I need to create a page number in a footer when the work package
ends with a odd number that looks something like this:
0001-5/6 blank
How can I generate the "6" onto page 5? Page 6 is blank and doesn't
actually exist so I can't seem to reference it with <fo:page-number-citation>.
Is there somewhate I can take the current page number and just add 1 to it?
This is a common request in the classroom from users trying to meet
their requirements, and it just isn't available in XSL-FO 1.1.
You cannot do any arithmetic with the page number, nor inspect it,
nor do anything else other than present it.
When a customer of mine asked me for the same thing, the best I could
suggest is:
0001-5/next blank
... and that satisfied them since it was a requirement to acknowledge
the blank page existed but not as much a requirement that it actually
be numbered.
Just use a dedicated region for odd pages that are the last in the
page sequence.
I hope this helps.
