Re: Erratic behavior of keep-together.within-page=
Hi, there is no best method to insert line breaks; this depends on context. If you have a text containing LF that must be preserved, it should be nested in a single fo:block. As a good practice, a fo:block with LF-treatment=preserve should not contain extra fo:blocks.

Re: Erratic behavior of keep-together.within-page=
Hi, Your snippet gives me expected output, and *all* LF are taken into account, comprising those between empty blocks, and those before and after opening/closing tags. Note that when LF-treatment is preserve, embedding multiple fo:block can give unwanted output, hard to predict or understand. You should replace empty blocks with explicit LF, that should give a more readable code. removing LF before, between and after tags can help too. As a debug help, you can colorize your fo:blocks (using background-color for filled blocks or border-after for empty blocks), this will give an easy-to-understand output, that can help to debug XSL-FO or XSLT.
