I apologize about the previous message. Please feel free to ignore it.
The marker was showing up because of an extra <xsl:value-of> present in
the XSL. Removed it and worked like a charm.
Of course, I have to see how the markers will behave in the multiple
page multi-chapter scenarios.
Thanks to all the "Grand Masters" here.

Subject: RE: [xsl] In XSL FO: how do I repeat a piece of text other than
the header or footer
Abhishek,
I'm glad the picture is coming into focus.
At 07:01 PM 9/3/2003, you wrote:
Does a marker have to be written into a Header or Footer region (true
or
false)? Can it be a part of the "xsl-body" region? Because that is kind
of the "fee' I am getting from the FO example of RenderX.
I do not believe there are any limitations to where you may place either
an
fo:marker or an fo:retrieve-marker. (What your formatter makes of them
is
another matter.)
In the canonical case, the marker will go into your body flow and your
retrieve-marker will go in your header (or footer). This is the kind of
feature for which we sometimes see creative, unexpected applications,
however.
Of course, I
may be wrong as I have yet to include the marker stuff into the bigger
picture that I am trying to paint.
I think you need to try it out and see.
And if it does not have to be in the header/footer if it gets placed in
some other area then does it "OVERLAP" on other content or "PUSH" the
other content down in the body-flow region of the paginated document ?
It'll work just like any other content with respect to this stuff --
where
it overlaps or pushes content down will depend on other factors such as
what region it's in.
The best way to know is to try it, however.
Cheers,
Wendell
