Widows and linefeed-treatment="preserve"

[Andrew McFarland <aa...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I'm having trouble with widows on fo:blocks where linefeed-treatment
is set to preserve. I'm using FOP 0.94. When I process the attached
fo, I get a PDF with a one-line widow at the start of the second page,
even though widows for that fo:block is set to 4.

Can anyone explain what is going on here?

(Some background to the problem: I'm using FOP to produce PDFs from
DocBook via the 1.73.2 XSLT. I'm trying to control the widows and
orphans for the output from <literallayout/> elements. The attached fo
was a file I wrote from scratch that demonstrates the problem.)

Hmm, FOP seems to treat the individual lines as separate paragraphs and
therefore doesn't apply widow/orphan treatment. But XSL says: "The
"widows" property specifies the minimum number of line-areas in the last
area generated by the formatting object." That means this is a bug.
Andrew, would you mind opening a bug in Bugzilla [1]? I suspect this may
not be so easy to fix.
