I'm using <xsl:template name="header.content"> and then using a <xsl:choose> to select the position (left, center, right) and then trying to place different elements there. For example, I'm suing the following to include a logo: <xsl:when test="$sequence='odd' and $position='center'"> <fo:external-graphic content-height="34px"> <xsl:attribute name="src"> <xsl:call-template name="fo-external-image"> <xsl:with-param name="filename" select="$header.image.filename"/> </xsl:call-template> </xsl:attribute> </fo:external-graphic> </xsl:when> I'm specifying the actual image earlier in the template using a xsl:param element. I believe I know how to position items in the header as I've inserted an image in the center, but I'm not sure how to pull the contents of the element from the XML document itself. Everything else I've done is specified in the XSLT document itself so it's easy to specify with a xsl:param element. I'm sure getting the right Google search phrase is the trick here, but I still haven't found that perfect combination yet. Steve
