Hello,
Does anybody have any orphan control tips? I'm going for PDF/Print output, so I'm still using DSSSL stylesheets, which combined with my less-than-amazing programming ability has left me with the option of rewriting paragraphs to be slightly longer or shorter so that they break neatly.
I'm looking to move to XSL as soon as possible, which may be in the next couple of months. Or may not. I'm not entirely sure how the XSL:FO --> PDF transition is at this point-- mostly I've had poor luck trying to assemble the various bits of java or other code required to perform the transformations.
Is there some Orphan-control="yes" variable I'm missing? Or minimum lines per page, minimum words per line?
