Creating Headers and Footers Dynamically

["W. Eliot Kimber" <eliot@xxxxxxxxxx>]

All,

I'm trying to figure out how to create headings by grabbing content from
subelements of the root, but my initial approach didn't appear to work
(nothing showed up in the header/foot when literal text does work.  Can
anyone tell me what I'm missing?

Here's my current (non-working code):

(root
  (make simple-page-sequence
    left-footer:   (process-matching-children "copyright")
    right-footer:  (process-first-descendant "logo")
    ...

And there is a construction rule for both copyright and logo element types.

Where instance might be:

<document>
  <docmetadata>
    <doctitle>asdfasdf</>
    <copyright firstdate=1997>ISOGEN International Corp.</copyright>
  ...
</document>

Thanks,

Eliot
