Hi, Lou,

I got nowhere with my idea, unfortunately, because there's no element that 
wraps the page sequences that call on the different masters. However, I 
had another thought:

You must have a page-sequence that references the mainSequence master. 
Have you tried adding a special at the end of that?

<fo:page-sequence master-reference="mainSequence">
  <fo:flow flow-name="mainFlow"
    <!-- content goes here -->
    <fo:block line-height="0" id="end"/>
  </fo:flow>
</fo:page>

Then you can get the last page number with <fo:page-number-citation 
ref-id="end"/>

I did this in the stylesheet I wrote for the XSLT spec a while back, but I 
wasn't using conditional masters. You can find that project at 
http://www.bryantcs.com/fop if you want to look at the stylesheet.

As you can tell, I'm pretty much just "thinking out loud", so any given 
idea I have may not work out well.

Jay:

The union of the two page sets sounds interesting - if you have an 
example,
could you please post it.  I would like to take a look at implemting it.

Right now, I'm trying to convince the requestor to accept that only the
last page will have a message (something like "end of pages") and then
simply putting either a text block or a footnote at the end of the flow.
If they don't accept this, I'll be posting again for more help.

Thanks,
Lou

Hi, Lou,

last() is working correctly (getting the last node in a node set), but
that's not much comfort.

My only thought on this one is to apply last() to the union of the two
page sets. Unfortunately, I don't have time to generate a test case and
fiddle with it. Maybe you can use the idea, though.
