a custom header according to page number

[Ismaeil, Sameh Z]

Hello everybody
I am a FOP beginner, can somebody help me please with this problem

I need to put a cutsomized header in my pages, the header should contain a
different block (of text) according to the page currently being generated,
so the condition will be based on the page number

1. is there an fo property I can use (say for the static-content or the
block elemtents) that makes certain blocks appear/disappear from headers
according to page number
2. how can I use FOP to generate this content

Thanks a million

  according to page numberYour question is a little 
  underspecified ...if you want to distinguish odd and even pages, the 
  page master conditionnal part is for you (see the page master fo definition : 
  chapter 6.4.11 
  http://www.w3.org/TR/xsl/slice6.html#fo_conditional-page-master-reference). I 
  think you may handle more than just odd-even with this. Use this with 
  different header section...[Ismaeil, Sameh]no, I don't want to 
  distinguish odd and even pages,specifically, I need to distinguish the 
  frist page from the rest of the pages, any clue?Don't 
  think about using some predicate considering the page number, xsl fo and fop 
  are loosely coupled, it is meant to be that way. So it forbids the user to use 
  the internal page number programaticaly (some FO processor provide extension 
  to do this, fop does not).[Ismaeil, Sameh]yes, I kind of noticed 
  that , it is usually one way: FOP code - fo XSL -pdf 
  documentif your need is more complex and you have some magic 
  formula to guess wich page is affected, conditionnal master-page may be to low 
  level ...[Ismaeil, Sameh]I'll give conditional-master-page some insight 
  and hope it will work, thanks a lotGood
