Fo question

The handling of the part element in fo is different from
other division 
type elements because the children of part (chapter,
appendix, etc.) 
generate page sequences, and you cannot nest page-sequence
in XSL-FO.  The 
part template must generate only the part divider pages. 
This requires the 
template handling part to generate whatever page-sequences
it needs for its 
titlepage, partintro, and TOC, close the last page-sequence,
and then 
apply-templates to its other children to allow them to
generate their own 
page-sequences.  That's different from the nesting of FO
elements that is 
done for almost all other elements.

So the part templates are a bit confusing at first,
especially since the 
handling is different if there is a partintro present.  If
you don't use a 
partintro, then you can replace the original part template
from 
fo/division.xsl:

<xsl:template match="part">
  <xsl:if test="not(partintro)">
    <xsl:apply-templates select="."
mode="part.titlepage.mode"/>
    <xsl:call-template
name="generate.part.toc"/>
  </xsl:if>
  <xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>

with this customization:

<xsl:template match="part">
  <xsl:if test="not(partintro)">
    <xsl:apply-templates select="."
mode="part.titlepage.mode">
      <xsl:with-param
name="additional.content">
        <xsl:call-template
name="division.toc"/>
      </xsl:with-param>
    </xsl:apply-templates>
  </xsl:if>
  <xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>

The "part.titlepage.mode" template is used to
generate the page sequence 
for the part title page. Normally it calls generate.part.toc
after that 
page sequence, and generate.part.toc creates its own
page-sequence too, 
which is why the toc was on a separate odd-numbered page.

The customization uses the "additional.content"
parameter to put the 
division.toc (which is what generate.part.toc used to create
the actual 
TOC) on the titlepage itself, and does not call
generate.part.toc after the 
titlepage.

If you are using a partintro, you'll need to trace through
that template to 
see where to apply this customization.
