XSL FO - Pagination

[Lincoln Nhari <Li...@mcbank.co.za>]

I need help with pagination. I am creating a master-detail report and I need
each master-record and to appear on separate pages. I am forcing a page
break after each master-detail set, but I end up with a blank page at the
end. Any ideas on how I can overcome this. I have included the structure of
my xsl at the bottom.

Thanks in advance.

The structure of my XSL is as follows at the moment:

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"

Hi, Lincoln

If the contents of your file are not private, can you send me the complete
thing as an attachment? You are using the older spec - I'll rework your file to
illustrate use of the new spec.
