Research direction

Start by locating the HTML5 plug-in and the custom header.xml mentioned in the issue, then trace how the input map is used during output generation. Done means the plug-in exposes an extension point that allows XSL code to generate content-specific headers and footers dynamically, matching the requested sample behavior.
