Maybe I forgot to set > some other properties needed for double-sided? Yes, you should be seeing different margins. If you look in the fo/param.xsl file, you will see that the 'page.margin.inner' parameter is set to 1.25in if double.sided is turned on, and 'page.margin.outer' is set to 0.75in. If you scan the fo output from the XSLT transformation, you should see this: <fo:simple-page-master master-name="body-even" page-width="8.5in" page-height="11in" margin-top="0.5in" margin-bottom="0.5in" margin-left="1.25in" margin-right="0.75in"> If the margin-left and margin-right are "1in", then something has gone wrong and you aren't getting 'double.sided' fo output.
