Hi Luca, First of all: compliments on yet another Nice Job! > At the moment the page breaking algorithm is quite "strict": it tries to > insert every footnote in the same page where their citation is (the last > footnote body could be split, and partially deferred to the next page).

Optimistic interpretation: I think that is meant to refer to the cases where a footnote citation appears in the last block on a page, so it is not necessary to move the whole block to the next page just because a few of its footnotes don't fit. <snip /> > - is it correct to assume that the footnote separator is the same on each > page containing footnotes, or it could have some page-dependant content? > At the moment, its areas are obtained only once, and repeated in each page > where a footnote is inserted. AFAICT 'xsl-footnote-separator' is meant to be specified as the flow-name property on an fo:static-content, so in essence they are meant to be mostly the same for an entire fo:flow (~ fo:page-sequence), BUT... One thing I wonder about: Is it allowed to have sth like <fo:static-content flow-name="xsl-footnote-separator"> <fo:retrieve-marker .../> </fo:static-content> In which case the content of the separator *would* be page-specific...? <snip /> Cheers, Andreas
