Probably not as this would be all one page kept in memory before rendering.

Andreas L Delmelle wrote: BTW: Is it a correct assessment that implementing this should turn out to be far simpler than fixed page-sizes? IIC, theoretically, the whole page-breaking algorithm can be ignored for indefinite page-heights. getAvailableBPD() would always return, say, Integer.MAX_VALUE? I don't think the breaking algorithm can be completely ignored, but it's a good idea to have getAvailableBPD() return an almost infinite value. Once the PageBreakingAlgorithm has created the single PageBreakPosition, it would be possible to use the stored difference in order to set the correct page height (otherwise the page would have height = Integer.MAX_VALUE even if it contains just a few lines).

No, this hasn't been implemented, yet. That would be media-usage="bounded-in-one-dimension" on fo:root. Patches against FOP Trunk are welcome. For the sake of completeness: page-height="indefinite" on fo:simple-page-master would also be relevant here, IIC. BTW: Is it a correct assessment that implementing this should turn out to be far simpler than fixed page-sizes? IIC, theoretically, the whole page-breaking algorithm can be ignored for indefinite page-heights. getAvailableBPD() would always return, say, Integer.MAX_VALUE? I'll look into it. Seems like a perfect opportunity to familiarize myself a bit more with the layout code. If anyone has any pointers to offer, these would be much appreciated. Cheers, Andreas
