When starting a new page sequence, the xf:initial-page-number-in-document element determines if a blank page must be inserted before.
It has the same behaviour as fo:initial-page-number, the difference being that xf:initial-page-number-in-document is applied to the document's actual page count, regardless of the initial-page-number defined on the previous page sequence.
It has higher priority than fo:initial-page-number.
- type: enum
- values:
- auto
The initial folio number shall be set to 1 if no previous fo:page-sequence exists in the document.
If a preceding page-sequence exists, the initial folio number will be one greater than the last number for that sequence.
- auto-odd
A value is determined in the same manner as for "auto". If that value is an even number 1 is added.
- auto-even
A value is determined in the same manner as for "auto". If that value is an odd number 1 is added.
- multiple-of(x)
The number of pages will be a multiple of the "x" integer set as value.
Example of usage:
1. xf:initial-page-number-in-document="multiple-of(3)"
