title: Flying Saucer hide header and footer on first page
body: <p>I've been playing with the flying saucer R8 and tried to <strong><em>hide header and footer from the front page</em></strong> of my PDF.</p>
  
  <p>I followed that <a href="http://groups.google.com/group/flying-saucer-users/browse_thread/thread/1dc1589ffb7b5a6" rel="noreferrer">hint</a> tried to follow the W3C specifications for the <strong>content: element()</strong> <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-gcpm/#running-elements" rel="noreferrer">(W3C running elements)</a> in my print.css. It is described that the following should solve my problem:</p>
  
  <pre><code>@page { @top-center { content: element(header, first-except) }}
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But it seems that this is not yet implemented in R8. So I tried the approach above with the <strong>set-string</strong> method.</p>
  
  <pre><code>#header { set-string: header content() }
  @page { @top-center { content: string(header, first-except) }}
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But nothing gets rendered, <strong>content: string()</strong> seems to be broken, since whatever I put in there will not be rendered: </p>
  
  <pre><code>@page { @top-center { content: "foo" string(header, first-except) }} /*broken*/
  @page { @top-center { content: "foo" string(header) }} /*broken*/
  @page { @top-center { content: "foo" }} /*works!*/
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>So has anyone an idea how to get this working?</p>
