions, and the 
main flow goes in the usual flow area. In this
fashion, you can build a 
series of different page definitions. I generally
use front (for the title 
page and copyright notices and such), contents (for
the table of 
contents), main (for the body of the book), and back
(for the appendixes, 
glossary, and index). So most of my book definition
FO files have 4 page 
masters and 4 corresponding page-sequence objects,
each with 
static-content ojbects (that match the regions
defined in the page 
masters) for the headers and footers.

Let me know if you need more explanation. Also, you
FOP distribution has 
several examples to examine.

[xsl] xsl help adding a footer with page number






I have the following template specified and I was
trying to add a custom footer to this document.  I
am
using FO and not html.  All I want in the footer is
the page number followed by the word "CURRENT".  How
can I do this? 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
  xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
  xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format";>

 <xsl:template match="/">
  <fo:root
xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format";>
 
   <fo:layout-master-set>
     <fo:simple-page-master master-name="simple"
                   page-height="11in" 
                   page-width="8.5in"
                   margin-top=".5in" 
                   margin-bottom=".5in" 
                   margin-left=".5in" 
                   margin-right=".5in">
     <fo:region-body margin-top=".5in"/>
       <fo:region-before extent=".5in"/>
       <fo:region-after extent=".5in"/>
     </fo:simple-page-master>
   </fo:layout-master-set>
 
 
   <fo:page-sequence master-reference="simple">
                 <fo:flow
flow-name="xsl-region-body">
                                 <!-- I have
fo:blocks displayed items 
here -->
                 </fo:flow>
   </fo:page-sequence>
  </fo:root> 
 </xsl:template>
