This is kinda what I did before this one, instead of putting everything in one big element, I broke them down to <line>s.
Anyway, I got the idea that FOP cannot resize the output page and I have to find a way to simulate this programmatically.

I had a hand in creating the XML file, so I told them that if they wanted multiple lines, rather than output like this: <TRAILER>sadfl;kjajsdflsadfj sadf sadfl;kjajsdflsadfj sadf sadfl;kjajsdflsadfj sadf sadfl;kjajsdflsadfj sadf sadfl;kjajsdflsadfj sadf sadfl;kjajsdflsadfj sadf sadfl;kjajsdflsadfj sadf sadfl;kjajsdflsadfj sadf sadfl;kjajsdflsadfj sadf sadfl;kjajsdflsadfj sadf sadfl;kjajsdflsadfj sadf sadfl;kjajsdflsadfj sadf</TRAILER> I asked them to make it like this: <TRAILER> <LINE>sadfl;kjajsdflsadfj sadf sadfl;kjajsdflsadfj sadf sadfl;kjajsdflsadfj</LINE> <LINE>sadf sadfl;kjajsdflsadfj sadf sadfl;kjajsdflsadfj sadf sadfl;kjajsdflsadfj</LINE> <LINE>sadf sadfl;kjajsdflsadfj sadf sadfl;kjajsdflsadfj sadf sadfl;kjajsdflsadfj</LINE> <LINE>sadf sadfl;kjajsdflsadfj sadf sadfl;kjajsdflsadfj sadf sadfl;kjajsdflsadfj sadf</LINE> </TRAILER> Then I did a count(TRAILER/LINE) and multiplied the result by the number of lines (IIRC it was .6cm per line or something). I sent that to the fop-user list over a year ago... :-p Web Maestro Clay -- <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - <http://homepage.mac.com/webmaestro/> My religion is simple.
