what about 'sliding'?
'sliding' uses the content on the actual page. If there is no content in 
the actual page, the page above is searched for content. if there is no 
content the page above this is searched, ...
this handling is done inside one content-column

So you can define content in your root-page which is shown on every page 
of your tree. If you want to have another content for a whole subtree you 
just have to add it at the root of that subtree



e.g. if your column is the column 'right' and your marker to replace has 
the name 'RIGHT':

page.10.marks {
	RIGHT < styles.content.getRight
	RIGHT.slide = -1
}

else you have to adapt it.
