Hi all - sorry if this is in the wrong spot, but I couldn't find anything specifically on XSLFO - if anyone knows of a forum or list for XSLFO please let me know.

I've been tinkering with the "dita2fo-shell.xsl" stylesheet that comes with the DITA open toolkit in order to produce a PDF from DITA XML source. I am pasting some of the stylesheet code below - you will see that the book's title and page numbers are printed on the headers and footers for each page, aligned left. Basically, I am trying to get even page numbers to stay aligned left, while odd page numbers should align right. In other words, I need the stylesheet to recognize if it is processing an even or odd page and then call the appropriate template.

<xsl:template name="define-page-masters-dita"> <fo:layout-master-set>
      <fo:page-sequence-master master-name="chapter-master">
        <fo:repeatable-page-master-alternatives>

<fo:conditional-page-master-reference page-position="first" odd-or-even="odd" master-reference="common-page"></fo:conditional-page-master-reference>

<fo:conditional-page-master-reference page-position="first" odd-or-even="even" master-reference="common-page"></fo:conditional-page-master-reference>

<fo:conditional-page-master-reference page-position="rest" odd-or-even="odd" master-reference="common-page"></fo:conditional-page-master-reference>
