XSLT element usage on textual outut

Hi all,

I am trying to produce a textual report from a XML data source and using
XSLT with Xalan.
I have some of the formatting problems when writing the XSL stylesheet,
please advise and help.

XML data source:

<Report>
     <Header>
          <Title> Sales Report </Title>
     </Header>
     <SalesRec>
          <ID>0001</ID>
          <Code>AC001</Code>
          <Name>Product A</Name>
          <Qty>10000</Qty>
          <Cost>10000.00</Cost>
     </SalesRec>
     <SalesRec>
          <ID>0002</ID>
          <Code>BC001</Code>
          <Name>Product B</Name>
          <Qty>10000</Qty>
          <Cost>10000.00</Cost>
     </SalesRec>
     <SalesRec>
          <ID>0003</ID>
          <Code>CC001</Code>
          <Name>Product C</Name>
          <Qty>10000</Qty>
          <Cost>10000.00</Cost>
     </SalesRec>
     <Footer>**** End of Report ****</Footer>
</Report>


Expected Textual Output:

               Sales Report              ID: 0001
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Code : AC001        Name : Product A
Qty : 10000
Cost : 100000.00

<page break>
               Sales Report              ID: 0002
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Code : AC001        Name : Product B
Qty : 10000
Cost : 100000.00

<page break>
               Sales Report              ID: 0003
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Code : CC001        Name : Product C
Qty : 10000
Cost : 100000.00

     **** End of Report ****


XSL stylesheet:

<xsl:stylesheet>
     <xsl:template match="/">
          <xsl:apply-template select="*"/>
     </xsl:template>

     <xsl:tempate match="Header">
          <!--- Q1. How to copy "title" text element in variable and can be
reused to "SalesRec" template,
          please give sample code -->
          .......
          .......
     </xsl:template>

     <xsl:template match="SalesRec">
          <!-- Q2. How to use stored "title" text in Header, please give
sample code-->
          <!-- Q3. How to insert page break char -->
          .......
          .......
     </xsl:template>

     <xsl:template match="Footer">
          <xsl:value-of select="."/>
     </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

Thanks in advance.
