RE: "Continued from previous page" in a block which flows overleaf

Alas, this approach gets "[ERROR] fo:marker must be an initial child,and
'marker-class-name' must be unique for same parent" from Fop. I see in
http://www.w3.org/TR/xsl/slice6.html#fo_marker that markers need to be
descended from fo:flow. Doesn't that mean that they would be no good for
determining if a block straddled over a page, because we'd need the
marker to be a descendent of a fo:block to use this trick... or am I
missing something?

you want to put a marker saying "... contined " as the first thing in
each block and a marker saying "" after each block

then in the page head you can extract the active marker (carried over
to)
to the top of the page, this will be ... continued unless the page break
was just before the "" marker.

Youmay need to fiddle with the keep properties to make sure that
you don't get page breaks in the wrong place relative to your marks.
