Re: [docbook-apps] rules for different classes

Hi Guy,

I checked the below with one of my books using the 1.65.0 stylesheets:

Copy the "header.table" template from fo/pagesetup.xsl to your
customisation layer and add a <xsl:if> which checks whether the
$sequence has not the value "first":

-------------------------------------------------

<xsl:template name="header.table">
  <xsl:param name="pageclass" select="''"/>
  <xsl:param name="sequence" select="''"/>
  <xsl:param name="gentext-key" select="''"/>

  <xsl:variable name="candidate">
    <fo:table table-layout="fixed" width="100%">


<!-- GUY: xsl:if added -->
      <xsl:if test="$sequence != 'first'">
        <xsl:call-template name="head.sep.rule"/>
      </xsl:if>

Nearly the same as above but this time the "footer.table" template in
fo/pagesetup.xsl should be copied and altered:

--------------------------------------
<xsl:template name="footer.table">
  <xsl:param name="pageclass" select="''"/>
  <xsl:param name="sequence" select="''"/>
  <xsl:param name="gentext-key" select="''"/>

[...]

  <xsl:variable name="candidate">
    <fo:table table-layout="fixed" width="100%">

<!-- GUY: xsl:if added--->

      <xsl:if test="$sequence = 'first'">
        <xsl:call-template name="foot.sep.rule">
          <xsl:with-param name="pageclass" select="$pageclass"/>
          <xsl:with-param name="sequence" select="$sequence"/>
          <xsl:with-param name="gentext-key" select="$gentext-key"/>
        </xsl:call-template>
      </xsl:if>
[...]
---------------------------------------

Hope this helps ...
