If you are using FOP, you may have to be more careful, as FOP's implementation of block-container is incomplete. See the FOP conformance page for more info. You also have to figure out how to integrate this into the DocBook page setup. The crop mark block-containers would go into the fo:static-content declared in the running.head.mode template in fo/pagesetup.xsl. -- Bob Stayton 400 Encinal Street Publications Architect Santa Cruz, CA 95060 Technical Publications voice: (831) 427-7796 The SCO Group fax: (831) 429-1887 email: bobs@sco.com
