Set xsl:variable to fo:marker

[Readman, Devon]

Hi Everyone.   I'm trying to include a text 'note' value in the dynamic running header of my pdf output. Currently, I'm using fo:marker to set the heading value when processing which is retrieved within the fo:region-before. This works fine as there are always only two lines of text so a set width is big enough. Since the text 'note' can vary throughout the document I need to be able to resize the fo:region-before through the use of a xsl:variable. Can you set the value of a xsl:variable to the value of a fo:marker? I've tried with no success -- just a hardcoded variable value works.   Thanks.

I use space-before/space-after to get space between objects. When there is not room for an object on the current page, a new page is created and the rendering continues at the new page. Sometimes this results in objects starting a little further down on the new page than specified by the page margin, because of the space-before/after that I have specified on the current object. Is it possible to omit any space when rendering continues on a new page?   Maybe not well explained, but did you catch it?   Shortly, I want space between each object in the PDF, but I always want to start on the same position on each page (page top margin)   Regards, Dennis JD Myrén Developer Oslo Kode Bureau Tel:      (+47) 98 00 11 92 Mail:   [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web:   www.oslokb.no
