Hi Gabriela,
The page number format is handled by the template named 'page.number.format' in fo/pagesetup.xsl. That template is written to set the format attribute value for each page-sequence that calls it. It bases the choice on the element calling the template. Normally an article is a single page sequence, so changing the format would not be an option.
That's what I was afraid of.
But if you are generating separate title pages, you may be generating a separate page-sequence (certainly the 'front.cover' template that I provided does). Alternatively, your title pages may be in the same article page-sequence but with forced page breaks. Since I don't know which method you are using for your article title pages, I cannot provide much specific advice.
Well, maybe there's hope. The following snippet is from our print customization file, which includes a specification of the page-sequence:
<xsl:template name="select.user.pagemaster">
<xsl:param name="element"/>
<xsl:param name="pageclass"/>
<xsl:param name="default-pagemaster"/>
<!-- Return my customized title page master name if for titlepage,
otherwise return the default. -->
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="$default-pagemaster = 'titlepage'">
<xsl:value-of select="'mybook-titlepage'" />
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:value-of select="$default-pagemaster"/>
