FO: grip marker

[Martin Trautmann]

Hi all,

is there any standard for grip markers? I've found the fo:marker, but I
look for some kind of support for "grip marker" or "side makers" -
what's the correct English / XSL term to look for?

I want to place white letters on black box markers on the right side of the
page (as it is used e.g. in phone books for faster navigation)

Thanks,
Martin

"Thumb tabs" is the English term.

Hi all,

I had a first google search for 'thumb tags' - without success. I
suppose I have to create black boxes with white font at a certain
position by a manual workaround, calculating absolute positions before,
or run the XML through some kind of preprocessor (perl script) to
compute reasonable placements.

Output shall be a PDF via FO. Any ideas how to procede best?

Thanks,
Martin

It's "tabs" not "tags".

oops - thanks for this correction - now I have some pages to scan for
answers.
