Re: page-sequence conditional-page-master-reference criteria for last odd page

Hi,

When you set force-page-count="end-on-even" the last page will never be 
odd and that's why the page master "last_odd" is never selected. What 
you are looking for is page-position="last-1" but unfortunately FOP 
doesn't support that

Thanks,

Chris
