There are just different page headers there. Each of our 40 testcases at www.renderx.com has a page header. > Dictionary-style headings are slightly exotic but they are just a special > case of running headings. Maybe it'l be possible to get the presize example of what could be easily rendered by 'typical day-to-day formatter' but not by XSL FO based formatter ? .xml input ( .xml content ) + expected PDF output looks like a good way to specify the usecase. Unfortunately without such a specification we may spend a very long time trying to guess what is considered to be a real problem with "runnig heads" for XSL FO formatter but not for 'typical day-to-day' formatter. > Note that XSL doesn't currently support running headings (at least not when > a section doesn't get its own page sequence), so if the focus is solely on > implementing XSL 1.0, you could get away with not supporting running > headings. The focus is to show that XSL FO is not a dead meat. Or to understand that it is dead meat - so it is not worth supporting it. > However, I guarantee that, if not the first, then the second person that > comes along wanting to produce a real book with XSL will wish your product > supported running headings. > If book publishing is not your focus, again, you could probably get away > with not supporting running headings. Book publishing is not our focus yet, but clean experiment with 'typical day-to-day formatters' and XSL FO formatter is.
