I'm not sure that this is the way you *should* do it, but this works:
Both the rightPage and leftPage fo:simple-page-master formatting
objects should contain a fo:region-before formatting object to give
the header. You need to give these two fo:region-before formatting
objects different names, using the region-name property. So something
like:
<fo:simple-page-master master-name="leftPage">
<fo:region-body margin="1.75cm" />
<fo:region-before region-name="leftHeader"
extent="1.5cm" precedence="true" />
</fo:simple-page-master>
<fo:simple-page-master master-name="rightPage" margin="0.5cm">
<fo:region-body margin="1.75cm" />
<fo:region-before region-name="rightHeader"
extent="1.5cm" precedence="true" />
</fo:simple-page-master>
Now in the fo:page-sequence, you need one fo:static-content formatting
object for the leftHeader and one fo:static-content for the
rightHeader. In the leftHeader, the fo:block should have a text-align
of 'left' while in the rightHeader, the fo:block should have a
text-align of 'right':
<fo:page-sequence master-name="contents" initial-page-number="43">
<fo:static-content flow-name="leftHeader"
<fo:block font-family="Courier" font-size="10px"
text-align="left">
<fo:page-number/>
</fo:block>
</fo:static-content>
<fo:static-content flow-name="rightHeader"
<fo:block font-family="Courier" font-size="10px"
text-align="right">
<fo:page-number/>
</fo:block>
</fo:static-content>
...
</fo:page-sequence>
I hope that helps,
Jeni
