pdf2 top level topics starting new page.   Message List

Re: [dita-users] pdf2 top level topics starting new page.

We found that by default, top level topics shouldn't break to a new page. In our customized pdf2 code, we create a page break only if <topicref outputclass="break"> is specified by the author. In that case we apply <xsl:attribute name="break-before">page</xsl:attribute> to the <fo:block> that formats the topic. I would check for a similar page break attribute in an attribute set called "topic.topic.title" in your pdf2 code. Might be something in there that is causing the behavior you describe.

Trying to sort through changing the FO so the top level topics in a
ditamap don't start a new page. I don't see anything in the attribute
sets that should be causing it, so I'm thinking top level topics are
their own FO block or something, but I can't tell as I can't seem to
find the FO file. Seems like I used to know how to find this, but I've
lost it.

Any suggestions on how to get topics to not start a new page, or how I
can find the FO so I can sort it out myself?

Hey Shawn, This behaviour is hard-coded; to change it you'll need to override a template in demo/fo/xsl/fo/commons.xsl, around line 184: <xsl:template...
