RE: page break

Thanks for your help, I did the current page/total page presentation like
this

-put at the end of the document a block with an id like this : 
<fo:block id = "lastBlock"/>

-refer to it like this : 
<fo:page-number-citation ref-id = "lastBlock"/>

And it works fine.

My problem of big block what I want to do is that in case if a block or
table bigger than a page, this block will be cut into two parts.
I would like to put a message at the end of the page where the block is cut.
This message could be this "Table continue on page N". And at the beginning
of the following page, before the rest of the block I would like to put
another message : "End of the table which begin on page N-1".

Excuse my English it's not my mother tongue...

...Sometimes clients requirements are hard to implement...

So if anybody have an idea please, help me.

Many thanks in advance.

Emmanuel

Iconfidential seems to be related with 007 ;-)

I'm not sure why you need to do this, given that you can't have a
block that's continued anywhere but on the next page (or can you?)

AFAIK you can't "catch the break event" other than getting the page
number using fo:page-number.

I never did it but something like putting a fo:page-marker at the very
end of your flow and referencing it on every page should do the trick.

I guess that markers, like with footnotes, could cause interesting
non-converging behaviour in formatters.

Will you sue me for having replied to this message? And what does
'iconfidential' mean? ;-)
