Re: [xsl] Total number of pages with XSL-FO

[Nadia.Swaby@xxxxxx]

Hi All

It worked like a charm.  I feel kinda silly now.  I don't know why neither
me nor my predecessor thought of it before (I think it didn't occur to him
because the first time he attempted this strategy, we were using FOP.  But,
there is no excuse for me!).

Thanks to every one for their help and brilliant ideas!

Nadia

I must have confused your issue with some other issue.

Sorry about that.

If you can put keep-with previous on the empty ID block, that should keep
that blank page from popping up.

Actually, I am using Antenna house, it does support keep-with-previous ,
and I just thought about that 5 mins ago.  I will try after lunch.

That'd be great, Jirka, but Nadia is using FOP (if I recall correctly),
and the current version of FOP only supports keeps on tables.

Wouldn't it be easier to do just:

<fo:block id="last-page" line-height="0" keep-with-previous="always"/>

There will not be need to surround last block in document with the
table. (I'm assuming that FO processor supports keep-with-next, which is
not case for FOP.)
