[xep-support] RE: trouble with keep with next

XEP-SUPPORT,

I realize my attempt to simplify my problem might have made my pseudo code
in my previous email unclear because I didn't really show the templates
involved. You can assume the blocks are called multiple times within an XSL
template. I have just a single line that must be able to span the whole page
if necessary. The <rx:flow> section below it contains 3 columns that can
flow over multiple pages. I just need a way to make sure the first block is
never the last item on a page. The code looks more like this below.

Your help would be appreciated.

<xsl:for-each-group select="dir:person" group-by="dir:specialty">
     <xsl:sort select="current-grouping-key()"/>

           <fo:block padding-before="0.0625in" keep-with-next="always" >
                    <xsl:value-of
select="upper-case(current-grouping-key())"/>
          </fo:block>

           <rx:flow-section column-count="3" column-gap="0.5in">
                <xsl:for-each-group select="current-group()"
group-by="dir:persondata">
                      <xsl:sort select="current-grouping-key()"/>
                                    <fo:block
keep-with-next.within-column="always">
                                        <xsl:value-of
select="current-grouping-key()"/>
                                    </fo:block>

              </xsl:for-each-group>
          </rx:flow>

   </xsl:for-each-group>

Subject: trouble with keep with next

Xep-support,

In my code below, is it possible to be certain the first block is never the
last item in a page body? I just want to make sure that the data in the
first block is ever the last item on a page. The data in the flow section
may be more or less than a full page worth of data. I am using XEP 4.6
(might be 4.7, but I don't know how to find out). The documentation says
that keep-with-next.within-page="always" isn't supported. I've tried various
keep-together things. I've run into this issue before.

<fo:flow flow-name="xsl-region-body">

     <fo:wrapper font-family="{$FONT_FAMILY}"
font-size="{$PHYS_DATA_FONT_SIZE}">

          <fo:block keep-with-next.within-page="always">

Always One Bold Line . This line may span the width of the page

          </fo:block>

          <rx:flow-section column-count="3" column-gap="0.5in">

  <fo:block >

Column Data (could be pages of data)

             </fo:block>

        </rx:flow-section>

    </fo:wrapper>

</fo:flow>
