[xep-support] fo:inline always kept together? / rotated text

[Alexander Peshkov]

Hello Sebastian,

1. I bet you have keep-together="always" on the surrounding block.
   In this case the explanation is as follows: keep-together is a
   compound property that splits into individual components each having
   the same value:
   
    keep-together.within-line="always"
    keep-together.within-column="always"
    keep-together.within-page="always"

   The first component pours down to the inline level (keep-together
   is an inheritable property), and disables line breaks in the text.
   That's why XEP tries to pack the whole block on one line; and I
   believe it's the kind of behavior prescribed by the XSL spec.

   To fix it, you have to relax your constraint. I believe a single
   keep-together.within-column="always" would be sufficient.

2. I think this question would be more appropriate for docbook-apps
   list. As far as I know 'rotate' attribute isn't supported by Docbook XSL
   FO stylesheets.

Best regards,
Alexander Peshkov                             mailto:peshkov at renderx.com
