[xsl] xsl-fo header problems

[Mike Ferrando <mikeferrando@xxxxxxxxx>]

Friends,
I am constructing a skeleton fo document that resembles our hard copy
word processor files.

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)

Example:

====Page 1:=====
=>[no header]
Chapter Title
Section 1 <fo:marker/>
  Paragraph
  Paragraph
  Paragraph
====Page 2:=====
=>Section 1
  Paragraph
  Paragraph
  Paragraph
Section 2 <fo:marker/>
  Paragraph
  Paragraph
====Page 3:=====
=>Section 2
  Paragraph
  Paragraph


Here is my code.

====FO:====
