Subject: RE: DOCBOOK-APPS: FO footer: total pages and time
<quote from Dave Pawson's book on FO> What happens if I want to say page 42 of 120, where I don't know the last page number of the document? In this case, you need to have a marker of some description at the end of the document. This is done by putting an empty block as the last item of content right at the end of the document, and providing an id attribute on that block. Then you can use <fo:page-number-citation ref-id="theEnd"/> ... <fo block id="theEnd"></fo:block> which the formatter then replaces with the page number of the very last page. </quote> As for the date of printing, there's nothing in the FO spec or the XSL spec for doing this. However, if you're using Saxon I know that you have access to any java method as an extension function.
