docbook-apps

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

  


Hi,


I've passed the last week on this problem, playing with same templates
and options, and unfortunately get the same results as you, with
DocBook 1.72 and fop 0.93... It seems that even when blank pages
doesn't appear in document, they are still counted in pages number and
even/odd succession...

Finaly, I got back to single-sided print.

Sorry to be unable to help you, if I find a solution, I'll make you
know, and if someone has a solution I'm interested too !


Marie.
