<Fo:Block> Overflow onto new page (Formatting Objects)

[morrell]

I have a request to find out is there an easy way to solve this little
poblem.


___________________
| Block 1 |
| |
| |
| |
|__________________|
| Block 2 |
| |
|__________________|

Block 1 is a variable size.
Block 2 is a constant size.

How would I keep block 2 as a solid block with no overflow onto another
page if Block 1 is too big for one page.

eg.
Page 1
___________________
| Block 1 |
| |
| |
| |
|__________________|
| Block 2 |
|__________________|


Page 2
____________________
| Block 2 |
|__________________|

Where I want the whole of Block 2 together as a solid block so i'm
looking for:-


Page 1
___________________
| Block 1 |
| |
| |
| |
|__________________|

Page 2
____________________
| Block 2 |
| |
|__________________|

Any help would be great.

Thanks Magnus

Found out the FOP processor we are using does not support keep-together
in blocks. Unfortunate really but I have discovered it will work on a
table-row.
Not the best of ways round but it will do until support is provided in
the engine we use.

Thanks again
