Hi Shahnawaz

The way we do this is to use a number register - so at the start of a Head1 you say have, for instance, <ns;20;1> and then when the close element is  encountered you have <ns;20;0>. Then in the mte that you are using you can test whether register 20 is set to 1 or 0 and either output something or not as the case may be. If you don't output the heading then you need to do the following <la;0><ld;0><le;0>.

Hope this helps

Chris

Hi Chris,

I got it but how the system will understand that Head1 is on the top of the page or some where else on that particular page because my goal is to stop the repetition of Head1 when it comes on the top of the page.

Please advise. 

I am assuming you are using XML - if you are then my solutions works - we use it all the time. This also assumes that the </Head1> is on the previous page and not on the current page immediately before the next <Head1>.

Yes Chris I am using XML but still I am not getting you. <Head1>....</Head1> may comes multiple times on the same page and want to generate the last Head1 on the top if next page if there is no Head1 is coming on the top of the page. If Head1 is coming on top of the page then I do not want to generate the merge block text. Hope you understand my issue.  

Please see below as an example:

EITHER

<head1>(in if spec <ns;20;1><storeheading>)

Text

</head1>(in if spec<ns;20;0>)

<head1>(in if spec <ns;20;1><storeheading>)

Text

</head1>(in if spec<ns;20;0>)

Page break

Next Page - in mte test #20 = 0 therefore don't output heading

<head1 ...

OR

<head1>(in if spec <ns;20;1><storeheading>)

Text

</head1>(in if spec<ns;20;0>)

<head1>(in if spec <ns;20;1><storeheading>)

Text

Page break

Next Page - in mte test #20 = 1 therefore output last stored heading

Text

</head1>(in if spec<ns;20;0>)

Sorry Chris,

I am still not able to understand where we are checking the position of Head1 and in my case, there are three blocks and I need to generate the continued heads on the first block so I am using mtf macro.

It is not the case where the heads is flowing from one page to another page. These are the one or two liner heads and ends on each individual page itself.

Chris,

There might be some confusion going on.
You seem to assume that the <head1> tag is a wrapper tag around the whole h1 section.
While I think (could be wrong) that in the case of Shahnawaz case it is more a case like:
<h1>header one</h1>
<text>some para's of text
...
...
</text>
<h1>header two</h1>
<text>....

I guess that if there is a wrapper tag then you could still use your system or simply put a <tm;0> in the end tag of the wrapper.
Something like:
<section><h1>header one</h1>
<text>some text
...
...
</text></section>
<section><h1>header two</h1>
...


Which makes me think that if there is no wrapper tag then probably the easiest solution would be to transform the incoming instance in order to put a fake wrapper <section> tag
(and if you need to export things back out, use an outgoing transform to strip the fake wrapper tag)
