Drew,

As your initial-page-number property is set to "auto", you should get the behavior you want.

Keep in mind, however, that FOP is open-source software, therefore subject to the usual limitations (and strengths) of that development model, and (more to the
point) still in early stages. I'm right now into a project trying its wings, and running into similar problems as yourself. One difficulty is that it's not really all that easy to tell what's implemented yet and what's not. Bugzilla, where its bugs are managed, seems particularly unfriendly to me -- FOP 0.19 doesn't even seem to be in it.


One strategy is to try the same stylesheet in another processor, to triangulate on your code to see if the problem is really there or in the processing. XEP is a very nice commercial XSL-FO engine, with a free crippleware version which should be perfectly sufficient for these purposes. AntennaHouse is said to be another nice one (although I haven't used it). Check out http://xmlsoftware.com/xslfo/ for links.

Good luck,
Wendell
