Re: [xsl] Unwanted blank pages

[<Anders.Svensson@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Ok, I see... I took over the stylesheet from someone else who had been
working on it, and it was already there. I tried to find information
about it but didn't notice that what was said was to put it on the
page-sequence, not the page-sequence-master! All the names for the
layout-master-set are so confusingly similar :-)

Thanks, I'll try this and get back if I still have problems and need to
post a full example!

Regards,

Anders

In your snippet you have these attributes on <page-sequence-master>
when they actually belong on <page-sequence>:

Though I was surprised to read you had a blank page between the two
sequences when the second sequence did not ask for an odd-page number
start.  Which processor are you using?

I hope this helps.

p.s. it also helps with diagnostics if you examined or posted the
resulting XSL-FO from your stylesheet rather than the stylesheet
itself.  Then you can post a completely running instance that
volunteers can work with when they see something out of place.
