b) Should not appendix be forced to start on a new page
Yes, IMO
Ok then why it does not and I have to add an extra processing instruction to force it
2. If appendix is not back-matter what are back matters
Perhaps a personal choice, but I'd be happy with appendix as bm.
So if it is back matter then <xsl.param column.count.back="2"/>
should make my appendix pages with two column format but it does not.
Any ideas ?
Saxon + Docbook-XSL 1.55.0 + XEP 2.77 is the trio I use
In fact, the XSL FO stylesheets do not treat an appendix in an article as back matter. There is a special template in fo/component.xsl with match="article/appendix" that processes the appendix as if it were a section. It doesn't start a new page-sequence. I think that is because the content model for article has appendix as a sibling of sect1, which differs from the book content model where appendix is a component (chapter, etc.).
An article is processed in fo as a single page-sequence (its template starts and ends a page-sequence, with all its content in between). You would have to customize the article template as well as the article/appendix template to stop the article page sequence and start a new page sequence for appendix.
You might be better off creating a book that contains an article and an appendix. Then the appendix will be treated as backmatter.
