Hi,
1. page number on the left/right for left/right
pages:
You have to set up two page-sequences, one for the odd and
one for the even pages, say 'left_pages' and 'right_pages'. Each sequence must
have a separate name for the region-after.
Tie them together in your page-sequence-master with this:
<fo:repeatable-page-master-alternatives>
<fo:conditional-page-master-reference
master-name="right_pages"
odd-or-even="odd"
/>
<fo:conditional-page-master-reference
master-name="left_pages"
odd-or-even="even"
/>
</fo:repeatable-page-master-alternatives>
In your fo:flow you can then put up two fo:static-content
sections by referring to the different region-after names.
For more details, see
docs/examples/pagination/franklin_2pageseqs.fo.
2. I didn't try it, but theoretically markers should be used
for this kind of 'running header'.
HTH, Corinna

Is there a way to do this? Again, it is a very
common book format.

Subject: Dictionary style pages
Could someone point me to an example of
producing a dictionary or telephone book style page with fop?
By this I mean:
- I'd like to put the page number at the
bottom of the page on the left hand side for even
numbered pages and on the right hand side for odd numbered
pages.
- I'd like to put the earliest name in the
collating sequence that appears on the page on the left hand top and
latest name in the collating sequece on the right hand top. i.e. if the
page contains entires in alphabetical order from cat to dog, I'd like
the word cat on the left hand side of the region-before and dog on the
right hand side of the region-before.
Thank you,
Ed
