HELP : Embedding Large Number of Lines from an External File
Hi all,
My .fo file expects some content from an external XML file. This file
contains large number of lines with indentation. When I get FOP to generate
a PDF file out of this, I can observe that it just includes the bottom part
of the XML file that can fit into a single page. FOP also igonores line
indentation. Please advise how I could get FOP to have the content from the
XML in multiple pages with indentation unchanged. Hope this could be solved
by some XML-FO trick.

OK. I just tried your sample with latest FOP Trunk, and it reproduces
the issue, but...

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Here's what's bugging you. Specifying keep="always" on a block that
does not fit into one page triggers this issue. (Note that keep-* are
all inherited properties, so indirectly you're saying: keep this block
and all of its descendants together within the same column)
Why precisely FOP decides to only retain the last part, is a question-
mark for me at the moment, but removing that property suffices to have
the content distributed over multiple pages.
Besides that:

I added the property "white-space-treatment='preserve'" to retain the
indentation. If you don't specify it, the indenting spaces will be
suppressed because they a follow a preserved linefeed.
HTH!

Hi Andreas,

I switched to 0.94 due to some table formatting issue in 0.95 so that it not
an option.
Try to trim it down, then. Ideal would be the smallest possible FO that

Here we go ... also note that FOP does not preserve XML formatting when it
adds my content into the PDF.

Well my .fo file is quite huge so that not possible to send it over :-(.
