Determine Pagebreaks?
Is there anyway in fop 0.20.5 to determine when a page break has occured?
For example, I need to be able to redisplay a document section heading (e.g.
'Section 2 Continued...') when the section is spread over multiple pages.
Thanks.

Use break-fore or break-after attr in your block.

Doh! You know that one has gotten me about three times since I started
using this.

Transformation and FO layout are two different processing stages. There
is no way (well, no standardized way) feed back information from the
layout to the XSL transformation. This means, whatever you do in the
transformation, you wont get page numbers. A <fo:page-number/> or
<fo:page-number-reference/> will *not* evaluate to a page number during
the transformation.

I'm not sure that this will work (I'm making it up as I go) but couldn't you
use the grouping trick with the page number to test when the page number
changes between elements?

Nope. (Well, not through XSL-FO anyway; you would need to directly talk to
the AreaTree to achieve that...)

You may want to take a closer look at fo:marker/fo:retrieve-marker to
achieve a similar effect.
( see the sample files in FOP_HOME/examples/fo/markers to get the idea )
If you it's no problem to alter the XML/XSL in such a way to add markers to
every section, it should be a piece of cake :)
Hope this helps!

Andreas
