What I need to do is be able to change the page numbering after the
998'th page. Using my chapter 2000 with 1,002 pages example, the
numbering should be:
2997, 2998, 2998.1, 2998.2, 2998.3, 2998.4.
...
Does anyone have any suggestions on strategies I can use to accomplish
this? I thought I read somewhere that I could use a maximum-repeats
attribute in the page-sequence-master element (like
maximum-repeats="998") and then use a different master page, but I have
no idea how to do that.
That would almost work, if only "format" was applicable to
fo:simple-page-master or fo:repeatable-page-master-reference, etc.
What you'd want to do, but cannot do, is follow
<fo:repeatable-page-master-reference maximum-repeats="998"
master-reference="..."/> with another fo:repeatable-page-master-reference
that set the folio prefix to '2998.' and set the page number format to
number pages from 1 again.
However, fo:folio-prefix and the number to string conversion properties
(format, grouping-separator, grouping-size, letter-value, country, and
language) apply to the fo:page-sequence, and you're not changing page
sequences at that point.
If the master-name makes it into the RenderX intermediate format for a
page you could, however, use "maximum-repeats" and change to a page master
with a different name after 998 pages and use that as the trigger for your
page number munging in the intermediate file.
There is a XSL FO 2.0 requirement for (more) inheritance down the area
tree [1] that may help, but that is not yet part of Design Notes for
Extensible Stylesheet Language (XSL) 2.0 [2].
