Page breaks in RTF

Folks,

I am using version 0.93 of FOP in one application. However I have been
unable to put page breaks when using RTF as output format. Is there a way
that I can make this work?

Thanks for you help.

Qasim,
 
I played with mine and determined that "-.07in" causes a page break but "-.05in" does not.  So it might just be that you have to find that magic number for your situation.  Since I don't know why it is causing the page break, I don't know how to figure out the magic number other than trial and error.  Sorry.
 
The only other thing that I notice is I use an empty block that's only there to cause the page break.  So like
   <fo:block space-before="-.7in" break-before="page"/>        <!-- empty block -->
   <fo:block xsl:use-attribute-sets="nopadding nomargin">    <!-- not sure about page break here also ? -->
                <fo:table width="100%">
                   ....
               </fo:table>
   </fo:block>
 
Sorry that I can't be more helpful with a real answer.
 
Phyllis

Phyllis,

Thanks for responding but I still cannot get page breaks to appear for RTF using the kludge. Here is how my xsl looks like

<fo:block space-before="-.7in" break-before="page" xsl:use-attribute-sets="nopadding nomargin"> 
            <fo:table width="100%" break-before="page">
                <fo:table-body>
            ...
        </fo:table>
</fo:block>

Any idea what I might be missing? 

Thanks

Qasim

Hi,
 
I recently tried to use FOP 0.93 to produce RTF output and also noticed that the page breaks didn't work.  I also noticed that a negative space-before on a block caused a page break.  So I kludged the xsl to cause a page break:
   <fo:block space-before="-.07in" break-before="page"/>
 
We gave up on trying to produce RTF output because of issues with the markers.
 
Good Luck 

Phyllis
