fo->pdf header content and alternative headers

[Steve Guo <co...@yahoo.com>]

Several books uses and talked about alternative headers (footers) for odd and even pages, in the context of FOP. I have two questions:1. Maybe a dumb questionSince the content of the header is specified by,<fo:static-content> elementdoes it mean the content cannot be 'dynamic'?, such as pulling from the <chapter_title> element?If it cannot be 'dynamic', then I guess it has to be hard-coded? 2. Many books use alternative heading on odd and even pages. It is easy to have alternative positioning of headers using<fo:simple-page-master>, but I did not find a way to change the content of headers? Is there a way to specify which header to use for:<fo:conditional-page-master-reference>? thanks all Steve

Look up markers and retrieve-marker:

Yes. This is a FAQ:

BTW check your mail client settings, it grossly misformats
the message (and turn off HTML if possible).
