[xep-support] Using markers for headers

[Ettinger, Christian]

Hi David,
 
in my Docbook customization layer I use <fo:retrieve-marker> for this purpose. Following is the template that prints chapter titles on the left and section titles on the right page header. The titles on the right hand side are always the title of the last section heading that occurred. Is this what you are trying to do?

<xsl:template name="header.content">
  <xsl:param name="pageclass" select="''"/>
  <xsl:param name="sequence" select="''"/>
  <xsl:param name="position" select="''"/>
  <xsl:param name="gentext-key" select="''"/>
 
  <!-- pageclass can be titlepage, lot, front, body, back, index -->
  <!-- sequence can be first, odd, even, blank -->
  <!-- position can be left, center, right -->
  
  <fo:block font-style="italic">
    <xsl:choose>
      <xsl:when test="$pageclass = 'titlepage'"/>
      <xsl:when test="$sequence = 'first' or $sequence = 'blank'"/>
      <xsl:when test="$position = 'center'">
        <xsl:choose>
          <xsl:when test="ancestor::book and ($double.sided != 0) 
                          and $sequence = 'odd'">
            <fo:retrieve-marker retrieve-class-name="section.head.marker"
                                retrieve-position="first-including-carryover"
                                retrieve-boundary="page-sequence"/>
          </xsl:when>
          <xsl:otherwise>
            <xsl:apply-templates select="." mode="titleabbrev.markup"/>
          </xsl:otherwise>
        </xsl:choose>
      </xsl:when>
      <xsl:when test="$position='left' and $double.sided != 0 
                      and $sequence = 'even'">
        <fo:page-number/>
      </xsl:when>
      <xsl:when test="$position='right' and $double.sided != 0 
                      and $sequence = 'odd'">
        <fo:page-number/>
      </xsl:when>
      <xsl:when test="$position='right' and $double.sided = 0">
        <fo:page-number/>
      </xsl:when>
    </xsl:choose>
  </fo:block>
</xsl:template>

Hope this helps you, it works for me.

Christian
