New to FO, this is my understanding and problem:
the property keep-together.within-page="#" brings the block to the next
area if it won't fit in current area. However, if block won't fit in next
area, the "keep" is suppose to be ignored, and the block flows from the
last area and into the new area, not start in this new area.
The sample below has 3 sections. Section 2 is too big to fit on page one,
following section 1. So it should move to the next area (page 2).
However, since section 2 is still too large to fit in this area, the keep
should fail, and section 2 should begin on page 1 and carry over to page
2.
In short, I am trying to get each section to start at the top of a page,
unless they are too large, then they should start immediately following
the previous section (same page previous section ends).
(I am using antennaHouse formatterv4.3mr5 which is suppose to support
numeric keep values.
help?
