Re: [docbook-apps] where to include hard-pagebreak instruction?

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

Hi Paul,

Actually, the stylesheets do process anything under root for an article.  The template with match="article" in fo/component.xsl ends with:

 

<xsl:apply-templates/>

 

which means it applies templates to all children of the article element.  The "book" template in divison.xsl does the same.

 

When I put a hard pagebreak PI in an article after all sections and before a glossary, it works.  I'm not sure why it does not work for you.

Subject: [docbook-apps] where to include hard-pagebreak instruction?

Per Bob's book, I use the processing instruction <?hard-pagebreak?> in my documents to force page breaks, for example, before and after the glossary in my docbook with the root element as "article". However, including just <?hard-pagebreak?> by itself, (along with the correct FO code, of course), has no affect, because the stylesheets don't process processing instructions just under the root. If I do:

<para>
 <?hard-pagebreak?>
</para>

Then I get what I want, but then technically the resulting docbook is not valid.

Any suggestions?

Paul
