Since you are already using XSL-FO according to your first sentence, 
in the stylesheet you'll find reference to <fo:page-number/>.  That 
is the construct that is exposing the page number in the resulting footer.

That has to be in an <fo:block> because using <fo:block> is the only 
way to create lines using XSL-FO.

Inside that block you'll need to change your XSLT to fetch the manual 
and section values from your XML and place them around the page 
number as desired.

There are no "automatic" elements or attributes ... you'll have to do 
the work of fetching the needed content and use the desired formatting.

I hope this helps.
