Re: conditional-page-master-reference and last()
Hi, Lou,
I got nowhere with my idea, unfortunately, because there's no element that
wraps the page sequences that call on the different masters. However, I
had another thought:
You must have a page-sequence that references the mainSequence master.
Have you tried adding a special at the end of that?
Then you can get the last page number with
I did this in the stylesheet I wrote for the XSLT spec a while back, but I
wasn't using conditional masters. You can find that project at
http://www.bryantcs.com/fop if you want to look at the stylesheet.
As you can tell, I'm pretty much just "thinking out loud", so any given
idea I have may not work out well.

The union of the two page sets sounds interesting - if you have an
example,
could you please post it. I would like to take a look at implemting it.
Right now, I'm trying to convince the requestor to accept that only the
last page will have a message (something like "end of pages") and then
simply putting either a text block or a footnote at the end of the flow.
If they don't accept this, I'll be posting again for more help.
Thanks,

Hi, Lou,
last() is working correctly (getting the last node in a node set), but
that's not much comfort.
My only thought on this one is to apply last() to the union of the two
page sets. Unfortunately, I don't have time to generate a test case and
fiddle with it. Maybe you can use the idea, though.

Re: conditional-page-master-reference and last()
Roland:
I tried this with no luck. My doc layout is a bit "bizarre" which results
in some pages never getting the marker data. This, in combination with a
retrieve-position of "last-ending-within-page" and a retrieve-boundary of
"document," throws a nasty java exception. I want to go back and see if I
can get this working, but my current time restrictions will not permit it.
Thanks for the reply,
Lou

Louis,
I beleive it is not implemented in FOP.
Use fo:marker instead for this instead, there are plenty of examples in
the list archive and your fop/examples directory, sorry don't have time
to dig them up right now.
Cheers,
Roland
