That's right:

-p header-right "{{topic-title}}"

is correct and works great if you convert DITA to PDF, but does not work =

when you convert DITA to DOCX.

This is in fact an XMLmind XSL-FO Converter limitation, not a ditac bug.

Unlike Apache FOP or RenderX XEP which are used to generate PDF, XMLmind =

XSL-FO Converter, which is used to generate DOCX, does not support:

- fo:marker
- fo:retrieve-marker

See https://www.xmlmind.com/foconverter/conformance.html

Note that {{topic-title}} and {{section1-title}} are implemented using =

fo:marker and fo:retrieve-marker while {{document-title}} and =

{{chapter-title}} are implemented using simpler means.

Sorry for this XMLmind XSL-FO Converter limitation. We currently don't =

see how to remove it.
