Re: [xsl] Keeping Text Together

["G. Ken Holman" <gkholman@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

It seems strange that you would put a block
inside of an inline.  You don't show how you are handling "br" elements.

But, regardless, have you considered using the following:

  <block keep-together.within-column="always">

I hope this helps.
