Add blank page number citation to next page

[bonekrusher]

Hi,

I a have a specification that states:

"A blank page shall be assigned a number, but it will appear on the either the page before or after."

For example:

If page 35 was blank, page 36 page number would be:

36 (Blank 35)

Is there a way to do this with XSLT and FO?

Thanks

Bones

Hi List,

Does anyone have any ideas for my question? This one has me puzzled. Is it possible?

Thanks,

I don't think so.
A fo:page-number-citation requires an area to be on the blank page,  
which would make it not blank...

If useful, the page-number for the preceding page could probably be  
implemented as an extension attribute on fo:page-number, by means of  
which the author would be able to specify an offset (?)

<fo:page-number fox:offset="-1" />

But even then, unless I'm missing something, there would be no way to  
check for the condition of the previous page being blank during  
formatting.


Cheers

Thanks Andreas,

That was my conclusion.  I think you are correct, but I needed a second opinion from the list.

Thank you,

Phil
