Output as in Dictionary

[shrutin]

Hello,

I want to create a dictionary kind of a layout. Using column-count on the fo:region-body i can create the layout.
However in the header i need to show the first entry and the last entry on the page (like in dictionary we mention Aa - Ba) How can i get the first and the last entry on the page?
I will need to use fo:marker and fo:retrieve-marker for the same but i am just not able to get it?

Hi shrutin,

First, each entry gets a marker containing the text you might possibly print in the header (in case you don't want to print the whole word).
Second, in your header you have two retrieve-marker elements, one with retrieve-position="first-starting-within-page" and one with retrieve-position="last-starting-within-page". That should do the trick.

Regards,
 
Georg Datterl
