Hi Vincent, Thanks for the answer. Luckily this problem solved itself, because the breaking rules I need to implement are simpler than they seemed at first.

I think so. Something like this: <block keep-together.within-page="1"> <block keep-together.within-page="2"> <block keep-together.within-page="3">(block 1 content)</block> <block keep-together.within-page="3">(block 2 content)</block> <block keep-together.within-page="3">(block 3 content)</block> </block> <block keep-together.within-page="2"> <block keep-together.within-page="3">(block 4 content)</block> <block keep-together.within-page="3">(block 5 content)</block> </block> </block> However this is all theoretical, since FOP currently handles all integer values the same way; that is, set a very high penalty for breaking inside the block, but not forbid it completely. The idea is to encourage the algorithm to favour layouts without breaks over those with breaks. While this might not always be the case, the hope is that this is what will happen for most real-life documents. To achieve what you need integer keeps would have to be fully implemented. I don't think there is any solution other than that, unfortunately. > Regards, > > Georg Datterl HTH, Vincent --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: fop-users-unsubscr...@xmlgraphics.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: fop-users-h...@xmlgraphics.apache.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: fop-users-unsubscr...@xmlgraphics.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: fop-users-h...@xmlgraphics.apache.org
