Re: [docbook-apps] towards smaller XSL-FO page-sequences (due to limitations in FOP)

["Bob Stayton" <bobs@sagehill.net>]

Before we get into breaking up a chapter page-sequence into multiple page
sequences, I'd like to know more details about what the problems are that
FOP has with long chapters.  What kind of error messages do you get?  Are
you sure it isn't the overall document length, and not a page-sequence
length?   Have other people run into this problem with FOP?
