Ah, thanks for pointing out that it’s due to the <example>
tag! I didn’t even think to yank the <programlisting> out of the
<example> to see if that helped. At least I’ve got a workaround until
this potential bug is fixed…
Yay!

I just confirmed your issue. It appears that the <example>
formatting is the culprit, as it works fine if the <programlisting>
is not wrapped by an <example>.
Unfortunately, this mere mortal doesn't have an answer so you'll
have to wait for the
Docbook gods to wake ;-)
This may be a bug?
Cheers,

Howdy!
I'm upgrading to FOP 0.95 from 0.20.5 and from 1.70.1 to
1.74 for the DB stylesheets. I’ve got a guide that has code snippets xincluded,
like so (from Bob’s section “Using XInclude for text inclusions”):
<example><title>My
program listing</title>
<programlisting><xi:include
href=""mycode.c" " parse="text"
xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude"/></programlisting>
</example>
With FOP 0.95/1.74.0 stylesheets, any long code snippets
that normally break correctly across multiple pages no longer occupy multiple
pages. Instead, the code snippet tries to be on a single PDF page (bleeding
into the header/footer). If it’s longer than the full page, the top part and
bottom part of the snippet gets cut off and is not displayed. If I just copy
the code directly into the XML instead of xincluding it, it breaks fine across
pages as expected.
Is this issue with Xincluded code snippets a known problem?
Is there anything I can do about it? My apologies if this has been discussed; I
tried looking in the archives and had no luck.
Muchas muchas gracias!
