Then, what you want is that all TEST must start on a new page, right?

---- Yes

Do you have sections others than TEST that must not start on their own new
page?

---- Yes - this is why I chose the PI method

Yes, it works also and might solve the blank pages issue, if you want continue
using the PI.

or inside it?

Then, in the TEST sections you could place

or any other @attribute="value" pair, remove the PIs, and use a variation of
the previouly send template.

I tested it before the section, i.e.:

+++++++ It appears that this is the only way to go. The PI will create its own empty block, which is the contributor to the extra page. Since I don't use XSL every day, how would I add the "break-after='page'" to the templates so that this FO attribute gets included in the block containing the section?

On each section you want be placed on a new page, use

Then, to your customization layout add:

<xsl:attribute-set name="section.properties">
<xsl:attribute name="break-before">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when
test="preceding-sibling::section[position()=1]/@condition='newpage'
or preceding-sibling::section[position()=1]/*/@condition='newpage'
or self::section/@condition='newpage'">page</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>auto</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:attribute-set>

I have not tested it, but theoreticaly it should work.

Hmmm, maybe there still is an issue here. I've tried your section template and it seems to do what it is told to do. However, the next page is blank and it is not marked as a blank page as others usually are. This is also at an end of a chapter, so the added page is the filler to make the next chapter start on an odd page.

I wonder if this is a two fold issue.

Actually, the issue is that you said that not all TEST sections are at the
same level, and I don't know if some of them could be nested, thus creating
the proper tests for your case is hard.

To start a TEST section on a new page only

"self::section/@condition='newpage'"

is required (well, a plain @condition='newpage' can be enought).

The other tests are intended to try to output the first non-TEST section that
start after a TEST section also into a new page, and that it what is failing
and hard to debug without having the book sources to can test it.

I have changed all of my sections to add the 'newpage' attribute and everything works as advertised.

Thanks!

Hi All,

I am requesting some assistance on this matter again.

My itemised list that appears within Sections looks ugly. There is not much indent between the list label and the list. For example:

1.This is an example.
10.This looks really bad.
11.And this too.

I want to specify an indent in my customization layer. Can anyone please direct me? Bob gives this example for HTML. I need it for XSL:


div.itemizedlist li {
padding-left: 1em;

}

Thanking you,
Dishaa
