Re: [xsl] Total number of pages with XSL-FO
Subject: Re: [xsl] Total number of pages with XSL-FO From: Nadia.Swaby@xxxxxx Date: Thu, 14 Apr 2005 13:12:35 -0400 |
Well I tried and it does not work. I suspect that it is because the id 'last-page' is in the actual .fo document, no in the xml. here is a code snippet: <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test="//fo:block/@id='last-page'"> Page <fo:page-number/> of <fo:page-number-citation ref-id="last-page"/> </xsl:when> <xsl:otherwise> Page 1 of 1 </xsl:otherwise> </xsl:choose> <!--snip to block with id='last-page'--> <fo:static-content flow-name="xsl-region-after-otherlast"> <fo:block id="last-page" space-before="12pt" keep-together.within-page="auto"> <fo:leader leader-pattern="rule" leader-length="100%" rule-thickness="0.5pt" rule-style="solid" color="black"/> </fo:block> </fo:static-content> Somehow, I think there is no way to get that xsl:choose to work. I talked to the guy that worked on this before me. The original stylesheet had an empty block at the end of the document and that block had the id set to "last-page". The problem was that it cause a new empty page to be displayed in some cases, and it was taken out. My guess is that I am going to have to take it out and hope that the custodians and users do not mind just having a page number, instead of the total number of pages.

You can do a test for it in either xsl:when or xsl:if. For example: <xsl:if test="//@id='MyID'"> <!-- Do something (perhaps apply certain templates) --> </xsl:if> Of course, if you can determine the exact path (not always possible because elements may be nested at different depths and so on), you can use the actual path instead of //.
