Subject: Re: [docbook-apps] Page numbering in pdf output
Hi Dennis, There isn't an XSL stylesheet parameter to do what you want, but you can customize a couple of XSL templates that were designed for the purpose. The originals for these templates are in fo/pagesetup.xsl, and they contain <xsl:choose> statements to allow different elements to set the initial page number and page number format. For your requirement, they are very simple: <!-- This template always returns the string '1', which sets the page number format to 1,2,3,... --> <xsl:template name="page.number.format"> <xsl:param name="element" select="local-name(.)"/> <xsl:param name="master-reference" select="''"/> <xsl:value-of select="'1'"/> </xsl:template> <!-- This template always continues the page numbering. --> <!-- For double-sided output, it also forces chapters to start on odd-numbered pages --> <xsl:template name="initial.page.number"> <xsl:param name="element" select="local-name(.)"/> <xsl:param name="master-reference" select="''"/> <xsl:choose> <!-- double-sided output --> <xsl:when test="$double.sided != 0">auto-odd</xsl:when> <xsl:otherwise>auto</xsl:otherwise> </xsl:choose> </xsl:template> You just need to add these templates to your stylesheet customization layer. If you don't know about customization layers, you can learn about them in this reference: http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/CustomMethods.html#CustomizationLayer Bob Stayton Sagehill Enterprises DocBook Consulting bobs@sagehill.net ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dennis Karasev" <dennis@pochtamt.ru> To: <docbook-apps@lists.oasis-open.org> Sent: Monday, October 18, 2004 5:48 PM Subject: [docbook-apps] Page numbering in pdf output > Hello! > > I've just skimmed through the "FO Parameter Reference" at > http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/doc/fo/, this lists > archive, and the stylesheets, of course, but the only place which seemed > close to be handling my problem did so in regard to dsssl. > > What I need is straightforward page numbering: the title page is no. 1, > the TOC, let's say, no. 2, first page of the first chapter - no. 3 then > (supposing each of them take exactly 1 page and there are no other > elemants between them). > > If I simply change page number format of front matter pages from roman > to arabic, then I get two no. 1 pages and so on, since new page sequence > begins after preface. > > I guess, though I may be wrong, "reset-page-numbers" parameter in dsssl > stylesheets addressed the same question, but I haven't found anything > alike in xsl stylesheets. > > Is there a standard (or any noncomplicated) way to solve such a problem > (an option, perhaps,that I've missed)?
