Running Headers

[mark.poston at mekon.com]

Although this formed a part of a larger solution which was controlled
using a FrameMaker plugin, I used Header/Footer markers and the
respective variables (<$marker1> & <$marker2>) to achieve a similar
result.

On the page where your Head1 exist you could add a marker with the Head2
content. This could be performed manually or using one of the scripting
tools available for FrameMaker (i.e. FrameAC or FrameScript).

Regards

Mark

But my Head2 is not necessarily on the same page. I could have a Head1
and an introduction that is long and makes the text flow onto the next
page so the Head 2 starts on the next page. So how do I compensate for
that?


Thank you,

Yup: this '+' notation also allows you to create 'dictionary' style
spanned headers, like 'Aardvark-Avocet', 'Bantam-Broiler', kind of
stuff. I've used it when typesetting directories.
