Hi Andreas - FOP is bundled into another application I am using, and I'm not sure of the version. I'm looking into the FOP version.
This didn't work for me, unfortunately: <fo:block space-after.optimum="1.2em" space-after.conditionality="retain" space-after.precedence="force" /> Should this work in all versions of FOP to create a blank line in an RTF?

The most important question is: which FOP version are you using? I sincerely hope you're not stuck on 0.20.x, since it is notoriously non-compliant in terms of respecting preserved linefeeds and white- space... > I've got an XSL FO that looks good to me, but the FOP processor > seems to > be ignoring empty blocks and blocks with whitespace. > > The output I desire I am trying to achieve is: > -------- > Line 1 > > Line 2 > ------- > > None of these following XSL FOs produce the desired result.

As a small correction: the property "whitespace-treatment" does not exist. It should be specified as "white-space-treatment". FOP 0.95 will exit with a ValidationException (unless you're using relaxed validation, which is not recommended) If you are using 0.20.x and cannot upgrade, the effect of an empty line can normally be generated like so: <fo:block space-after.optimum="1.2em" space-after.conditionality="retain" space-after.precedence="force" /> HTH!
