2 flows to same page?
Hi.
I have an xml doc, "book" is the root, with many "chapter" child elements.
I am creating a new page for every chapter. For each chapter, I want to
put some text in the "xsl-region-start" and "xsl-region-body" for the page.
I tried putting two flows in the page sequence, but it errors out saying
that one can not have 2 flows in the same page sequence. I have two page
sequences, each with the different flow, but this does not appear to be
working.
Here is my stylesheet. Thanks for any help or pointers.
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"

I never used it but the fo:marker and fo:retrieve-marker seem to do what you
want.
6.11.3 fo:marker
6.11.4 fo:retrieve-marker
Hope that help

Just making sure.

I understand why one would think that I am confused between the
region-start and region-before.
I understand the difference between the two, and I definitely want to put
my text into region-start, I have to do this because the mock-up's of the
documents I am trying to recreate have text in the left margin of the document.
But the difference of the regions aside, I don't think the solution would
be different due to the region I want to put text into. What I mean is it
does not matter if it's region-start or region-before, if it will work for
one, it will work for the other.
I like the idea of the static-content, but only have seen it used for page
numbers, can it be set for the title of each chapter, not "Chapter 1" but
rather, "Chapter 1, Introduction" and "Chapter 2, The meeting", etc...
So my question still is, how can I put content into two different regions
of the same page?

Phillip,
You weren't too clear about what was actually happening, I am wondering if
you have region-start & region-before confused. For ordinary English text,
your region-start would be a 2cm left margin & is probably not wide enough
for much text. Use region-before for page headers.
You may want to use static-content instead of a flow as well, this you can
place in the same page-sequence (& it will repeat if the body exceeds one
page).

Roland
