[xep-support] Creating "section headers" that repeat after page breaks

Hi Tim,

I think different page-masters instead of a table would do it best.
In the static content (fo:region-before) you can refer to your current
section using markers (fo:marker, fo:retrieve-marker).
However, each report section starts on its own page in this case.

Hope this helps,
Oliver
