In a project I need to add a sign in the header if my page sequence spans multiple pages This is handled very straightforwardly by using markers. Retrieve two markers in your header, one for each of the two arrows. For the left arrow graphic use something like: <retrieve-marker retrieve-class-name="leftarrow"
retrieve-position="first-including-carryover"/>For the right arrow graphic use something like: <retrieve-marker retrieve-class-name="rightarrow"
retrieve-position="last-ending-within-page"/>At the start of your page sequence, have: <block>
<marker marker-class-name="leftarrow"/>
<marker marker-class-name="rightarrow">
.... definition of right arrow ....
</marker>
</block>
<block>
<marker marker-class-name="leftarrow">
.... definition of left arrow ....
</marker>
</block>
... rest of page sequence ...At the end of your page sequence, have: ... rest of page sequence ...
<block>
<marker marker-class-name="rightarrow"/>
</block>With those definitions, the first page's left arrow is empty, but any page break after reveals the left arrow, and the start of the sequence has a definition of right arrow, but at the very end (there is always room for an empty block), the definition is blanked out. So the definition will be blank at the end of the page sequence. The above will work on a single-page page-sequence. I hope this helps (and I haven't mistyped!). . . . . . . . . .
