Dear sirs,
I'm writing to ask some advices about Formatting Objects.
I should have a question. If I read the actual XSL WD I don't mean
well how I may decide page-breaks and 'who' must decide page-breaks.
Is 'a FO document' already completely paged or have another
formatter
to decide for example if a paragraph at the end of a page must be break?
Are the only feature for print formatting 'break-before,
break-after, keep, orphans, widows'?
May you help me with some suggestions of how you 'face' the problem
(it's very important to decide how implement software)?
Another last thing: which of the following 'FO document' is right?
1)
<fo:basic-page-sequence
xmlns:fo="< <http://www.w3.org/TR/FO>> <http://www.w3.org/TR/FO>">
<fo:simple-page-master name="even"/>
<fo:queue name="body">
........
</fo:queue>
<fo:simple-page-master name="odd"/>
<fo:queue name="body">
........
</fo:queue>
</fo:basic-page-sequence>
or
2)
<fo:basic-page-sequence
xmlns:fo="< <http://www.w3.org/TR/FO>> <http://www.w3.org/TR/FO>">
<fo:simple-page-master name="even">
<fo:queue name="body>
........
</fo:queue>
</fo:simple-page-master>
<fo:simple-page-master name="odd">
</fo:queue name="body">
........
</fo:queue>
</fo:simple-page-master>
</fo:basic-page-sequence>
Regards.
