Re: [docbook] Vertical text in FO output

[Bob Stayton <bobs@sagehill.net>]

Hi Fabien,
The "running.head.mode" calls the "header.table" template to set up the 
form of the header layout.  All of the content in the header comes from 
the template named "header.content".  That template typically has many 
"cases" in the form of xsl:when causes with test attributes.  If you 
comment all of those out and add them back in one by one, you should be 
able to determine which clause is triggering that content.
