A brain teaser

[Stephen Clarke <an...@longusername.worldonline.co.uk>]

Hi,

How can I put a special heading on page one, and a normal heading on all
subsequent pages. The special heading is a superset of the normal heading
and contains multiple lines. The subsequent heading contains only the first
line of the group.

In all other respects, the text should flow as normal.

Here's a skeleton version of the page structure:

<fo:layout-master-set>
 <fo:simple-page-master master-name="frontpage">
 </fo:simple-page-master>        
 <fo:simple-page-master master-name="documentpage">
 </fo:simple-page-master>
        
 <fo:page-sequence-master master-name="document">
  <fo:single-page-master-reference master-name="frontpage"/>
  <fo:repeatable-page-master-reference
master-name="documentpage"/>
 </fo:page-sequence-master>
</fo:layout-master-set>

<fo:page-sequence master-name="frontpage">
 <fo:static-content flow-name="xsl-region-before">
 <!-- Your special header here -->
 </fo:static-content>      
</fo:page-sequence>
      
<fo:page-sequence master-name="documentpage">        
 <fo:static-content flow-name="xsl-region-before">
 <!-- Your not-so special header here -->
 </fo:static-content>			
</fo:page-sequence>

Note that it is n o t complete but just shows how the
general structure could look.
Assuming your header data is contained in some xml, all you
need to do is to create xsl:templates to extract all rows
from it into the 'frontpage' xsl-region-before flow and
another template to extract only the first line into
'documentpage' xsl-region before flow.

But that part I leave to you.

Cheers!
