Thanks to both of you. I kind of got what you were saying thanks to the
little sample code you wrote. Let's see if I can make it work for what I
want to do.
One last question about the above
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. 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.
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 ?
Thanks a million :)

the header or footer
Hi Abhishek,

Thanks for the help. I believe my point did not get across clearly.
My question is not the usage of the markers and the blocks around it.
My question is how would I use XSL to "modify" or "repopulate" markers
whenever the pages "hit" (or are incident upon) content from the "next"
chapter.
If a new chapter starts and a new marker is presented to the formatter,
it
knows how to do the modification on the pages. (That's what markers are
for.)
Your solution is as easy as:
<xsl:template match="chapter">
<fo:block>
<fo:marker marker-class-name="chapter-title">
<xsl:apply-templates select="title" mode="header"/>
</fo:marker>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</fo:block>
<xsl:template>
Each chapter gets a marker with its own title in it; the
fo:retrieve-marker
(which refers to this marker class), placed into the static content
(that
is, the header), then updates itself. That job is done by the formatter;
as
long as the marker is there, your XSLT doesn't have to do anything else.
? Any clearer or should I try once again :) ??
I'm not sure I got it wrong the first time. (I did mention the template
for
the chapter.) Why not look up markers and try them, using an example to
go by?
Or am I still missing the point of the question?
Cheers,
Wendell
