RE: [xsl] In XSL FO: how do I repeat a piece of text other than the header or footer

["SANWAL, ABHISHEK (HP-Houston)" <abhishek.sanwal@xxxxxx>]

I apologize about the previous message. Please feel free to ignore it.
The marker was showing up because of an extra <xsl:value-of> present in
the XSL. Removed it and worked like a charm.

Of course, I have to see how the markers will behave in the multiple
page multi-chapter scenarios.

Thanks to all the "Grand Masters" here.

Abhishek,

I'm glad the picture is coming into focus.

At 07:01 PM 9/3/2003, you wrote:

I do not believe there are any limitations to where you may place either
an 
fo:marker or an fo:retrieve-marker. (What your formatter makes of them
is 
another matter.)

In the canonical case, the marker will go into your body flow and your 
retrieve-marker will go in your header (or footer). This is the kind of 
feature for which we sometimes see creative, unexpected applications,
however.

I think you need to try it out and see.

It'll work just like any other content with respect to this stuff --
where 
it overlaps or pushes content down will depend on other factors such as 
what region it's in.

The best way to know is to try it, however.

Cheers,
Wendell
