Re: Keeping Text Together

It seems strange that you would put a block
inside of an inline.  You don't show how you are handling "br" elements.

Hi All,

I am trying to keep text in an element/tag
together and not separated across two pages when
generated in a PDF using XSL-FO. The text is in
<productname> tag in the XML snippet below has
a line break tag "<br/>" -- the text before and
after the line break tag should keep-together
always; however, it is breaking across two pages. See example below.
How can I get the text to keep-together always?

IT IS DISPLAYING/BREAKING ACROSS TWO PAGES LIKE THIS:

DAT Multiple Low Urine Control
============Page Break=========
DAT Multiple High Urine Control

THE REQUIRED DISPLAY IS AS FOLLOWS:

DAT Multiple Low Urine Control
DAT Multiple High Urine Control

<!--======+XML Snippet+======-->
<productInfo>
<systemname>SYNCHRON<superscript>.</superscript> Systems</systemname>
<productname>DAT Multiple Low Urine
Control<br/>DAT Multiple High Urine Control</productname>
<kitRef><Ref>474979, 474976</Ref></kitRef>
<forUse>For <emphasis role="bolditalics">In
Vitro</emphasis> Diagnostic Use</forUse>
</productInfo>

<!--======+Productname template+======-->
<xsl:template match="productname">
    <fo:inline font-size="16pt">
       <xsl:choose>
          <xsl:when test="child::br">
              <fo:block keep-with-next="always">
                 <xsl:apply-templates/>
       </fo:block>
   </xsl:when>
   <xsl:otherwise>
       <xsl:apply-templates/>
   </xsl:otherwise>
       </xsl:choose>
    </fo:inline>
</xsl:template>

Thanks in advancw for your help.

Regards,
S. Egrub
