[xep-support] Using FO to create page headers of open tags on page-breaks

Yep, it is.

In the flow:

<fo:flow>
...
<fo:block>
  <fo:block keep-with-next.within-page="always"> <!-- this is the title -->
    <fo:marker marker-class-name="c01">Letters</fo:marker>
    Letters
  </fo:block>
  <fo:block>
    <fo:marker marker-class-name="c01">Letters (Continued)</fo:marker>
    Here go the contents.
  </fo:block>
</fo:block>

In the static content:

<fo:retrieve-marker retrieve-class-name="c01" retrieve-position="first-including-carryover"/>

Hope this helps.
