    Hi,
    There are very few instances of keep-together set to "always" in the stock FO
    stylesheet, and itemizedlist and listitem are are not included. So I'm not clear why
    your lists are running off the page, as there should be no keep-together properties
    present.

    Can you peek inside the FO at the fo:list-block and fo:list-item elements and see if
    there are keep-together attributes on them? If so, are they coming from a
    customization layer, by any chance? If not, then the keep-together mechanism is not
    the problem here, and it may be a bug in how FOP handles list elements.

    The DocBook list and the listitem templates will check for a keep-together processing
    instruction, and it will apply the value of that only if it is present. You could try
    adding a



    just after the start tag of the list element or the listitem element to see if that
    will allow it to break. If not, then the problem is not the keep-together property,
    but some other issue with FOP.

    No, no "keep-together" attributes.

    I've posted the problem to the fop user list.

    Thanks, Bob.
