Hi Matt, This is something that could be handled quite easily with an extension. No doubt you want to use fop 0.20.2 or earlier. You could try looking at the extension in org.apache.fop.extensions for an example of how an extension works. Then you will want to make it actually add an some inline text (ie. Continued) to the line area if the area is being layed out more than once.
