But the marker subtree from the previous page is tranposed into the same "containing page".
Where do you get that from, how is it transposed, I have not seen any information about this?
I was thinking of
6.11.4 fo:retrieve-marker
Areas:
The fo:retrieve-marker does not directly generate any area. It is (conceptually) replaced by the children of the fo:marker that it retrieves.
Considering all the retrieve positions refer to areas in the "containing page" then these markers transposed from a previous page are not attached to areas in the containing page.
Are you agreeing then that if it cannot find it on the current page it should look an the previous page and so on, or does this transposing do something else.
I agree. In that case, the transposition is from the fo:marker subtree on a previous page.
Another point, why have this statement:
"A qualifying area within a page is better than any qualifying area within a preceding page,"
Unless it is possible that if there is no qualifying marker on the current page
then it
is possible to retrieve a marker from a preceding page.
Yes, it is possible, but again, the qualifying marker on a previous page will be transposed to the containing page - the page whose fo:retrieve-marker started all the trouble.
The rest of the above-quoted sentence, following the comma, is:
"...except that areas do not have a position in the hierarchy if they are within pages that follow the containing page." In my reading, the implication is that the containing page is an absolute point of reference - the page in which the fo:retrieve-marker accurs.
Yes, one of the many contradictions. I presume you mean where the fo:retrieve-
marker is replaced with the retrieved marker (since it occurs on every page with that static content).
Yes. It occurs on every page, but for every page the replacement fo:marker has to be recalculated. The process is particular to each fo:retrieve-marker on each page.
