Ahmed HADDADSubject: Alternate page masters independently from odd or even page number
Author: Ahmed HADDAD

Hello!

I am using FOP 0.93 / Windows XP / Jre 1.6.
My problem is the following: I have a big edition with many page-sequences. One of them is detinated to be printed on a recto-verso preprinted formular.

So the (right?) solution is to use some repeatable-page-sequence-master-alternative. But it seems that it does not work as expected:

For example look at the following page-sequence-master:

<fo:root xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format">
<fo:layout-master-set>

<fo:simple-page-master master-name="model0" page-height="10cm" page-width="15cm">
<fo:region-body margin="2cm"></fo:region-body>
<fo:region-before extent="2cm"></fo:region-before>
</fo:simple-page-master>

<fo:simple-page-master master-name="model1" page-height="10cm" page-width="15cm">
<fo:region-body margin="2cm"></fo:region-body>
<fo:region-before extent="2cm" region-name="xsl-region-before-model1"></fo:region-before>
</fo:simple-page-master>

<fo:simple-page-master master-name="model2" page-height="10cm" page-width="15cm">
<fo:region-body margin="2cm"></fo:region-body>
<fo:region-before extent="2cm" region-name="xsl-region-before-model2"></fo:region-before>
</fo:simple-page-master>

<fo:simple-page-master master-name="model3" page-height="10cm" page-width="15cm">
<fo:region-body margin="2cm"></fo:region-body>
<fo:region-before extent="2cm" region-name="xsl-region-before-model3"></fo:region-before>
</fo:simple-page-master>

<fo:page-sequence-master master-name="model">
<fo:repeatable-page-master-alternatives>
<fo:conditional-page-master-reference master-reference="model1" page-position="first"></fo:conditional-page-master-reference>
<fo:conditional-page-master-reference master-reference="model2" odd-or-even="odd"></fo:conditional-page-master-reference>
<fo:conditional-page-master-reference master-reference="model3" odd-or-even="even"></fo:conditional-page-master-reference>
</fo:repeatable-page-master-alternatives>
</fo:page-sequence-master>
</fo:layout-master-set>

<fo:page-sequence master-reference="model0">
<fo:flow flow-name="xsl-region-body" line-height="2cm">
<fo:block>Some text</fo:block>
<fo:block>Some text</fo:block>
</fo:flow>
</fo:page-sequence>

<fo:page-sequence master-reference="model">

<fo:static-content flow-name="xsl-region-before-model1">
<fo:block>Model 1</fo:block>
</fo:static-content>
<fo:static-content flow-name="xsl-region-before-model2">
<fo:block>Model 2</fo:block>
</fo:static-content>
<fo:static-content flow-name="xsl-region-before-model3">
<fo:block>Model 3</fo:block>
</fo:static-content>

<fo:flow flow-name="xsl-region-body" line-height="2cm">
<fo:block>Some text</fo:block>
<fo:block>Some text</fo:block>
<fo:block>Some text</fo:block>
<fo:block>Some text</fo:block>
<fo:block>Some text</fo:block>
<fo:block>Some text</fo:block>
<fo:block>Some text</fo:block>
<fo:block>Some text</fo:block>
<fo:block>Some text</fo:block>
<fo:block>Some text</fo:block>
<fo:block>Some text</fo:block>
<fo:block>Some text</fo:block>
<fo:block>Some text</fo:block>
<fo:block>Some text</fo:block>
<fo:block>Some text</fo:block>
<fo:block>Some text</fo:block>
<fo:block>Some text</fo:block>
<fo:block>Some text</fo:block>
<fo:block>Some text</fo:block>
<fo:block>Some text</fo:block>
<fo:block>Some text</fo:block>
<fo:block>Some text</fo:block>
<fo:block>Some text</fo:block>
<fo:block>Some text</fo:block>
<fo:block>Some text</fo:block>
<fo:block>Some text</fo:block>
<fo:block>Some text</fo:block>
<fo:block>Some text</fo:block>
<fo:block>Some text</fo:block>
<fo:block>Some text</fo:block>
<fo:block>Some text</fo:block>
<fo:block>Some text</fo:block>
<fo:block>Some text</fo:block>
</fo:flow>
</fo:page-sequence>
</fo:root>

Depending on generating or not the page "model0", the repeatable-sequence-master will be model0 - (model2, model3) - (model2, model3)...
or model0 - (model3, model2) - (model3, model2)... .
But the goal is to have always the same order.

May be I am not using the right repeat-alternative sequence? Or there is another structure which fits better my needs?
May be this can not be done in XSL-FO?
May be it is a FOP bug?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,
your question is too FOP-specific for this forum; have you tried asking to one of the mailing lists listed at http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/maillist.html?

Hello,

In fact, it is an XSL-FO general question. (And I am using Stylus in my devs...)

By the way, answer is no. Because in XSL-FO 1.1, alternating pages works by examining criteria odd-or-even, blank-or-not-blank, page-position... These are restrictive criteria in my case.

So, if someone can tell me if there's somme extension (for FOP or any other rendering [free] products) that allow to alternate simple page-masters, I would be very interested!

Thanks for any help.
