Use XSL-FO to Obtain a Page Number

This tip shows you how to use the fo:page-number and fo:page-number-citation elements to insert page numbers.

To insert page numbers in your page's footer, use fo:static-content:


<fo:static-content flow-name="xsl-region-after">
 <fo:block text-align="center" background-color="#CFD0FA">           
 Page [<fo:page-number/>] of [<fo:page-number-citation ref-id="last-  page" />]

To find out how many pages are in the document, simply insert a blank fo:block in the last fo:page-sequence, like this:


<fo:block id="last-page">
</fo:block>
