I am trying to use maker and retrieve-marker to put the title of the current chapter into the header of my documents.
I have this working BUT the formatting of the chapter title in the header is the same as where the marker is i.e. Large
and Bold, appropriately for the title of a chapter bit not for a running header.
 
I know this is a known problem with fop (I am using 0.20.5 by the way).  However, in the mailing list archive I saw amongst the messages dealing with this problem one from Andreas L. Delmelle saying:
 
Oh, another detail: there's a nasty bug with markers that renders them with
the same properties as the region/block where they are defined, so to make
it work correctly, you have to add an fo:wrapper around the marker to set
the font-size/-weight etc. to the same values they have in the static
content...

For more info: check the examples for markers that came with FOP
(FOP_HOME/examples/fo/markers)

I think I have probably misunderstood what Andreas means. 
 
What I did was to have
 
<fo:block use-attribute-set="chapter-heading"> <!-- sets 20 point, bold font -->
<fo:wrapper use-attribute-set="headers-footers"> <!-- sets 8 point light  -->
<fo:marker marker-class-name="chapter">Introduction</fo:marker>
</fo:wrapper>
 
But while that meant the header was in the correct font etc., the chapter title was then very small.
Is there a workaround for this situation?
