Yep. Up to either page or page-sequence or document. No problem there.

Mmm. No you lost me there. There's no statement of the qualifying area for the diagram, and the 3 pages?? to the left (text says 4 btw) dont' seem to align with the tree diagram?
Sorry Ken no. Selecting content (children of markers), I've always associated with the transform stage, hence I've never had hundreds of markers to choose from (or even 3 :-) I had a real job making an example that picked an overflow area from the previous page, but finally managed it (what a daft name, first-including-carryover :-) Picking content from the current page-sequence, I really can't see any use for it.
I've chosen content from the source document (section/chap titles etc), but from the current page-sequence? Why might that be necessary.

I like the idea of running headers, though the syntax (and description?) could do with improvement IMO.
Then I guess I'm missing the lecture that went behind those notes :-)
