Re: [docbook-apps] customising header/footer

[Bob Stayton <bobs@sagehill.net>]

Hi Tomas,
I'm not able to duplicate this problem.  When I copied your 
header.content template into an otherwise empty customization layer and 
processed an article, the header on the first page is blank.

The header.content template is called each time a page sequence is being 
set up, in the static content before the pages are generated.   It won't 
generate any messages as the pages are generated. You might see your 
output if you are using a custom page-sequence-master that does not 
actually call the 'first' value for any page.  Without seeing more of 
your customization, I can't say more.
