Re: Starting Initial Page Number on Page Three

Thanks for the info. However, I am not making the connection on how I can use
your suggested examples.

>But we haven't seen how the template rule is applied.
There is no special application for this template. The snippet/except that I
have posted is my template for "lang" and within this template I have
fo:page-sequence. I do not have an xsl:call-template or apply-templates for
this particular template.

Please let me know if I need to provide more information.

<===XML Snippet===>

<Product...>

    <lang langID="EN" language="English" fontFam="Arial">
      ...
    </lang>
    <lang langID="FR" language="Frangais" fontFam="Arial">
      ...
    </lang>
    <lang langID="DE" language="Deutsch" fontFam="Arial">
      ...
    </lang>
    <lang langID="IT" language="Italiano" fontFam="Arial">
      ...
    </lang>

</Product>

<===XSL-FO Snippet===>

<xsl:template match="lang">
   <fo:page-sequence master-reference="Insrt-body-page">


     <xsl:if test="position() = 1">
        <xsl:attribute name="initial-page-number">1</xsl:attribute>
      </xsl:if>

      <fo:static-content flow-name="lang-pg-ct">
      	 <fo:block text-align="center" font-size="{$p-font_Size}">
      	    <fo:page-number/>
      	    <fo:basic-link internal-destination="{generate-id(/)}">
      	       <fo:page-number-citation ref-id="{generate-id(/)}"/>
      	    </fo:basic-link>
      	 </fo:block>
      </fo:static-content>

      <fo:flow flow-name="Prod-pgbody" font-family="{$font_Fam}">
        <fo:block id="{generate-id(.)}">
	   <xsl:apply-templates/>
        </fo:block>
      </fo:flow>
   </fo:page-sequence>

</xsl:template>


Thanks in advance for your help.

Thanks,
Horace Burke
