Some more variations: you might want to pick up content or attribute values from a marker located in the text flow, and use this information to build a running header. Or maybe just use the location to pick up information from a near-by element.
Is any such thing available in DocBook? Kind regards Peter Ring -----Original Message----- From: Yann Dirson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, December 19, 2001 9:38 AM To: M.

But both marginalia and footnotes are specific layouts for text that is, semantically, a note attached to some point in the text. Whether the rendering of this note shall produce one or the other layout object is a matter style. OTOH, I does raise a question about the <footnote> name - it is the name of a layout item, not of a semantic item, as already shown by the "end notes" rendering. -- Yann Dirson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.alcove.com/ Free-Software Engineer Ing�nieur Logiciel-Libre Free-Software time manager Responsable du temps Informatique-Libre Debian GNU/Linux developper <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
