Unexpected page splitting
I've recently just started using FOP and am having great difficulty
understanding how margins and space-after influence each other.
It's difficult to explain what the problem is without knowing what may be
causing it, so I have included an extract from the .fo document
For some reason the final block after the table and before the page break
gets split over 2 pages, despite the fact that there is very large amounts
of space available. This does not occur if the 'space-after' and
'space-before' attributes are removed from the <fo:block>s within the
<fo:table-cell>s.
So my questions are
(1) why does the page break occur despite the vast amounts of room remaining
on the page?
(2) is this the correct way to add padding to table-cells and if not, what
is?
Many thanks,
Ben
Here is an extract from the .fo file:

Are you sure you are sunning FOP? The FO above is illegal,
and I get
[ERROR] property 'page-master-name' ignored
[ERROR] Unknown formatting object
http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format^sequence-specification
[ERROR] Unknown formatting object
http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format^sequence-specifier-alternating
[ERROR] property 'page-master-even' ignored

[ERROR] property 'page-master-first' ignored
[WARNING] A 'flow-name' is required for fo:flow. This constraint will be
enforced in future versions of FOP
[ERROR] Error in line-height property value '(@Size}':
org.apache.fop.fo.expr.PropertyException: illegal character
Correct your this, and perhaps upgrade your FO proccessor.
