This works fine and dandy on documents greater than one page, but for one
page documents, I get:
Page 1 of 0.
This ought to be a bug in the FO processor. Report it to the vendor.
Is there anyway to get a total page count?
No, not in a standardized, processor independent way. As the element
name already denotes you can only get *page numbers*. The approach
you used would fail if there are multiple, independently numbered
page seqences in the document and in a few other cases. You processor
might offer a processor specific extension for getting the total number
of pages.
If not, is there anyway to test
what fo:page-number-citation returns
No.
(does it "return" anything?)
Not in a sense that you can use it at the XSLT stage. XSLT and FO
processing are conceptually independent processing steps.
