The answer is very simple: you cannot.
The formatting process is arm's length from the transformation
process. There is *no* feedback loop. You create your flow with enough
contingencies for the the formatter to handle different situations (like
keep-together, break, etc.). There is *no* query of the current state of
the formatter.
