Re: columns and a new page in FO

Hello Jaideep,

you have to search this nodes on which you have to create a new page. This
can happen with the code below. Sorry, that I don't know the FO code. I hope
my pseudo FO XML shows you the way.


<xsl:param name="cols-on-one-page" select="10"/>

<xsl:template match="nodes">
    <xsl:apply-templates select="node[position() mod $cols-on-one-page = 1]"
mode="new-page"/>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="node" mode="new-page">
    <new-page>
        <xsl:apply-templates select=". | following-sibling::node[position()
&lt; $cols-on-one-page]"/>
    </new-page>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="node">
    <col>
        ...
    </col>
</xsl:template>

Regards,

Joerg
