Well, after several days of pretty heavy banging, I think I have a version of the docbook-xsl fo stylesheets working fairly well with the latest FOP release. Since FOP still has several nasty bugs, this has taken some work, but I've had more success with it than with the alternatives.
The only thing that's still bugging me is poor widow/orphan control; I have one document who's sect1/title comes just before a graphic and the graphic gets bumped to the next page. The FO generated by the stylesheet looks correct; I think FOP is just rendering it wrong. What I was wondering is if, in these cases where there is just an incorrect result, is there any way I can pass in a processing instruction in the original docbook source to force (in this case) a page break and rectify the situation? What I'm hoping for is something like <?dbfo break-before="page"?> or some such. I see there is some support for dbfo processing instructions in the stylesheet, and I've seen some very basic examples and syntax here and there, but I've found very little in the way of hard documentation on this. Any help is appreciated. -- Paul Reavis [EMAIL PROTECTED] Design Lead Partner Software, Inc. http://www.partnersoft.com
