Re: [xsl] Conditionally have an even page declaration

Actually, turns out my biggest problem was I had a typo. My test is
looking for BoLReport, where it's actually BOLReport.
Thanks anyway.

Yes, but I think not with the approach you've taken.  Though I am unsure
based on the lack of detail in your question.


I'm trying to do something with <xsl:if>, but I
can't seem to get it to work, and I can't find good examples anywhere
of using it not in a for-each.

This is what I have:

       <xsl:if test="BolReport/ReportType = 'Term'">
         <fo:simple-page-master master-name="even"
           page-width="8.5in"   page-height="11in"
           margin-top="0.13in"  margin-bottom="0.25in"
           margin-left="0.175in" margin-right="0.25in"
background-image="url({BOLReport/TermPath})">
           <fo:region-body/>
         </fo:simple-page-master>
       </xsl:if>


The simple page master can be in your layout master set and never used, so
it is safest to simply add it without putting it in the conditional.


And then in the xml:

<BOLReport>
 ...
 <ReportType>Term</ReportType>
 ...
</BOLReport>


Is that your document element or a piece of your document?  I'll assume it
is a piece of your document and I'm guessing you are creating a page
sequence for each of the <BOLReport> elements:

  <xsl:for-each select="BOLReport">
    <fo:page-sequence master-reference="regular">
       <xsl:if test="ReportType='Term'">
         <!--override the regular master to force an even page-->
         <xsl:attribute name="master-reference">even</xsl:attribute>
         <xsl:attribute name="page-number">auto-even</xsl:attribute>
       </xsl:if>
       ...
    </fo:page-sequence>
  </xsl:for-each>

I hope this helps, though I'm unclear on precisely what you are asking for.
 Perhaps this will point you in the right direction.
