[xep-support] Re: keep-together and keep-with-next

Thank You for providing an example.
I will try to explain the problem in detail. I am trying the below scenario

<xsl:template match="xxxx">
     <fo:block keep-together.within-column="always">
           Stuff ...
            <fo:inline></fo:inline>
              Stuff....
     </fo:block>
</xsl:template>

The content in fo:block itself is in a loop and is dynamic I have only one fo:block in hand at a time, the first requirement is to keep this content within a fo:block with in a column. The content in a single block occasionally occupies 1-2 pages, in such cases sometimes the next fo:block just comes after the previous one and sometimes it comes in next column with gaps in the previous column and sometimes in next page all together.

I am trying to use keep-with-next with the same fo:block to achieve this requirement.

Thanks,

It is unclear without posting a sample, but the easiest solution to what you describe is:

<fo:block-container keep-together.within-column="always">
     <fo:block>Stuff ...</fo:block>
     <fo:block>More stuff that is optionally the second block to stick together</fo:block>
</fo:block-container>

For instance try this and you will see that para1 and para2 are never split apart at any column.

<fo:root xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format">
            <fo:layout-master-set>
                        <fo:simple-page-master page-width="700pt" page-height="780pt" master-name="first">
                                    <fo:region-body margin="1in" column-count="2"/>
                                    <fo:region-before extent="1in"/>
                        </fo:simple-page-master>
            </fo:layout-master-set>
            <fo:page-sequence master-reference="first">
                        <fo:static-content flow-name="xsl-region-before">

Subject: [xep-support] keep-together and keep-with-next

Hi Kevin,

I have 2 requirements currently

1)    To group content under a fo:block under a column

2)   To stick 2 different fo:block when necessary

I am trying to use the keep-together.within-column="always" and  keep-with-previous.within-page="always" in combination on the fo:block. But I am not able to achieve what
I want and the behavior of the fo:block is quite inconsistent.

Can we use them in combination at all ?

Thanks,
