the allusive 'keep'

...is there any elaboration on this? I am still not having any luck with
widow/orphan protection...for instance, I can't keep figure headings on the
same page as the figure itself...I've tried it two ways:

<xsl:template match="img">

 <!-- This is the heading -->
 <fo:block keep-with-next.within-page="always">
        Figure <xsl:number level="any"/>: <xsl:value-of select="@alt"/>
 </fo:block>

 <!-- This is the figure itself -->
 <fo:block keep-with-previous.within-page="always">
 	<fo:external-graphic>
                <xsl:attribute name="src">
			<xsl:text>file:./graphics/</xsl:text>
			<xsl:value-of select="@src"/>
		    </xsl:attribute>
     </fo:external-graphic>
 </fo:block>

</xsl:template>

------------------------- I've also tried this ------------------------

<xsl:template match="img">

  <!-- This is a block that contains the heading AND the figure itself -->
  <fo:block keep-together.within-page="always">
        Figure <xsl:number level="any"/>: <xsl:value-of select="@alt"/>
  	<fo:external-graphic>
                <xsl:attribute name="src">
			<xsl:text>file:./graphics/</xsl:text>
			<xsl:value-of select="@src"/>
		    </xsl:attribute>
     </fo:external-graphic>
 </fo:block>
</xsl:template>




Perhaps I'm missing something here?

many thanks,
jb

Hi, Jeff

What you're missing, I believe, is that the keeps support we have in FOP is 
very limited, and applies only to tables. I think fo:table-row 
specifically...could be wrong.

We have it as a matter of some priority to get some structural improvements 
worked out, and successful completion of that is what is leading to a 
perceived lack of progress on some useful things. I think I can speak for 
everyone involved when I say that we want to put wings on it. Also, many of 
our committers went through a real busy spell the last month or more, and if 
it hadn't been for a few remaining comitters and a bunch of developers 
stepping in we really would have stalled out for a while. I think things 
will pick up now...speaking for myself I see more time being available.
