Using fo:marker and fo:retrieve-marker

[siarom egrub <eg...@yahoo.com>]

Hi All!

I am having an enormous problematic time trying to get
fo:marker and fo:retrieve-marker to work correctly in
some tables that continued to a second page. I have
reviewed several examples and it still doesn’t click.
Maybe too much holiday time off! 

The "(Continued)" text is displaying on the first
occurrence of the table title as well as the second.
It should only be displayed on the second occurrence.
I have included the XSL snippet below.

I really appreciate any help in you can offer. Thanks
in advance for your help! 

S.E.


<fo:flow  flow-name="xsl-region-body"
font-family="Arial">
  <fo:block>
  <fo:marker marker-class-name="cont">
    <fo:inline>(Continued)</fo:inline>
  </fo:marker>
</fo:block>
...
</fo:flow>

<fo:table-and-caption space-before="2em">
<fo:table table-layout="fixed" width="100%">
<fo:table-header>
<fo:table-row>
<fo:table-cell border-style="solid"
border-width="1.5pt"  border-bottom="1.5pt"
border-left="1.5pt"  
border-right="1.5pt" padding-top="1pt"
padding-bottom="1pt" font-size="24pt"
text-align="center" 
number-columns-spanned="7">
<fo:block font-weight="bold">
<xsl:value-of select="title"/>
</fo:block><!--Section 4 Title -->

<fo:block line-height="0pt">
<fo:retrieve-marker
retrieve-position="last-starting-within-page"
retrieve-class-name="cont"/>
</fo:block>

</fo:table-cell>
</fo:table-row>
</fo:table-header>
...
</fo:table>

It's difficult to see what is wrong from the small snippet you posted. 
Although I don't see a table in the flow, only in static content? To 
achieve what you ask for, I suggest that you set the marker in every row 
in the table within the flow. The value in the first row should be kept 
blank, and then every subsequent marker value should be "(Continued)" 
Make sure you use retrieve-boundary="page" and 
retrieve-position="first-starting-within-page" to retrieve the marker in 
static content
