To answer the question in your subject: no ... but you don't need to from what I interpret from your post.

I am hoping to clarify what I have gathered from elsewhere with regard to limitations of fo:marker.

Not sure what you classify about markers as limitations.

I am producing a report that is broken down into classrooms, each classroom has a number (n) - there are a list of names under each classroom. Occasionally the list of names runs over onto the next page of the document. I need to add the text 'Classroom (n) Continued' at the top of the next page only if this happens.

The design pattern is as follows:

  <static-content ...>
     <retrieve-marker .../>
  </static-content>
  ...
  <xsl:for-each select="classroom">
    <block>
      <marker ...>Classroom (n) Continued</marker>
      <block>...</block>
      <block>...</block>
      <block>...</block>
      <block>...</block>
    </block>
    <block>
      <marker ...></marker>
    </block>
  </xsl:for-each>

That way the marker is ready to be used if a page breaks in the middle of the blocks, but if all of the blocks fit, the following marker "clears out" the "continued text" and it doesn't show at the top.

I hope this helps.
