How to use pto_header in RML?

Question

I did a report, which was working perfect, but I realized that when there are several pages, the header and the footer were being shown only in the first page.

So I started to use <pto>, <pto_header> and <pto_trailer>. But these are not working as expected. For example, when I only use pto_header:

<story>
    <pto>
        <pto_header>
            <para style="P1">
                <font color="white"> </font>
            </para>
            <blockTable colWidths="480.0" style="Table1">
                <tr>
                    <td>
                        <para style="header_td">My column</para>
                    </td>
                </tr>
            </blockTable>
        </pto_header>
        <blockTable colWidths="480.0" style="Table2">
            <tr>
                <para style="terp_default_8">[[ repeatIn(objects,'o') ]]</para>
                <para style="terp_default_8">[[ setLang(o.lang) ]]</para>
                <td>
                    <para>[[ o.name or '' ]]</para>
                    <para>
                        <font color="white"> </font>
                    </para>
                </td>
            </tr>
        </blockTable>
    </pto>
</story>

The result is that the section I declared as the pto_header is only being shown at the last page of the report. And if I declare a pto_trailer the result is the other way round. The pto_trailer is only shown at the very first page.

Can anyone explain me what I am doing wrong?
