First, I would recommend that you not use 1.75.1, but switch to 1.75.2.

Sorry, my bad - I was actually using 1.75.2 but due to having all kinds of versions laying around I thought I was using 1.75.1. Sorry for the misinformation.


When I test dbfo-need with fop.0.95 and 1.75.2, I found that it does work in some locations but not others. In the case of placing a dbfo-need between block elements like para, it works. But if you put the dbfo-need before a section element, it does not.

Regarding the extra space that you noticed, that is the other problem that fop 0.95 has. It does not yet handle the combination of properties (primarily space-after.precedence) that puts the text back where it should start when a dbfo-need is used. That is a limitation that must await full support for the space-after property in FOP.

Do you know of any specific issues in the fop bug tracker regarding these issues? I'd like to add myself as a CC so I can track the progress.


So the question is, should we enable a feature for fop 0.95 that sometimes works but sometimes not, and that adds space where it shouldn't. I would vote to add support only when FOP handles the feature properly. But others may see it differently.

  I agree with you. I just wanted to know where the failures are.
