Hi Bob,
This works.
Except that for the column that needs the whole space to itself, I
needed to use the value:
<xsl:text>proportional-column-width(1)</xsl:text>
rather than just:
<xsl:text>1</xsl:text>
Thanks a lot for the help!
Regards,
Øystein

Hi,
It is not possible to do what you want with just stylesheet
parameters. You would need to copy the template named 'footer.table'
from fo/pagesetup.xsl to your customization layer and customize it.
In that template, you will find three calls to the template named
'header.footer.width', which is a utility template that extracts one
of the three number values from the 'footer.column.widths' parameter.
In your customization, you would use an xsl:choose statement to
override the numbers for your special case. The 'footer.table'
template has three params of its own that are populated when it is
called. The template param named 'sequence' will contain a value of
'first', 'odd', 'even', or 'blank', depending on the current page.
For example, for the first column, use:
<fo:table-column column-number="1">
<xsl:attribute name="column-width">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="$sequence = 'first'">
<xsl:text>0</xsl:text>
<xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:call-template name="header.footer.width">
...
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:attribute>
</fo:table-column>
Do similar overrides for the other two columns.
The reason you cannot just customize the utility template
'header.footer.width' is because it is not passed the 'sequence'
param, although it probably should be to enable such customization.

Subject: [docbook-apps] Different values for footer.column.widths on
first page and rest of document?
Hi,
I have managed to implement many customizations to my FO
customization layer for PDF output, using Bob Stayton's excellent
book and this list as reference.
Now I am stuck on the footers in a doc with <article> as root. I want
the footer content on the first (front) page to be different than the
rest of the pages, and that I accomplished already (see below). But
for the first page footer to be correctly formatted, I need to use
different column widths for it compared to the rest:
First page needs this value: <xsl:param name="footer.column.widths">0
1 0</xsl:param>
Other pages need this value: <xsl:param name="footer.column.widths">1
1 1</xsl:param>
Is it possible to do this? I am a newbie when it comes to xsl
templates and defining parameter values in them, so a bit confused.
This is because I want a legal notice on the front, and name, page
number and url on the rest. It works with these template "hacks",
except I can't figure out how to get the footer column widths into
conditional statements:
<xsl:when test="$sequence = 'first'">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="$double.sided = 0 and $position='left'">
<!-- <fo:page-number/> -->
</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="$double.sided = 0 and $position = 'center'">
<fo:block text-align="justify">
<!-- OKL: Insert legal notice in the footer of the first page -->
<xsl:apply-templates select="//legalnotice[1]"
mode="article.titlepage.recto.auto.mode"/>
</fo:block>
</xsl:when>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:when>
(I have customized the title page xsl to make the above work)
.....
<!-- ********** OKL: Single sided, doc body ***************** -->
<xsl:when test="$double.sided = 0 and $position='left'">
<!-- OKL: Insert company name -->
<xsl:apply-templates select="//corpauthor[1]"/>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="$double.sided = 0 and $position='center'">
<!-- OKL: Insert page number -->
<fo:page-number/>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="$double.sided = 0 and $position='right'">
<!-- OKL: Insert url -->
<xsl:value-of select="'www.xxxxxxxxxx.com'"/>
</xsl:when>
I am using DocBook 4.5 with XSL/FO version 1.73.2
Thanks for any tips...
