Page Sequencing to conserve memory

[John Bourke <jo...@Cedar.com>]

I'm pretty new to XSL-FO and FOP and having problems with serious memory
usage on 500-1000 page docuements using tables as a reporting tool.

Being that I populate the data into the page sequence from my XML data file,
does anybody know of a way to end the page sequence after a screen full of
data and start a new page sequence.

I restrict my data in the XML to placing a screen full between
<FormFeed></FormFeed> tags. Ideally I would like to end the page sequence
when hitting a </FormFeed> and start a new page sequence for an open
<FormFeed> all within my stylesheet.

Any ideas?

Try
   <xsl:template match="FormFeed">
     <fo:page-sequence master-reference="...">
        <xsl:apply-templates/>
     </fo:page-sequence>
   </xsl:template>

and use
     <xsl:apply-templates>
in the context of the parent of the FormFeed elements.
