substitute in fo?

[Richard Bondi <rb...@ergito.com>]

Is there an fo: equivalent of the HTML <br/> tag in fo, which inserts a 
carriage return and a linefeed?

Or is the only possibility to start a new <fo:block>?

TIA,

conditional space-before?

[Richard Bondi <rb...@ergito.com>]

Dear All,

I would like my graphics to have space-before="12pt" ONLY IF they are not 
at the top of a page.

A work-around is to do this in XSL: if a paragraph is followed by a 
graphic, make its space-after="24pt", otherwise make its 
space-after="12pt". (Then if fop puts the graphic at the top of the page, 
it won't matter if the preceding para has a bigger space-after.) But I'm 
wondering if I can do this in fop instead?

TIA,
r:b:

You should try to use fo:blocks first, because this
allows you to set surrounding spaces and other
properties (there are other reasons probably not
important to you).
If you are for a quick hack, use a line separator
character &#x2028; to force a break.
