Yes, because you have to be aware that XSLT happens before layout. FOP only gets the XSL-FO, no XSLT stuff. You don't have control over anything that goes on in FOP's layout process during XSLT. That's why I said you have to control page breaking yourself if you want to accomplish it in XSLT. > In fact, I have no problem with a statical layout, like here : > http://www.tatouage.fr/temp/cd_skin_example.pdf > Because, in this skin, I have one odd and one even page for each XML > <FICHE> tag, so it's really easy to control page break in this case. > > But on the other hand, I have skins like this one (my worst nightmare > actually) : > http://www.tatouage.fr/temp/cd_skin_example.pdf > And here, that's impossible for me to guess where I am, cause I control > page break with the keep-with-next properties... > > Thanks again for your help, that's really appreciated here ! :) You're welcome.
