You could put the ToC in a table, or each section in the ToC in a separate table, and use fo:retrieve-table-marker [1] to retrieve the section title. If there is no difference between the first appearance of the section title and its repetition at the top of the following column(s), then you could just put the section title in the header of the table for the section. > I know this can be done by page, but I just need it to work by column as > well. The working draft for XSL FO 2.0 includes new work for different table headers/footers at different boundaries [2]. It would be useful to the XSL FO subgroup if you could review the WD and provide feedback [3] on how well it would help with your problem. There are additional requirements for XSL FO 2.0 for retrieving markers [4] and text before and after a break [5] that are not yet in a public working draft, but it's still possible to make comments on any of the requirements in advance of there being something for them in a Working Draft.
