Gentlemen,
BTW, there are *many* ladies who know this technology very well, and
who are on this list.
I am having difficulty breaking into the complexities of FO
We are teaching XSL-FO in Washington DC in November covering all of
XSL-FO 1.0 and 1.1 ... this follows a week of XSLT/XQuery/XPath at
the same location. Details linked from our home page.
and have an assignment at work which is proving daunting. THis list
has helped me so much with XSL that I thought someone here would
indulge me in a simple start-up question.
We have a free excerpt of the PDF book on XSL-FO that we sell that
you can download from our web site that goes into some basics you
will probably find very helpful. Details linked from our home page.
Here goes. I have some XML and an XSL-FO style sheet which generates
exactly one page of dynamic content transformed from the xml. It
itself includes another stylesheet which dynamically generates an
undefinined number of pages to follow the first page. These work
fine and I do not wish to change them (!).
My task is deceptively simple for me. I have to augment the first
driver stylesheet to allow for the inclusion of another XSL-FO
stylesheet which should generate exactly one page of purely static
text, which must be the last page of the entire PDF.
Can anyone give me the most basic start-off template for this last,
static page, and how to include it to assure the correct positioning
at the end?
By using multiple page sequences. You are already using at least one
page sequence for the content you have (you might be using two, one
for your title page and one for your content).
Follow after the end of your current last <page-sequence> with a new
<page-sequence> that has your static last page.
I hope this helps.
