Summary: repeatable-page-master-alternatives incomplete
Product: XSLFO
Version: 1.1
Platform: PC
OS/Version: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2

Para 6.4.1.1

The fo:repeatable-page-master-reference specifies a repetition of a single
page-master. The fo:repeatable-page-master-alternatives specifies the
repetition of a set of page-masters. Which of the alternative page-masters is
used at a given point in the sub-sequence is conditional and may depend on
whether the page number is odd or even, is the first page, is the last page, or
is blank.

Suggest add 'non-blank' to the list.

To take your request to its logical conclusion, the paragraph would also have
to list 'only page' and 'neither first nor last page', at which point I suggest
that it becomes too much information for what is only an introduction.

Section 6.4.12, fo:conditional-page-master-reference [1], describes the
constraints in detail, with more detail again in the definition of the
applicable properties.

The paragraph is likely to be revised in XSL 2.0 and probably made less
specific because there will be more ways to specify alternatives [2] and
listing all of those would really make too much detail for an introduction.
