Re: [docbook-apps] force pagebreaks in a glossary

This will teach me to always test my answers before posting them.  8^)

A glossary as list is handled differently from other lists.  In the
make-glossary template, it explicitly selects only 'glossentry' elements to
process.  Since it is not a general 'apply-templates', the PI is never
selected for processing.

Also, it turns out that it is easier to use a separate PI template in
'glossary.as.list' mode.  Here is a complete solution that works with FOP:

<!-- This selects the PI as well as the glossentry elements for
processing -->
<xsl:template match="glossary">
  <xsl:call-template name="make-glossary">
    <xsl:with-param name="entries"
           select="glossentry|processing-instruction('pagebreak')"/>
  </xsl:call-template>
</xsl:template>

<!-- This is your old PI, which is no longer used for glossary entries -->
<!-- Page orientation and layout -->
<xsl:template match="processing-instruction('pagebreak')">
  <fo:block break-after="page"/>
</xsl:template>

<!-- This handles the PI in the glossary -->
<xsl:template match="processing-instruction('pagebreak')"
        mode="glossary.as.list">
  <fo:list-item break-before="page">
    <fo:list-item-label><fo:block/></fo:list-item-label>
    <fo:list-item-body><fo:block/></fo:list-item-body>
  </fo:list-item>
</xsl:template>
