But I'll try. First of all, you simple need fo:table-header [1] and fo:table-footer [2] before your fo:table-body. That gives you headers and footers for the table that is repeated on each page. [1] http://www.w3.org/TR/xsl11/#fo_table-header [2] http://www.w3.org/TR/xsl11/#fo_table-footer An example: <fo:table table-layout="fixed" width="100%"> <fo:table-column number-columns-repeated="2" column-width="proportional-column-width(1)"/> <fo:table-header> <fo:table-row> <fo:table-cell> <fo:block>header1</fo:block> </fo:table-cell> <fo:table-cell> <fo:block>header2</fo:block> </fo:table-cell> </fo:table-row> </fo:table-header> <fo:table-footer> <fo:table-row> <fo:table-cell> <fo:block>footer1</fo:block> </fo:table-cell> <fo:table-cell> <fo:block>footer2</fo:block> </fo:table-cell> </fo:table-row> </fo:table-footer> <fo:table-body> <fo:table-row> <fo:table-cell> <fo:block>cell1</fo:block> </fo:table-cell> <fo:table-cell> <fo:block>cell2</fo:block> </fo:table-cell> </fo:table-row> <fo:table-row> <fo:table-cell> <fo:block>cell3</fo:block> </fo:table-cell> <fo:table-cell> <fo:block>cell4</fo:block> </fo:table-cell> </fo:table-row> </fo:table-body> </fo:table> Only now, it's getting tricky. You say you need changing content in the header and footer. That's what table-markers [3][4] from XSL 1.1 are for. But unfortunately, this hasn't been implemented, yet. So the only thing you can try is putting your header and footer content in the region-before and the region-after of the page. There you can work with fo:retrieve-marker [5] to access content you specify in fo:marker [6] elements.
