Re: [docbook] Line spacing

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

Then you can output a processing instruction like <?break?> using XSLT as 
follows:

<xsl:processing-instruction name="break"/>

Then your docbook stylesheet customization can process that into an empty 
fo:block to create the line break.
