FWIW: I've always considered the insertion of empty blocks more like a FO-hack, a way to trick the processor. Very useful trick, in some cases though. I've seen especially creative use of it in combination with conditional negative space-before or space-after (a Norman Walsh/ Docbook idea, IIRC) OTOH, if you /can/ do without them --i.e. there are no properties specified on the block, so it's only used to emulate HTML's -- then it's always better not to use them. Reason is that the Java object corresponding to a fo:block is fairly large, even for empty blocks. The less of them, the better for the memory footprint. On top of that, the XSL transform should become much, much simpler, as it becomes only a matter of adding an attribute.

If you want to introduce newlines in the rendered PDF, there is no use whatsoever to use line breaks the way we explained to you, because this is treated as whitespace and handled accordingly by FOP (or any xsl-fo processor for that matter). Most likely you just want to use ... I do not understand why you want an attribute to contain \r\n as it whitespace has no influence on the rendering process. Perhaps you mean it the other way around: your source document contains some attribute with newlines in it and you want these newlines to be turned into . This is then an XSLT question and the answer depends on what version you use. In XSLT 2 you can do the following: etc Your best bet for this kind of questions is the XSLT list at mulberry tech's: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list/index.html.

XSL - NewLine
Hello all, I need to put manually new line in a pdf document and it has to be for the @value field. I know, to put a new line I should use a new block, but Is it possible to put some kind of "\r\n" string into the value to format it? This XSL document is used to convert an XML document to PDF with either FOP 0.20.5 or 0.93 used embedded in a java 5.0 code. Thank you for your help.
