Dave - thanks for your patience,
Maybe I am being 'fussy', and I can do pre-process (but only in a batch
mode following rules - not a case-by-case basis).
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.
I'll drop this soon if I am just beating a dead horse, but wanted one last
chance to explain what I am trying/expecting to produce. Am I asking too
much from FO constructs, or just missing the boat?
help?
Mark

fo != frame engine :-)
1. You split it if you're fussy and want it just so.
2. Give the engine a 'hint' where to break it (or break it yourself,
pre-process step)
3. Give the break strength a low number and accept it's decision.
