DOCBOOK-APPS: Document Headers and Footers

[Declan Halpin <HalpinD@logica.com>]

Hi,

Just started working with DSSSL and I am trying to produce technical 
documents with the following format for all the chapters headers & footers:

Sub-Title                                               chapt # chapt name
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Some Text..............................

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
pubsnumber                 revnumber                   page number


Below would be typical output if everything was working ok !!

Arch Spec                                        Chapter 1. Introduction
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Some Text..............................

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
ABC-xyz-100                   Version 1.0A                               1

However, I can't get the Sub-titlle of my documents into the header section 
of the pages. I have a similar problem with pubsnumber and revnumber in the 
footer of the document in that I don't know how to access these elements ? 
Another thing which is annoying is the fact that the page number appears 
above the footer line and the chapter name appears below the header line !!

I am using :
    openjade-1.3
    jadetex-3.11
    docbook-dsssl-1.71

From my initial viewing of the mailing it seems this is a recurring problem 
for most people dealing with DSSSL I have included my DSSSL stylesheet 
below.......Any tips on solving the above problems would be much appreciated.
