how to avoid page break after span="all"

[Manuel Strehl <ma...@stud.uni-regensburg.de>]

Hi.

I'm using FOP 0.90 and am just about to despair on that one:

My XSLT, two columns defined in the region-body, looks something like

<block span="all">Heading spanning both columns</block>
<block>all the other stuff in two columns</block>

Now FOP places the heading over the two columns, no problem. But at the 
same time it breaks the page after the heading block. The result looks like


Heading spanning both columns

---new page ---
all the other stuff in two columns


Has anyone a clue, how I could avoid this page break?

Thanks and best regards

Manuel

Alright, I switched to 0.92beta and the mysterious page breaks disappeared.

Thanks for the help!

Manuel

PS: I tried keep-with-next before, but it didn't have any effects...

FOP 0.90 is alpha quality. There have been 2 builds since then which fix 
a wide range of bugs. I recommend you upgrade to the latest release 
0.92beta. Out of interest what problems are you having?

It's difficult to guess whats happening wihtout seeing a sample. I know 
that 2 or 3 bugs in the column balancing algorithm have been fixed since 
the 0.90 release. One thing you could try is using keeps, so put 
keep-with-next="always" on the heading block.
