Hi Bob,
thanks for the quick reply.
My style.xsl looks as follows:
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" [... namespace declaration ...]>
<xsl:import href="docbook/fo/docbook.xsl" />
<xsl:param name="double.sided">1</xsl:param>
<xsl:param name="force.blank.pages" select="0"/>
</xsl:stylesheet>
In the pagesetup.xsl (line 2194-2214)
<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"/>
<xsl:if test="$force.blank.pages != 0">
<fo:conditional-page-master-reference master-reference="body-first"
page-position="first"/>
</xsl:if>
<fo:conditional-page-master-reference master-reference="body-odd"
odd-or-even="odd"/>
<fo:conditional-page-master-reference
odd-or-even="even">
<xsl:attribute name="master-reference">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="$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>
the page-position="first" should only be active, if the force.blank.pages parameter is not equals to zero.
For the prove of concept I didn't made any customization of the docbook stylesheets. I use the DocBook XSL Stylesheets 1.79.1, which could be found here:
