I've discussed how in the past I needed to know when an item of a 
certain type was being rendered on a different page than the previous 
item of the same type.

I managed it using labels, and then extracting the page number from the 
reference and comparing it to the page number extracted from a reference 
of the label of the previous item.

That works quite well, but of course needs a couple of 
document-update-all to get things in sync.

It works well because there are not a LOT of such labels.

However, I've been using a single celled table in order to manage the 
borders of my literate programming blocks, and this doesn't work well if 
a block takes up most of, or more than, one page!

So I want to stop using tables for this - (I note latex as well as 
texmacs is bad at handling large tables that break pages).

But what I need for literate program is to decorate a code block at the 
top of each page it breaks on to - something which tables also don't 
seem to do well.

I could use my previous trick and have a label FOR EACH LINE but that is 
probably totally crazy and will result in too many labels (TeXmacs 
doesn't prune un-used labels from the document as it is).

How can I have decoration of a paragraph that works each time a new page 
is started?
