table-header with (Con't)

Is there anyway to get a table header to print differently after the first time/page? Namely I want to reprint the title above a particular table everytime the page breaks, but I want to add '(Con't)' to the end of the title. I'm already using a page header and then a table header within that.

The general path is to convert XML-FO via XSLT, then run FOP on the FO file. FO is XML, but it contains much more than just the data, so it ends up looking more like HTML. See the FOP examples. Hope I'm interpreting the problem right! -Matt [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Thierry, I guess I am so
