Re: [xsl] Keeping Text Together

Hi Ken,

Thanks for taking the time to response to my post. Yes, I have tried using 
<block keep-together.within-column="always"> and the result is the same as 
detailed below.

Here is how the "<br>" element is handled:

<!--=======+Line break (br) template+=======-->
<xsl:template match="br">
    <fo:block break-after="auto">
      <xsl:choose>
        <xsl:when test="parent::productname">
          <fo:block keep-together.within-column="always">
             <xsl:apply-templates/>
          </fo:block>
       </xsl:when>
       <xsl:otherwise>
          <xsl:apply-templates/>
       </xsl:otherwise>
      </xsl:choose>
    </fo:block>
</xsl:template>

Thanks again,
S. Egrub

It seems strange that you would put a block 
inside of an inline.  You don't show how you are handling "br" elements.

But, regardless, have you considered using the following:

  <block keep-together.within-column="always">

I hope this helps.
