Re: [xep-support] sticky block

Hi Bob,

put an empty leader into the the empty block container.

<fo:block-container><fo:leader leader-length="0pt"/></fo:block-container>

This will get the result you want. We discussed this in
the past, and it is the price for efficient handling of
keep conditions on block boundaries.
