Thanks Ken,
There will be no user-specified footnotes, lucky there. I'll give your
suggestion a try and get back with the results.

Subject: Re: [xsl] XSLFO block-container and how to flow text around it

I have a requirement where there is a block of text at the bottom of
the first page's body above the footer. The header, footer, and body
each have borders around them and a space around 0.25in between the
header border bottom and body border top and the footer border top and
body bottom border.
Instead of placing the text as part of the first page's footer, I used
a block-container and gave it the x and y positions to place it at the
bottom of the first page's body. At the moment body text is not flowing
onto the following page once it meets the block-container but
continuing through it. Which attribute(s) and
value(s) can I use to force the body content to flow around the
block-container?
No such properties exist. The block-containers are independent of the flow and
so the flow has no knowledge of them.
I recommend you start your first page flow with an empty block and footnote
that has what you want at the bottom of the first page. This will not work,
though, if you have user-specified footnotes, as it will flow above the ones
that follow on the first page.
I hope this helps.
