Hi, Nadia, Craig, and others,
Here's that link:
http://xml.apache.org/fop/compliance.html#fo-property-keepsbreaks
As you can see, the current version of FOP only supports keeps and breaks
in tables. That's how I wound up advising Nadia to put a blank paragraph
into a table last week - because I thought she was using FOP.
I understand that managing keeps and breaks is the issue that, more than
any other, drove the redesign of FOP. I also understand that the new
version of FOP should be out this year. Of course, it's being developed by
volunteers who also work day jobs to pay the bills, so no firm schedule
can be announced. Also, this is the world of software, where slipping
schedules seem to be the norm. Still, I think it's not overly optimistic
to look forward to a new and better FOP this year.

Re: [xsl] XSL-FO - Keeps & Breaks
Hi Craig,
Have you checked on the Apache website for FOP to see if it supports keeps
and breaks? We used to use FOP for rendering PDFs, and we found that for
the most part, FOP doesn't support keeps.

Hi, Craig,
Try keep-with-next="always" on each row of the table.

[xsl] XSL-FO - Keeps & Breaks
My XSL-FO transformation is rendering around 4 of the same tables per
page.
On the odd occasion there is not enough space to render 4 complete tables
on
a single page, the 4th table in this case is split with the contents
continued on the following page.
I need to keep the tables together. If reaching the end of the page,
tables
should not be split but rather start as a new complete table on the
following page.
I'm using the following code with the (keep-together="always") element,
with
no success: Can anybody suggest a solution? I dont want to use headers if
possible. I am using FOP.
<fo:block keep-together="always">
<fo:table>
<fo:table-column column-width="25mm"/>
<fo:table-column column-width="25mm"/>
<fo:table-body>
<fo:table-row>
<fo:table-cell>
<fo:block>Content 1</fo:block>
</fo:table-cell>
<fo:table-cell>
<fo:block>Content 2</fo:block>
</fo:table-cell>
</fo:table-row>
<fo:table-row>
<fo:table-cell>
<fo:block>Content 3</fo:block>
</fo:table-cell>
<fo:table-cell>
<fo:block>Content 4</fo:block>
</fo:table-cell>
</fo:table-row>
</fo:table>
</fo:block>
Many Thanks,
Craig.
