Hi Magnus and JTHaemlitz, I am grateful to you both for your efforts. Perhaps i should have explained, the subsequent headers are different from the first header. The first version, Magnus' version, produced two documents. The first one had the special headers and the second one had the ordinary

the xsl:fo way of doing what you want isn't pretty, but it's a very standard wish in book formatting. after you figure it out, you will wonder how else it could have been defined. the tutorial chapter below pretty much explains how to do this: http://www.dpawson.co.uk/xsl/sect3/bk/ch05.html#d0e1

I happen to be liable for the content of that particular tutorial chapter. Dave Pawson did most of the work relating to making it look really good, with DocBook tweaking. But I take responsibility for errors. Mostly it is pretty solid, but I do have to point out one error, which relates to "referen

Not to worry, Bart, I didn't construe it that way. I stepped in because I am a nitpicker about factual accuracy, and ever since I made the "sense of rotation" error it's been bothering me, and I try to point it out. Of course I should just fix it. :-) I should add that apart from Dave P and myself
