THanks for the response I had a look at these but they do not work. Unfortunatly we want the page layout engine to create the blanks as it renders the content of a page sequence. So the location of the blanks is not known beforehand and the blanks are not triggered from specific break-before directives. Instead the blanks we want will be triggered by the layout engine as it does its flow. When the layout engine goes to the even page, it will discover it has nowhere to render so it will do the static content, eject the page and go to the odd where there is lots of room.
Someone suggested this might be illegal in XSL - but it is accepted in both .20 and .93. > -----Original Message----- > From: Andreas L Delmelle [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Sunday, February 18, 2007 1:00 AM > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: Page Slop > > > On Feb 17, 2007, at 23:19, Jim Tivy wrote: > > Hi, > > > We tried to ship a project with .93.
