substracting two page number citations?

[Jean-François Michaud]

Hello all,

I need to generate (SHEET X of Y) in titles for figures contained in a
section (I already generate page A of B at the bottom right of every
page in the document).

Is there a way for example to substract 2 page number citations? That
would solve part of my problem. Or is there any other way of doing
this?

Here is an snippet of the XSLT I'm working with:

<fo:block start-indent="0pt">
<fo:table table-layout="fixed"
keep-together.within-page="always">
<fo:table-column column-width="proporti onal-column-width(1)"/>

<fo:table-body>
<fo:table-row>
<fo:table-cell border-color="black" border-style="solid"
border-width="0.4pt" height="0.5in">
<fo:block keep-with-next="always" font-weight="bold">
<xsl:text>FIGUR E </xsl:text><xsl:v alue-of
select="@figure no" />
<xsl:text>: </xsl:text><xsl:a pply-templates
select="./Heading" mode="Bold-Inline"/>
</fo:block>
</fo:table-cell>
</fo:table-row>
<fo:table-row>
<fo:table-cell display-align="center" border-color="black"
border-style="solid" border-width="0.4pt" height="8.0in">
<fo:block>
<fo:block id="first-sheet{@figureno }"
line-height="0"></fo:block>
<xsl:apply-templates />
<xsl:if test="following ::node()!='GRAP HIC' or
following::node ()!='Descriptio n'">
<fo:block id="last-sheet{@figureno }"
line-height="0"></fo:block>
</xsl:if>
</fo:block>
</fo:table-cell>
</fo:table-row>
<fo:table-row>
<fo:table-cell display-align="after" border-color="black"
border-style="solid" border-width="0.4pt" height="0.45in" >
<fo:block keep-with-next="always" font-weight="bold"
text-align="center">
<xsl:text>FIGUR E </xsl:text><xsl:v alue-of
select="@figure no" />
<xsl:text>: </xsl:text><xsl:a pply-templates
select="./Heading" mode="Bold-Inline"/>
</fo:block>
<fo:block font-weight="bold" text-align="center">
<xsl:text>(SHEE T </xsl:text><fo:pa ge-number-citation
ref-id="first-sheet{@figureno }" line-height="0" /> OF
<xsl:variable
name="figure_fi rst_page_var">< fo:page-number-citation
ref-id="first-sheet{@figureno }"/></xsl:variable>
<xsl:variable
name="figure_la st_page_var"><f o:page-number-citation
ref-id="last-sheet{@figureno }"/></xsl:variable>
<xsl:variable name="last_shee t_var"
select="$figure _last_page_var - $figure_first_p age_var"/>
<xsl:value-of select="$last_s heet_var"/>
<xsl:text>)</xsl:text>
</fo:block>
</fo:table-cell>
</fo:table-row>
</fo:table-body>
</fo:table>
</fo:block>
