Hi Michael,
Support for the keep-together processing instruction on programlisting should be there, but on inspecting the code, I find that it is not. I consider this a bug, so could you please submit a bug report to the DocBook SourceForge project to get this fixed for the next release? It is supported on para, so you could try putting the programlisting inside a para that contains only the keep-together processing instruction and programlisting.

A dbfo-need works if it precedes a block element. Unfortunately, they do not work properly in FOP because it has not yet implemented all the properties needed to make it work.

Subject: [docbook-apps] Page breaks for programlisting elements


Using FOP 1.0. Docbook XML -> FO -> PDF.

Some of the page breaks for my  programlistings look bad. They leave a
single orphan line at the bottom of the page. So the grey background box splits over 2 pages.

I have tried the following FO processing instructions for the relevant
blocks, but they have no effect.

<?dbfo keep-together="always" ?>  (is this only for formal objects --
tables, figures etc?)

<?dbfo-need height="2in" ?> (this does not "push" the following block on to
the next page, as expected)
