Re: [xsl] Getting a block to end on the last page

[Colin DeClue <colin.declue@xxxxxxxxx>]

The thing I probably didn't make clear is that i don't know how many
pages the full thing will be, or how many pages the charges will take
up, without a fairly heavy amount of pre-processing. So, I could do it
that way, but I wanted to see if there was an easier way to do it with
XSL-FO.

Thanks,
