Is this a known issue? Is it related to the > whitespace handling problem?) I don't think so. A new page is created, either with or without trailing white-space in the blocks... So, how could this be related to white-space? :) (Quite on the contrary, the above description excludes white-space-handling from possibly being related, IIC) I've been doing some browsing, but can't seem to find a reference that indicates that the formatter should ignore the break-after property on the last block in the page-sequence if it is empty --if nothing prohibits the page-break, then force-page-count will do no good. In the worst case, if you would set it to odd, it would result in yet another extra page being added :/ I'll keep looking for that reference, but I wouldn't be surprised if there are none. The conclusion that the break should be avoided seems more like 'expected' than 'compliant' behaviour...
Have a look at section 7.19.1, "break-after" of the recommendation: "Specifies that the first normal area generated by formatting the next formatting object, *if any*, shall be the first one placed in a particular context (e.g. page-area, column-area)" That means that if there is no further normal area, then there should be no break. That sounds reasonable, after all. So I'm more and more convinced that that's a bug. Do you agree? Vincent
Cheers, Andreas
