Title: Programlising question

Is your programlisting inside an example element?  If so, then it is getting a keep-together.within-column="always" property on the block containing the title and content.  The attribute-set named 'example.properties' uses the attribute-set named 'formal.object.properties', which has that keep-together property by default.  If you don't want that behavior, you can use:

 

<xsl:attribute-set name="example.properties">

  <xsl:attribute name="keep-together.within-column">auto</xsl:attribute>

</xsl:attribute-set>

 

The "auto" value turns off the keep.

 

If you programlisting is not inside an example, then something in your customization layer is adding that property, because it is not in the default stylesheet for programlisting itself.

Subject: [docbook-apps] Programlising question

Hello All,

I need to format large pieces of code in my documents that are longer than one page. 

When the message in the program listing reaches the end of the page, it doesn’t break but disappears into the bottom margin. Is there a good way to get <programlisting> to break pages – like <para> - automatically?

Thanks, Scott
