RE: XSL-FO: Accessing nodes by page

Hi All,

I am currently trying to publish an XML doc in PDF. This manual is a print
on paper and revised often. This means that the contents of the page would
dictate what's in the footer (date of revision and revision number).

Has anyone any advice on how to achieve this. I am using the apache FOP
processor.

Thanks,

Phil

Subject:  XSL-FO: Accessing nodes by page

Hello List,

According to
http://www.dpawson.co.uk/xsl/sect3/pagelayout.html#d12370e288, I quote: 

"...pagination is done after the transformation, in an independent step.
Therefore there is no way to get hold of the number of prescriptions
laid out on a certain page in the transformation.  The layout process
itself lacks higher level functionality like counting, so no easy
solution here either."

Is this still true?  Is there no way to access nodes by page (for
instance, from a footer template) without forcing page breaks?

Regards,

Shaun McDonald
