You don't say where you are having problems with the XSL-FO 
documentation, so I don't know what to clarify for you.

The example below relates my earlier instructions.

Chapter 8 section 2 of my "Practical Formatting Using XSL-FO" 
describes how markers work, with a helpful diagram on qualifying 
areas.  This book can be downloaded from our web site according to 
our "Try and Buy" policy:  if someone decides not to delete their 
preview copy, they are asked to please pay for it.

I hope this helps.
