Sharan,
You can use marker and retrieve marker. The header has to be variable
depending on the contents of the page. Example follows. Retrieve marker
retrieves whatever you put within the fo:marker tags. Those contents
are not output on the page. Also, your code used region-start, you want
region-before. You used static-content instead of fo:flow.
fo:static-content flow-name=xsl-region-before
fo:block font-size=16pt font-weight=bold font-family=sans-serif
xsl:text Car: /xsl:text
fo:retrieve-marker retrieve-class-name=car-category retrieve-boundary=page
retrieve-position=first-starting-within-page/
/fo:block
/fo:static-content
fo:flow flow-name=xsl-region-body
xsl:for-each select=/car
fo:blockfo:marker marker-class-name=car-categoryxsl:value-of
select=Car/@category//fo:marker
xsl:value-of select=@name/
. . .
/fo:block
/fo:flow

Hi XSL FOP Developers,
I want to ask if it is possible to have a dynamic Header implemented
in a Page-Sequence.
something like ...
fo:static-content flow-name=xsl-region-start
fo:block font-size=16pt font-weight=bold
font-family=sans-serif
xsl:text Car: /xsl:text
xsl:value-of select=Car/@category/
/fo:block
/fo:static-content
fo:static-content flow-name=xsl-region-body
!-- XSL FO code to process the xml goes here... --
!-- This body content gets page header using the
xsl-region-start above --
!-- Is is possible to have a different header for this/each page
--
!-- depending on the data being processed eg. let's say we have a
xml having car schema --
!-- would it be possible to have the page header vary depending on
the car detail being displayed ??? --
!-- (assuming each car gets displayed on its own page i.e.
separate page for each car) --
/fo:static-content
Assuming an XML like :-
Vehicle type=4 wheel drive
car category=sedan
!-- Car details here... --
/car
car category=sports
!-- Car details here... --
/car
/Vehicle
Any ideas ? Is there a better way to achieve the same results ? Any
helps/hints/suggestions appreciated.
Thanks!,
Dharmendra
