RE: [xsl] xsl:fo - keeps and breaks problem..

["Andy Joslin" <andy dot joslin at ri3k dot com>]

Thanks Dave,

I've just been playing around with this but to no avail. I haven't
exhausted every permutation yet though, so I'll keep on with it...

I notice on the FOP site that "keep-with-next", though implemented, is
marked as broken, so perhaps it's a question of working out exactly what
the limitations are.

Maybe it's also time I played around with XEP, so I'll try the same
stylesheet with that and see what happens.

>> Perhaps the keep-with-previous (or next) with a given strength for
its successor, slightly >> higher or lower than the opposing keep.

Part of the problem though is that I'm using one template for all the
results, so I want to be able to add a single attribute to the fo:block
that applies to all situations. 


regards


Andy





How about the strength of the keep?
http://www.w3.org/TR/xsl/slice7.html#keep-with-previous
 and 
http://www.w3.org/TR/xsl/slice4.html#keepbreak

Keep conditions are imposed by the "within-page", "within-column", and
"within-line" components of the "keep-with-previous", "keep-with-next",
and "keep-together" properties. The refined value of each component
specifies the strength of the keep condition imposed, with higher
numbers being stronger than lower numbers and the value always being
stronger than all numeric values.

Perhaps the keep-with-previous (or next) with a given strength for its
successor, slightly higher or lower than the opposing keep.

That would add weight to the glue one side over the other?

That presumes that fop implements them. See fop literature for details
