Re: [docbook-apps] Page breaks for programlisting elements

Hi Michael,
Support for the keep-together processing instruction on programlisting should be 
there, but on inspecting the code, I find that it is not.  I consider this a bug, so 
could you please submit a bug report to the DocBook SourceForge project to get this 
fixed for the next release?  It is supported on para, so you could try putting the 
programlisting inside a para that contains only the keep-together processing 
instruction and programlisting.

A dbfo-need works if it precedes a block element.  Unfortunately, they do not work 
properly in FOP because it has not yet implemented all the properties needed to make 
it work.

Using FOP 1.0. Docbook XML -> FO -> PDF.

Some of the page breaks for my  programlistings look bad. They leave a
single orphan line at the bottom of the page. So the grey background box splits over 2 
pages.

 I have tried the following FO processing instructions for the relevant
blocks, but they have no effect.

<?dbfo keep-together="always" ?>  (is this only for formal objects --
 tables, figures etc?)

 <?dbfo-need height="2in" ?> (this does not "push" the following block on to
 the next page, as expected)
