 I know that fo:retrieve-marker does not return any value during xsl transformation and it is only a formatting instruction for the formatting engine to interpret, but i'm having problems generating dynamic running heads that are like dictionary styled. I have a running head that list the first article title that appeared in the page and the last article that appeared in the page. And if i have pages like these: +--------------+ +--------------+ +--------------+ +--------------+ +title 1 + +some text + +some text + +some text + +some text + +some text + +some text + +some text + +some text + +title 3 + +some text + +title 4 + +some text + +some text + +some text + +some text + +title 2 + +some text + +some text + +some text + +some text + +some text + +some text + +some text + +some text + +some text + +some text + +some text + +some text + +some text + +some text + +some text + +---page 1---+ +---page 2---+ +---page 3---+ +---page 4---+ then i need to have headers like these: page 1: title 1 - title 2 page 2: title 2 - title 3 page 3: title 3 page 4: title 3 - title 4 but so far what i get is this: page 1: title 1 - title 2 page 2: title 2 - title 3 page 3: title 3 - title 3 page 4: title 3 - title 4 my sample xml looks like this: <root>
<article>
<head>title 1</title>
<p>some text</p>
...
</article>
...
</root>my xsl looks like this: <xsl:template match="/"> <fo:root xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format"> <fo:layout-master-set> <fo:simple-page-master master-name="simple" page-height="11.69in" page-width="8.27in" margin-left="1in" margin-right="1in"> <fo:region-body margin-top="1in" margin-bottom="1in"/> <fo:region-before extent="1in" padding-top="0.5in"/> </fo:simple-page-master> </fo:layout-master-set> <fo:page-sequence master-reference="simple"> <fo:static-content flow-name="xsl-region-before"> <fo:block border-bottom-style="solid" border-bottom-width="1pt"> <fo:retrieve-marker retrieve-class-name="heading-start" retrieve-boundary="page-sequence" retrieve-position="first-including-carryover"/> <fo:retrieve-marker retrieve-class-name="heading-end" retrieve-boundary="page-sequence" retrieve-position="last-starting-within-page"/> </fo:block> </fo:static-content> <fo:flow flow-name="xsl-region-body"> <xsl:apply-templates select="root/article"/> </fo:flow> </fo:page-sequence> </fo:root> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="article"> <fo:block> <fo:marker marker-class-name="heading-start"><xsl:value-of select="head"/></fo:marker> <fo:marker marker-class-name="heading-end"><xsl:value-of select="concat(' - ', head)"/></fo:marker> <xsl:apply-templates/> </fo:block> </xsl:template> I need to know when a retrieve-markers are equal or from the same article, is this possible? if not is there a work around for this? Thanks, -- *Jeff Sese*
