Re: [xsl] how to trigger a new page sequence, depending on specific input conditions

I have read all of your messages and I still don't understand what
you're trying to do.  I suspect that this is because you're trying to
explain what you want in terms of how you've tried to solve it, which
isn't working.

Can you just tell us what you want the result to be?  Pretend you
don't know anything about XSL-FO or XSLT.  Just describe the outcome
from the point of view of an author who understands the DITA source.
A few short sentences should be adequate. :)
