Subject: RE: [xsl] Index with multiple <page-sequence>'s From: "Goettel, Christopher D" <christopher-goettel@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 10 Aug 2010 16:36:56 -0500 |
If it helps, I'm using Apache FOP 0.95 and it may be a bug... Within the document, the page numbers are working correctly. Page sequence to page sequence, the numbering is correct (pages 1-500) in the outputted pdf. I also know that the identifier is unique because when I do <fo:page-sequence id="english"> and then reference it using <fo:page-number-citation ref-id="english"> (from another <fo:page-sequence>), it generates a page-number correctly. However, if I instead insert an <fo:block id="english"> (or <fo:inline id="english">) and remove the id from the <fo:page-sequence>, <fo:page-number-citation ref-id="english"> no longer generates a page number. I get an "WARNING: Unresolved id reference 'english' found." The problem is referenced here, but I can't believe there's not a work around: http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/fo.html (scroll down to "Total Document Pages") -Chris ________________________________________ From: Wendell Piez [wapiez@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, August 10, 2010 2:51 PM To: xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: [xsl] Index with multiple <page-sequence>'s Chris, At 03:39 PM 8/10/2010, you wrote: >I'm putting together a 500 page academic catalog where each of the >60 departments has it's own title page and subsequent content.

I've also tried <fo:inline id="english"> but no luck. What you describe should work: using page-number-citation/@ref-id you should be able to point to any identifier you have generated, on anything. What are you seeing that tells you it's not working? You might confirm that your identifiers (e.g. 'english') are actually unique in your FO instance. Also, if your page numbering isn't working, the generated references won't be right either -- so in your arrangement, you shouldn't be restarting page numbering with each new sequence. Have you confirmed that the numbering is correct? >I know that I can put an id on the <page-sequences>'s themselves and >then reference them, but in this case, I need to reference material >inside the text (i.e. not just the first or last page of a page-sequence). That is perfectly normal and the technology is designed to let you do it.
