Marker question

[Zachary Kaufman <zb...@yahoo.com>]

This functionality is probably wishful thinking, but here it goes...

I have an index of company names.  The first letter of the last company on each index page needs to appear in the page's header.  The first letter is an attribute of the company name XML element.  Is there any way of having the letter show in the page header, but not in the body region alongside its associated company?

Thanks,

--Zachary--

Not at all.

On each company row, set the marker (in it's own block with correct font etc formatting):
<fo:marker marker-class-name="lastcoy"><xsl:value-of select="@coy"/></fo:marker>

In the region-before static-content 
<fo:retrieve-marker retrieve-class-name="lastcoy"
                    retrieve-boundary="page"
                    retrieve-position="last-ending-within-page"/>

Change the attribute select appropriately. Check docs/examples/markers/glossary.xsl for context.

Cheers,
Roland
