Re: [xsl] [FO] test end of page

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

Because the XSL-FO interpretation is arms-length from the XSLT 
transformation, one must always express the desired conditional processing 
in the stylesheet before the XSL-FO processor acts on the resulting 
transformation.  An example of such conditional processing is the set of 
"keep" properties.

No there is not.  You need to give the FO processor contingencies for being 
at the start of a page, rather than asking to go to the start of a new page.

You haven't described *why* you need to do a test ... chances are if your 
formatting requirement is quite ordinary that XSL-FO will be able to do 
what you want with a particular property or two and that you are only 
asking your question in the incorrect way.

I hope this helps.
