Setting "margin-top" Attribute of <fo:region-body>

Hello,

I'm using a stylesheet version 1.0.
I'm setting the attribute margin-top within the following:

Code:

<fo:simple-page-master>
  <fo:region-body>
    <xsl:choose>
      <xsl:when test="blah blah
        <xsl:attribute name=margin-top">
          <xsl:value-of select="blah blah"

The margin-top can contain from 3-10 (which is the number of lines that can be printed in the heading section of the PDF) and the <xsl:choose> has multiple combinations of tests. I now have to add an additional optional heading line which will increase the multiple combinations of tests resulting in an already clumsy method being more clumsy.

I was thinking of creating a template that added one to a separate variable for each of the tests above. Then I can set the final variable for the heading row count by adding these variables resulting in a value of between 3-11. I now want to set the margin-top attribute of the <fo:region-body> with this value.

I don't know if this is possible and where I would call the template.
I would like to set the margin-top within this new template but am not sure how to do this.

Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Rita
