XSL-FO Page Numbering

[booher]

I need help generating a PDF output where the page numbering restarts at 1 with every new chapter in a document. So the output would look something like 1-1, 1-2, 1-3,..., 2-1, 2-2, 2-3,...

I'm able to capture the chapter number and generate the "1-"; however, all my attempts generate consecutive page numbering (1-1, 1-2, 1-3, 2-4, 2-5, ...).

I suspect I'm not doing something correctly in setting up either the fo:page-sequence-master or the fo:page-sequence.

Could someone please enlighten me with some general guidance?

Thanks.

I've not yet worked with xsl-fo but a quick look at the specs hint that maybe the formatting-properties (CSS) can help you there. especially this one.

Thanks for the suggestion. I'm already familiar with initial-page-number. My challenge is trying to reset the number for each new chapter. My fo:page-sequence looks like this:

<fo:page-sequence master-reference="body-page" initial-page-number="1" force-page-count="even" >

<fo:static-content flow-name="odd-before">
<xsl:call-template name="odd-header-content"/>
</fo:static-content>
<fo:static-content flow-name="even-before">
<xsl:call-template name="even-header-content"/>
</fo:static-content>
<fo:static-content flow-name="odd-after">
<xsl:call-template name="odd-footer-content"/>
</fo:static-content>
<fo:static-content flow-name="even-after">
<xsl:call-template name="even-footer-content"/>
</fo:static-content>

<fo:flow flow-name="xsl-region-body" font-size="10pt" >

<xsl:apply-templates select="dita/topic[@audience != $att_suppress or not(@audience)]"/>

</fo:flow>
</fo:page-sequence>

But, this creates one long continuous sequence of pages. How do I restart page numbering for each new chapter?
