RE: [xsl] Question about Page-Masters
Subject: RE: [xsl] Question about Page-Masters From: "Lehming, Thea" <THEA.LEHMING@xxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 27 Aug 2003 15:46:26 -0400 |
Wendell, I have had success with this and I thank you for your advice. I have a further question, however: In my particular case, the last section of a chapter needs to be *one* column before going to the next chapter which should be 2 columns, in a multiple chapter document. Any ideas? Thanks, Thea. -----Original Message----- From: Wendell Piez [mailto:wapiez@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Friday, August 22, 2003 10:38 AM To: xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: [xsl] Question about Page-Masters Thea, Is there a reason you cannot simply declare a separate page master, one without columns, and switch to it for that last chapter? Generally, this can be done easily enough by having a separate template to match the last chapter, which calls the special page master. Or even using a conditional in the one template, like so: <xsl:template match="chapter"> <xsl:variable name="layout"> <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test="not(following-sibling::chapter)">nocolumns</xsl:when> <xsl:otherwise>columns</xsl:otherwise> </xsl:choose> </xsl:variable> <fo:page-sequence master-name="{$layout}"> .... </fo:page-sequence> </xsl:template> This is assuming you're assigning each chapter to its own page sequence. If this is not the case (e.g. if chapters except the last are to be pulled together into a sequence), the problem is harder (though not necessarily much harder).
