Hello Rob,
Your not showing the keep-with-next usage(s)?
Sorry, I don't understand what you're trying to say. Can you elaborate?
Cheers,
Stefan

Need a kick in the right direction how to debug/address a problem with
orphans.
Headings (chapter and section titles) that show up as the last line on
a page are among the most annoying things in the widows and orphans
space. Text processors will usually implement a rule like "move the
heading to the next page when it's followed by less than 3 paragraph
lines". DocBook doesn't seem to have a way to implement a similar
rule, because "the DocBook DTD does not contain any elements or
attributes that control page breaking".
However, I found this: "The DocBook XSL stylesheet tries hard to
prevent bad page breaks in print output. It assigns keep-together
properties to some output blocks, which prevents insertion of a page
break within the block. For example, a table with this property will
be pushed to the next page if the whole table does not fit at the
bottom of a page. For other blocks the stylesheet adds a
keep-with-next property to keep the block with the following block.
This is useful for section titles so they do not appear at the bottom
of a page with nothing after them. -- Note: The previous version of
FOP (0.20.5) did not support these keep properties. Be sure to use FOP
0.93 or higher."
(http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/PageBreaking.html#SoftPageBreaks)
However, in a fairly small document (95 pages in PDF/US Letter), I
found five instances of<section> titles that appeared as the last
line of a page. The DocBook for all of them looks similar to this:
<section id="mcm-install-cluster-creating">
<title>Creating a MySQL Cluster with&mcm;</title>
<indexterm>
<primary>clusters</primary>
<secondary>creating</secondary>
</indexterm>
<para>
In this section, we discuss the procedure for using&mcm;
...
Could it be that the<indexterm> container is considered a block, and
the style sheet keeps this (invisible) block together with the title,
thus finding it in order to put the "next block" (the<para>) on the
subsequent page?
If so, is there a workaround other than moving the<indexterm> block
further below (ugly from a maintenance standpoint)?
If not, what's the likely cause of the rendering issue?
Thanks in advance for any pointers!
