    Hi,
    With initial-page-number="auto" and force-page-count="no-force", you are
    close.
    But the effect you are seeing is coming from the page-sequence-master,
    which selects the "odd" page-master for the page-position="first" selector.
    For example:

    <fo:page-sequence-master master-name="body">
    <fo:repeatable-page-master-alternatives>
    <fo:conditional-page-master-reference master-reference="blank"
    blank-or-not-blank="blank"/>

    <fo:conditional-page-master-reference master-reference="body-odd"
    odd-or-even="odd"/>
    <fo:conditional-page-master-reference
    odd-or-even="even">
    <xsl:attribute name="master-reference">
    <xsl:choose>
    <xsl:when test="$double.sided != 0">body-even</xsl:when>
    <xsl:otherwise>body-odd</xsl:otherwise>
    </xsl:choose>
    </xsl:attribute>
    </fo:conditional-page-master-reference>
    </fo:repeatable-page-master-alternatives>
    </fo:page-sequence-master>

    In this example, I commented out the problem. With that line commented out,
    an even-numbered first page will get the "even" (left) page-master.

    If you copy this big template to your customization layer and comment out
    those references to page-position="first", then it will work.

thanks too !

    
But I have now another question related to this : I made my footers to
be "face-to-face" with even/odd sequence to have page number on the out
side, then     I
have page number on the left for even pages and on the right for odd
pages.  The first pages where
always odd so I placed the page number on the right, but now I would
like to have it in function of the side it is...
    
Is it possible now to detect
when first is an even or odd page to place the page number on the good
side ?

    
thanks in advance,
    
Marie.

                                              odd-or-even="odd"/>
        <fo:conditional-page-master-reference

    Hi,

Last December I thought I had solved the problem of unwanted pages in
double-sided output. However, it has been pointed out to me that in
suppressing blank pages between chapters and other book sections, the
right/left page sequence is screwed up... i.e. there are two right-side
pages in a row. Further more, page numbers are skipped. So I've tried
various combinations of modifying the initial.page.count and
force.page.count templates. Here is what I observe:

-------------------------------------------
initial.page.number: auto

force.page.count:
end-on-even: Blank pages

auto:      No blank pages
     Page numbers skipped
     Right/Left sequence bad

no-force:    No blank pages
     Page numbers correct
     Right/Left sequence bad

--------------------------------------------
initial.page.number: auto-odd

force.page.count:

end-on-even: Blank pages

auto:      Blank pages except
     no blank last page

no-force:    No blank pages
     Page numbers skipped
     Right/Left sequence bad

--------------------------------------------

I tried this with docbook-xsl-snapshot from 2007-02-09 and fop SVN.
(I haven't used more recent docbook-xsl-snapshots as at some point
procedures got messed up.) Any ideas on what I can do to suppress blank
pages and have the right/left sequence correct? Is there some
combination I am missing?

Thanks,

Tav
