Thanks - this definitely gave me a good start. I did not realize I could put
the page-sequences inside the element definition so that makes lots more sense
to me now. This is helping but it looks like if one of my chapters just has a
single page then the first page of the next chapter gets the odd-before static
content rather than the first-page one. I know that because I stuck an "XXX"
after the page number for the first-page to show me which model it gets. I
tried sticking in a blank-page definition but that doesn't seem to help. Any
ideas?
Here is what I have now:
<fo:layout-master-set>
<fo:simple-page-master master-name="first-page"
xsl:use-attribute-sets="pageDimensions">
<fo:region-body margin-top="0pt" />
<fo:region-before

<fo:region-start extent="93pt" />
</fo:simple-page-master>
<fo:simple-page-master master-name="odd-page"
xsl:use-attribute-sets="pageDimensions">
<fo:region-body margin-top="71.5pt" />

Cindy,
You're almost there.
Currently, you're flowing your entire content into a single page-sequence, as
shown here:
At 09:58 AM 3/29/2007, you wrote:
<fo:page-sequence master-reference="my-sequence">
<fo:static-content flow-name="first-before"> ... </fo:static-content>
<!-- This code sets up running head for odd pages -->
<fo:static-content flow-name="odd-before"> ... </fo:static-content>
<!-- This code sets up running head for even pages -->
<fo:static-content flow-name="even-before"> ... </fo:static-content>
<fo:flow flow-name="xsl-region-body">
<xsl:apply-templates select="/book/body"/>
</fo:flow>
</fo:page-sequence>
Instead, you want each chapter to get its own page sequence. Something like
(where the above appeared)
<xsl:apply-templates select="/book/body/chapter"/>
and then
<xsl:template match="chapter">
<fo:page-sequence master-reference="my-sequence">
... first, your static contents ...
then:
<fo:flow flow-name="xsl-region-body">
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</fo:flow>
</fo:page-sequence>
</xsl:template>
(with adjustments made for the actual structure of your input).
Then each chapter gets its own page sequence and thus its own first page.
You may have to adjust settings on the page-sequence-master to get pagination
to be continuous, control where the first page appears (on an odd or even
page), etc.
Cheers,
Wendell
