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

Abhishek,

I'm glad the picture is coming into focus.

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
