Re: XSL-FO: Exclude page numbering on some pages

Hi Ken,

Thanks for the quick response.  So basically I should:

1) Create a new simple page master for the revision pages
        <fo:simple-page-master 
master-name="RevPage"></fo:simple-page-master>

2) Create a new page master sequence:
        <fo:page-sequence-master master-name="RevIndex">
                <fo:single-page-master-reference 
master-reference="RevPage">
                </fo:single-page-master-reference>
        </for:page-master-sequence-master>
3) Create a new fo:page-sequence for the RevIndex

Let me know if I am on the right track or not.

Yes, create a new page-sequence-master with your required pagination
properties for it and use it for your revision index.  In this new
page-sequence-master, use perimeter regions without page numbers.

One is not obliged to use the same page-sequence-master for the
entire document ... just create as many page-sequence elements as you
need to use page-sequence-masters.  Each one starts a new page.

I hope this helps.
