The FO property 'orphans' controls the minimum number of lines in a paragraph before a page break. The default is '2', and it sounds like you want to set it to '3'. When combined with the keep-with-next property that section titles have, it could achieve the results you want (assuming your FO processor supports that property). You could do this for the whole document by figuring out how to add orphans="3" to the <fo:root> element in the output. Until there is an attribute-set parameter for that element, you will have to do a customization of the root element template in fo/docbook.xsl. That is a big template for such a small customization. -- Bob Stayton 400 Encinal Street Publications Architect Santa Cruz, CA 95060 Technical Publications voice: (831) 427-7796 The SCO Group fax: (831) 429-1887 email: bobs@sco.com
