Would it be posible to iterate over your list of invoices (by using recursion with the head and tail approach in the xslt translation). But keep a counter of the number of invoices processed this page. When the counter hits a certain level start a new page by doing the carried forward/brought forward part of the page break.
That way if there are no page breaks all of the invoice lines will appear on the one page, and if there are more invoice lines that can appear on a single page the appropriate page break will appear. This approach will however mean that you have a page sequence for each page. It will also mean that you have to know how many invoice lines can appear on a single page. regards, Chris > -----Original Message----- > From: Jeremias Maerki [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Monday, November 11, 2002 3:41 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: page-position=last, FOP vs XEP, business forms > > :-) We're doing mostly invoices and such but that's exactly the kind of > requirements that I've always tried to avoid.
