Re: [xsl] Getting a block to end on the last page

2011-12-01 09:53:43
The thing I probably didn't make clear is that i don't know how many
pages the full thing will be, or how many pages the charges will take
up, without a fairly heavy amount of pre-processing. So, I could do it
that way, but I wanted to see if there was an easier way to do it with
XSL-FO.

Thanks,

Hey, so, I've got some data (a list of charges for an invoice) that I
want to end on the last page, rather than start on the first. Say the
document is 3 pages (due to descriptions of other things in their
sections taking up that much room), and there are 7 charges. If 5
charges fit per page, I would want the list of charges to start on
page 2, print 5, then print the last 2 charges on the last page.

Is there an easy way I can accomplish this?


I think you are missing something in your question.

If you start on page 2 with either a page break or a new page sequence, and
simply flow your 7 charges, and the first 5 fit on a page, then without any
work the last two will be on page 3.

No special techniques are required.

What am I missing?

BTW, I have free UBL Invoice stylesheets available here if you want to see
how I've followed the United Nations Layout Key (UNLK):
