One problem I have is that I am not sure how to solve the header
information. I would  like the header to reflect the fo:marker from
the previous page. However, all the info I have read on the list and
in the W3c spec sheets aren't helping me. I have tried all the
possible values and I am still not getting it.

I am wondering if this problem (not getting the marker from the
previous page when there is overflow) is a fo or xsl problem. (code
below)

It seems to me to be a problem with the implementation you are using. I tested your code in Antenna House XSL Formatter and it seemed to work fine.


                  <fo:block><fo:retrieve-marker
retrieve-class-name="series-title" retrieve-boundary="page-sequence"
retrieve-position="first-starting-within-page"/></fo:block>

This looks just fine ... the default for retrieve-boundary is "page-sequence" so that is redundant ... but that won't (and doesn't in AX) interfere.


I have heard that FOP won't retrieve anything not found on the given page, but I've not used the tool and cannot confirm this for you.

I hope this helps.
