SUBJECT: [DOCBOOK-APPS] CHANGING THE PAGE MARGINS OF FO OUTPUT

HI EVERYONE,

I'M TRYING TO CHANGE THE MARGINS FOR ALL OF MY PAGES IN MY FO OUTPUT. I FOLLOWED THE INSTRUCTIONS IN BOB STAYTON'S EXCELLENT BOOK, ON THE FOLLOWING PAGE: HTTP://WWW.SAGEHILL.NET/DOCBOOKXSL/PRINTOUTPUT.HTML#LEFTRIGHTMARGINS.

MY COMMAND TO OUTPUT TO FO RESEMBLES THE FOLLOWING:

XSLTPROC --NONET --XINCLUDE --OUTPUT C:DOCBOOKDOCUMENTSDOCFILE.FO --STRINGPARAM PAGE.MARGIN.TOP 5MM --STRINGPARAM PAGE.MARGIN.BOTTOM 5MM
--STRINGPARAM PAGE.MARGIN.INNER 5MM --STRINGPARAM PAGE.MARGIN.OUTER 5MM --STRINGPARAM TARGET.DATABASE.DOCUMENT "DATABASE_FILE.XML" --STRINGPARAM TARGETS.FILENAME   "FILE.DB" --STRINGPARAM CURRENT.DOCID "INSTALLDOC" C:DOCBOOKDOCBOOK-XSLFOSABA.XSL  C:DOCBOOKDOCUMENTSDOCFILE.XML

REGARDLESS OF THE VALUES I ASSIGN TO THE PAGE MARGIN PARAMETERS, THE OUTPUT DISPLAYS THE SAME MARGINS.

NEXT, I TRIED ADDING THE PARAMETERS TO MY CUSTOMIZATION LAYER, AS FOLLOWS:

<XSL:PARAM NAME="PAGE.MARGIN.TOP">5MM<;/XSL:PARAM>
<XSL:PARAM NAME=" PAGE.MARGIN.BOTTOM"&GT;5MM</XSL:PARAM>;
<XSL:PARAM NAME="PAGE.MARGIN.INNER">5MM&LT;/XSL:PARAM>
<XSL:PARAM NAME="PAGE.MARGIN.OUTER">5MM&LT;/XSL:PARAM>

NOW, I DON'T SPECIFY THE PAGE MARGIN PARAMETERS ON THE COMMAND LINE, BUT STILL, THE PAGE MARGINS DON'T CHANGE. I'VE SEARCHED THIS NEWSGROUP AND ELSEWHERE, BUT HAVEN'T SPOTTED A SOLUTION.

I'M USING REVISION 1.69.1 OF THE STYLESHEETS.

COULD ANYONE SUGGEST MY NEXT STEP TO TROUBLESHOOT THIS ISSUE?

THANKS,
MARK
