Flow Area with explizit height inside an "normal" flow area?

[ne...@swisslab.de]

Hello List,

I ve a project where I ve got flow content going up to several pages. Inside
this flow content I want to insert another flow content whose measures where
set up by a user previously. The user controlled content should be outputted
as is. Means that if the flow content to be inserted has a height of 10cm a
page break should be performed after 10cm. The to be entered content comes
at once, without any other content in between. After it was inserted the
"normal" content is supposed to be outputted in the flow area using the
region-body scale definitions.
Hm, I hope I could make myself clear :)

Does anybody have a idea how this could work?

Thanks, Jan

It's not requested by any of my clients and not on my personal priority
list, I'm afraid. So: no, not in the near future. But it don't think it
would be very hard to implement if you want to do it yourself. I can
give you some pointers if you want.

With overflow="repeat" (defined in the latest XSL 1.1 CR) I think this
could be done, but this would have to be implemented, first. However,
I'm not sure if you can reliably force every container on a new page if
the container's height is less than half the available content height on
a page.

Not sure if I understand you but I guess you'd insert the fixed content
into a (relatively positioned) block-container (works only with FOP 0.90
and later) where you set the height or block-progression-dimension
property and a break-after="page".
