Re: [docbook-apps] Trying to get page numbers on 'first' pages

Hi Gabriela,

The problem is with your first xsl:when clause:

 

 <xsl:when test="(($sequence='first' and $pageclass!='index') or 
$pageclass='mybook-titlepage')">
</xsl:when>

This test is true for any 'first' pages that are not index 
pages, and so it never reaches the test further down.

Subject: [docbook-apps] Trying to get page numbers on 'first' 
pages

Hello,

(This message was sent to the docbook list 
yesterday, I think it should have been sent to this one)
 
We have a 
customization layer for printing PDF files that customizes the header and footer 
of our documents. It worked fine until I changed my document from an article to 
a book. Now, I cannot seem to include page numbers in the header-content of the 
first pages the pageclasses that are included in my book: table of contents 
(lot), chapters (body), appendix (back), index - basically everything except the 
book titlepage.

Below is the code snippet from my customization 
stylesheet:

 <xsl:template name="header.content">
  
<xsl:param name="pageclass"></xsl:param>
  <xsl:param 
name="sequence"></xsl:param>
  <xsl:param 
name="position"></xsl:param>
  <xsl:param 
name="gentext-key"></xsl: 

param>
  <xsl:if test="$pageclass != 
'titlepage'">
   <xsl:choose>
    
<xsl:when test="(($sequence='first' and 
$pageclass!='index')
    or 
$pageclass='mybook-titlepage')">
    
</xsl:when>
    <xsl:when test="($sequence='odd' and 
$position='left') or
      ($sequence='even' and 
$position='right')"></xsl:when>
    <xsl:when 
test="($sequence='even' and $position='center')">
     
<xsl:apply-templates select="." 
mode="title.markup"/>
    
</xsl:when>
    <xsl:when test="($sequence='odd' and 
$position='center')">
     <fo:retrieve-marker 
retrieve-class-name="section.head.marker"
                         
retrieve-position="first-including-carryover"
                         
retrieve-boundary="page-sequence"/>
    
</xsl:when>
<!-- note the following only works for the index first 
page ... -->
    <xsl:when test="($sequence='odd' and 
$position='right') or
      ($sequence='even' and 
$position='left') or
      ($sequence='first' and 
$pageclass='index' and $position='right') or
      
($sequence='first' and $pageclass='lot' and $position='right') 
or
      ($sequence='first' and $pageclass='body' 
and $position='right') or
      ($sequence='first' 
and $pageclass='back' and $position='right')">
     
<fo:page-number/>
    </xsl:when>
   
</xsl:choose>
  
</xsl:if>
 </xsl:template>

Any guidance would be 
greatly appreciated ...

-Gabriela
