[excerpt follows] <fo:block id="d0e373"> <fo:block font-family="sans-serif" font-weight="bold" keep-with-next.within-column="always" space-before.minimum="0.8em" space-before.optimum="1.0em" space-before.maximum="1.2em"> <fo:block font-size="14pt" break-before="page">The Cat FAQ</fo:block> </fo:block> <fo:list-block space-before.optimum="1em" space-before when i edited the .fo file and took out that attribute, then used FOP to generate the PDF, it was fine. this suggests that the docbook FO stylesheets are somehow doing this, which is what i'm about to look at. rday
