hi,
i tried to use the keep-with-next property on a multi column page with
some text blocks that normally fits on one page with 4 columns.
my text consists of this sequence of text blocks: every 2nd block is
meant to be a headline and the the following block is the paragraph
belonging to that headline.
therefore i set the keep-with-next attribute on the headline blocks but
still the column break occurred between the headline and the paragraph.
looking in to the code i found that in
org.apache.fop.fo.flow.Block.layout(Area) the line:
this.keepWithNext =
this.properties.get("keep-with-next").getEnum();
does not have any effect , since the getEnum() method always returns (0)
because the
org.apache.fop.fo.KeepProperty(Keep) does not overwrite the getEnum()
method.
so i patched this so that this.keepWithNext got the value="5" (just to
see what will happen then ) but immediately i run in to another error:
the headline appeared on the bottom of the old column, a wrong page
break occurred (instead of a column break)
and the same headline appeared on the top of the new page.
if nobody else is currently working on this problems i would be willing
to do this, if i (as a someone who just started to try to understand the
fop source code) get some assistance from the fop gurus.
would you appreciate this?
