Hi Paul, Actually, the stylesheets do process anything under root for an article. The template with match="article" in fo/component.xsl ends with:
<xsl:apply-templates/> which means it applies templates to all children of the article element. The "book" template in divison.xsl does the same. When I put a hard pagebreak PI in an article after all sections and before a glossary, it works. I'm not sure why it does not work for you.

Per Bob's book, I use the processing instruction <?hard-pagebreak?> in my documents to force page breaks, for example, before and after the glossary in my docbook with the root element as "article". However, including just <?hard-pagebreak?> by itself, (along with the correct FO code, of course), has no affect, because the stylesheets don't process processing instructions just under the root. If I do: <para> <?hard-pagebreak?> </para> Then I get what I want, but then technically the resulting docbook is not valid. Any suggestions? Paul
