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
