Re: xslfop footer

Hi rjk,

I'm still fairly new to XSL FO myself, but I think I see what is going on here.

You can have one 'fo:flow' per page-sequence.  This is for the body of
your text, and typically you place this in the 'xsl-region-body'
region.  To define content for any other region in a page-sequence,
you must do it as an 'fo:static-content', with the region indicated by
the value of the ''flow-name' attribute.  Here's my reworked example
of your sample:

<xsl:template match="/">
  <fo:root xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format">
    <fo:layout-master-set>
      <fo:simple-page-master master-name="page" page-height="11in"
      page-width="8.5in" margin-top="0cm"  margin-bottom="0cm" margin-left="0cm"
      margin-right="0cm">
        <fo:region-before/>
        <fo:region-body/>
        <fo:region-after extent="2cm"/>
      </fo:simple-page-master>
      <fo:page-sequence-master master-name="all">
        <fo:repeatable-page-master-alternatives>
          <fo:conditional-page-master-reference
master-reference="page" page-position="first"/>
        </fo:repeatable-page-master-alternatives>
      </fo:page-sequence-master>
    </fo:layout-master-set>
    <fo:page-sequence master-reference="all">
      <fo:static-content flow-name="xsl-region-after">
        <fo:page-number/><!-- the page number, for example -->
      </fo:static-content>
      <fo:flow flow-name="xsl-region-body">
        <fo:block>
          <!-- Regular flow of content here -->
        </fo:block>
      </fo:flow>
    </fo:page-sequence>
  </fo:root>
</xsl:template>

I think that 'fo:static-content' elements must come before 'fo:flow'
elements in the page sequences.

Hope this helps,
Chuck
