line-breaks?

I tried to insert some empty lines on a page where there's normally no
table. I used the construction proposed in the sample, an empty block:
<fo:block></fo:block>  
This doesn't work unless I put some text between. Surprisingly enough, the
sample is working, I copied the code from it, but I don't get no
line-breaks. Can anybody help me?
