Or you could just have a separate xslt file with named header and footer templates in it, include/import this into your main xslt: <xsl:include href="HnF.xslt"/> and call it where you want its output: <xsl:call-template name="footer"/> </html> This way you only need to write your header/footer templates once and any changes you make to them will be reflected in all the xslt that use them, which I would think is the main point of header/footers. If you need your header and footer templates to react to the data you can parameterize them.

HTML doesn't know about headers and footers, so I think you are out of luck. If your data is repetitive you could use CSS2's page-break-before and page-break-after with some nifty xslt... but it's unlikely your data will fit. It is possible to 'hack' the windows registry to put in your own headers on anything that gets printed, but if your app/computer crashes and doesn't delete your custom header and footer, then anything that gets printed from that machine will have them too (of course until you app is closed cleanly :) Ultimately I think the only way to go about this is to use xsl:fo to pdf. I think Im about to embark on a similar project, and I can forsee dual maintenance issues. I wonder how common it is to have xslt->html for screen and xsl:fo->pdf for printing, and any probems that have arisen? cheers andrew XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list ________________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned for all viruses by the MessageLabs Email Security System.
