Total agreement to everything Keiron just said.
However, that's not to say that we can't work up something that meets your
needs for 'keep-together' on fo:list-item. It's usually possible to take
care of a specific; as Keiron says it's the general case (making keeps work
everywhere that they are supposed to) that is rather more of an obstacle. I
have some ideas in regard to how you might want to tackle the problem you
describe and will elaborate this evening.

Unfortunately the the solution to the problem is not that easy. This is one
area that fop does not handle very well and we are in search of a solution.
The problem of keeps (and space resolution etc.) is one that spans across
the fo heirarchy in a number of directions. This makes it difficult to
handle without a rehash of how the layout is organised.
An effort is underway in this direction but there seems to be a fair amount
of resistance to change (from fop).
Hope this doesn't put you off.

Hi-
Well, I am trying to make my first contribution to
FOP. By working on bug 2988 which I submitted. I
willingly accept any and all help.
I tried forcing the status return from
ListItemLabel.layout to keep-with-next in an attempt
to force other code to handle keeping the
list-item-label and list-item-body together. That
didn't work, but keep-with-next is broken anyways, so
that is probably not unexpected. My thought right
now is to change
the end of ListItemLabel.layout to:
if(status == Status.OK) {
status = new Status(Status.KEEP_WITH_NEXT);
}
return status;
At least temporally, until I figure how to get FOP to
obey the keep_with_next when there is an
external-graphics as the first element in the
list-item-body.
Anything wrong with that? Any pointers in the right
direction?
