[xep-support] Conditionally outputting a block

[Alexander Peshkov]

Hello James,

JM> Simple question (probably demanding of a fiendishly clever answer...):

I can't say that I understand your problem well...

JM> Background - I'm outputting a catalogue. Said catalogue inevitably has
JM> large blank spaces at the end of some sections as each section starts on
JM> a new page.

If you want to start every section on a new page you better define
separate page-sequence for every section or use an explicit
"break-before" property on the first block of the section.

JM> Question - is it possible to define a block (or even better, blocks
JM> plural) that are only output if there is room for them on the "current"
JM> page?

If you want to prevent some blocks from splitting between the pages
you have to set keep-together.within-column="always" on those blocks.

JM>  I can sort of see how it might be possible, but I can't pressure
JM> of work prevents wandering off to explore the complexities without at
JM> least some indication that I'm going to looking for something that can
JM> actually be found!

More details about your goal would be helpful.

JM> TIA, Murph
