    Hello Oliver,

    OB> Hi Alexander,
    OB> Using floats here seems to me as a kind of "tag abuse" ;-)

    Well, may be, but you have no choice anyway :-)

    OB> Anyway, thanks a lot. But again, that whole float has to fit on one

    OB> So either I insert manually the break (by dividing it into two floats)

    OB> <pre>line 1
    OB> line 2
    OB> line 3</pre>
    OB> into a sequence of floats, one per line ... (ouch!)

    I think XSLT chunking is a reasonable approach, but personally I would
    prefer to create bigger chunks, not one line long.

    OB> PS: your example fo has a border="thin solid green" on fo:float, but
    OB> the result doesn't show any border.

    This is just a mistype. I have accidently added it during debugging.
    And float has no border according to XSL FO spec so it shouldn't be printed.
    Note that you still can specify border-* properties on fo:float in
    case you want to retrieve their values on the float descendants using
    "from-parent()" function.
