I don't quite understand what you are trying to say here. The test case in question checks the use of keep-together.within-line="always" in the context of <fo:block, <fo:inline and <fo:marker.

Regarding integer keeps I have no real idea how to do it. Can we express integer keep conditions correctly using our Knuth sequences for example by adjusting the penalty values as you suggest? If the answer is yes implementation is easy and can stay within TextLM. If the answer is no then we have a real problem IMO as the algorithm then has to work on top of Knuth. I believe the same issue exists for the .within-page case which is probably even more important. > WDYT? > > > Cheers > > Andreas Manuel
