Re: Keeping Text Together

Hi Ken,

Thanks for taking the time to response to my post. Yes, I have tried
using <block keep-together.within-column="always"> and the result is the same
as detailed below.

Here is how the "<br>" element is handled:
<!--=======+Line break (br) template+=======-->
<xsl:template match="br">
B B B  <fo:block break-after="auto">
B B B B B  <xsl:choose>
B B B B B B B 
<xsl:when test="parent::productname">
B B B B B B B B B  <fo:block
keep-together.within-column="always">
B B B B B B B B B B B B 
<xsl:apply-templates/>
B B B B B B B B B  </fo:block>
B B B B B B  </xsl:when>
B B B B B B  <xsl:otherwise>
B B B B B B B B B  <xsl:apply-templates/>
B B B B B B  </xsl:otherwise>
B B B B B  </xsl:choose>
B B B  </fo:block>
</xsl:template>

Thanks again,
S. Egrub

Re:  Keeping Text Together

It seems strange that you would put a block
inside of an inline.B  You don't show how you are handling "br" elements.
But, regardless, have you considered using the following:

B  <block
keep-together.within-column="always">

I hope this helps.
