Subject: Re: Duplex printing - how to pad with blank pages

You'd have to create a special element such as > an empty para with role="pagebreak" for that. > > Bob Stayton > Sagehill Enterprises I have an XML file that looks like this: <book xmlns="http://docbook.org/ns/docbook" version="5.0"> <title>Conditional Hard Page Breaks</title> <chapter> <title>Blank Pages</title> <para>This is a paragraph</para> <?hard-pagebreak?> <para condition="break-needed"> <?hard-pagebreak?> </para> <para>This paragraph always begins on a new page, thanks to the unconditional hard page break. If profile.condition = break-needed, then a blank page will be inserted. What I really want is that the extra page break should be inserted when double.sided=1. </para> </chapter> </book> I can process this with: xsltproc -o break.fo --stringparam profile.condition break-needed \ break.xsl break.xml where break.xsl imports fo/profile-docbook.xsl and defines the hard page break PI. The only thing is that I would rather not have to remember to set profile.condition=break-needed when I set double.sided=1. I want my PI to add one page break or two depending on the value of double.sided. I tried this: <xsl:import href="/path/to/non-profiling/fo/docbook.xsl/> <xsl:template match="processing-instruction('hard-pagebreak')"> <!-- always start new page --> <fo:block break-after="page"/> <xsl:if test="double.sided=1"> <!-- add blank page --> <fo:block break-after="page"/> </xsl:if> </xsl:template> I know that the test for double.sided works, because I have no problems when double.sided = 0, but when it is 1, then fop gives errors: java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: Flow "xsl-region-body" does not map to the region-body in page-master "blank". FOP presently does not support this. (See position 2:458). The relevant section of the fo file is: <fo:simple-page-master master-name="blank" page-width="8.5in" page-height="11in" margin-top="0.5in" margin-bottom="0.5in" margin-left="0.75in - 0pt" margin-right="1.25in"> <fo:region-body display-align="center" margin-bottom="0.5in" margin-top="0.5in" region-name="blank-body"/> ... </fo:region-body> ... </fo:simple-page-master> 2:458 is where the <fo:region-body> tag starts. Is it possible for me to do what I want?
