RE: [xsl] Character Report Overflow Pages

["Michael Kay" <mike@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

It's a fairly standard problem. Arranging data in multiple pages is
essentially the same as arranging in multiple columns, see

http://www.dpawson.co.uk/xsl/sect2/N7450.html#d10871e13

except that instead of putting the data inside a <tr> element, you want to
precede it with a page header.
