Hi Szeak, Thanks a lot! This sounds very promising indeed. I can't get it to work, however.
If I put <fo:flow flow-name="xsl-region-before"> inside my page-sequence definition I get the following error: org.apache.fop.fo.ValidationException: For "fo:page-sequence", only one "fo:flow" may be declared. (See position 222:48) If I create a new page-sequence and put it there FOP will end up in an endless loop and won't stop generating pages. I'm not sure this is the right way, although it really sounds promising. Maybe I'm just missing something. I uploaded my small example here: https://gist.github.com/michel-kraemer/af82f3e115afb877338a72fa34a539cf If you render it you'll see that there is an image between paragraphs 22 and 23. You'll also see that paragraph 20 breaks at the end of page 1 and continues at page 2. I want to place the image at the top of page two, so right in the middle of paragraph 20. Any ideas? Thanks for your help!
