Hi Karen, Thanks for the contributions. I have had a look and I think it is along the right track. It is a bit hard to know if all the various details are correct. The only way to determine if it will eventually work is to gradually build it up and see that it is working for us.
One question I think we should consider and tackle if possible at this stage is: Is it possible to layout blocks as soon as possible and generate a page once blocks have filled a page. That is, the driving events are the starting and ending of elements in the sax events. When a block level object is finished directly under the flow level then can we add this block to the current page. Once the page is full (or page break) then we finish the layout of the page then send it on to the render. Then the completed fo elements that made up the page can be discarded. Rather than always waiting for a page sequence to end, which is easier but not better. Regards, Keiron.
