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
