Re: [xsl] how to trigger a new page sequence, depending on specific inpu

Thanks Brandon for your contined interest in following up this thread of emails.
Sorry about being wordy.
Let me reiterate:
I want to a final PDF comes with a single back page only and remove
the duplicate one. The cause of the problem , to the best of my
knowledge, is due to the fact that the <insert.chapter> template takes
recursively each topicref node in the merged DITA XML, without giving
considerations to the other 'insert.lastchapter' that already
generates the back page with desireable rendering effect.
I think I am really weak in applying Xpath properly.

Cheers,
Ray
