docbook-apps

What I have is a series of TESTS. Each test is a section. At the end of each TEST I have a "hard-pagebreak" which usually just forces the next section to start on a new page. However, if the section is "near" to the end of the pasge already, then it inserts another page.

The PI that I use is the one from the book.

<xsl:template match="processing-instruction('hard-pagebreak')">
<fo:block break-before='page'/>
</xsl:template>

I wonder, could I use "break-after='page'" instead of before?

If you meant "start a new page on this section but not in this other", in LFS
we have a customization that creates conditional new pages for sect1 based on
if a descendant sect2 contains role="package" or not:



<xsl:attribute-set name="section.level1.properties">
<xsl:attribute name="break-before">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when
test="preceding-sibling::sect1[position()=1]/sect2/@role='package'
or self::sect1/sect2/@role='package'">page</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:text>auto</xsl:text>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:attribute-set>

Note: This make use of @break-before just to avoid such extra blank pages.

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

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

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