Hi,

Yes, you are right, the specification says "An fo:retrieve-marker is only
permitted as the descendant of an fo:static-content.". But nevertheless it
works with FOP 0.20.5. ;-) 
But maybe the FOP extension (already mentioned by Pascal Sancho) is a
"cleaner" solution:
http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/0.20.5/extensions.html#table-continue-labe
l

I wonder, why fo:retrieve-marker is restricted to static content and not
allowed in the flow. Does anybody has an explanation?

Cheers,
Sascha

Isn't it true that fo:retrieve-marker can only be used within a
fo:static-content? If so, how will this work?
Are there any other options?

Thank you.
