Here is the snippet where I think FOP is being erratic. Typically, I see a linefeed from TEXT 1 & TEXT 2 in one page and LAST TEXT in a different page. But sometimes, TEXT1, TEXT2 & LAST TEXT appears in the same page w/o any linefeed. Does it make any sense ? <fo:block linefeed-treatment="preserve" white-space-collapse="false"> <fo:block font-family="Courier" font-size="10pt"> <fo:block space-before.optimum="5pt" space-after.optimum="10pt" padding-right="0.5in" padding-left="0.5in" text-align="left" line-height="12pt"> TEXT 1... <fo:block white-space="pre" white-space-collapse="false" linefeed-treatment="preserve"/> <fo:block margin-left="0.0in"/> <fo:block/> </fo:block> <fo:block margin-left="0.0in"/> <fo:block/> </fo:block> <fo:block font-family="Courier" font-size="10pt"> <fo:block space-before.optimum="5pt" space-after.optimum="10pt" padding-right="0.5in" padding-left="0.5in" text-align="left" line-height="12pt"> TEXT 2... <fo:block white-space="pre" white-space-collapse="false" linefeed-treatment="preserve"/> <fo:block margin-left="0.0in"/> <fo:block/> </fo:block> <fo:block margin-left="0.0in"/> <fo:block/> </fo:block> ... </fo:block> <fo:block keep-together.within-page="always" font-family="Courier" space-before="5mm"> LAST TEXT ... <fo:block white-space="pre" white-space-collapse="false" linefeed-treatment="preserve"/> <fo:block margin-left="0.0in"/> <fo:block/> ... </fo:block> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: fop-users-unsubscr...@xmlgraphics.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: fop-users-h...@xmlgraphics.apache.org
