DOCBOOK: Re: How to keep information on one page?

/ Kraa de Simon <Simon.de.Kraa@icl.nl> was heard to say:
| For some of the information it is important that it is displayed on one page
| (if possible).
|
| Something like:
|
| <try_to_keep_on_same_page>
| 	<para>These paragraphs</para>
| 	<para>must be</para>
| 	<para>displayed on one page</para>
| 	<para>if possible.</para>
| </try_to_keep_on_same_page>
|
| Is this possible?

Maybe. This is a presentation issue and it depends on the formatter
that you're using.

| Currently using docbkx412 and docbook-xsl-1.48.

You'll probably have to create a customization layer that puts

  <fo:block keep-together="always">
    ...
  </fo:block>

around the stuff you want to keep together. That should work, though
some FO processors may not support it. And, of course, if the stuff is longer
than a physical page, you'll probably get a page break anyway. :-)

                                        Be seeing you,
                                          norm
