Re: [xsl] Printing a page header based on page content: Marker retrieval issue.

[Wendell Piez <wapiez@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Brenda,

Have you tried including a marker at the beginning of every new page
sequence with the correct information?

In other words, I think your approach is right: you just need to take
it further.

Cheers,
Wendell

this happens, the marker retrieved on page 2 of the 2-page sequence is
retrieved from what appears to be earlier page sequences in the book, with the
wrong work card static information.
