Re: WG: keep-together or span

--> Which keep-* properties are supported by XMLmind XSL-FO Converter is 
documented here:

http://www.xmlmind.com/foconverter/conformance.html

Please search for "keep-".



--> Using a table such as the one found below should meet most of your 
expectations.

Notice the use height="3em" on a row and display-align="center" on some 
cells to get the kind of layout you seem to want.

Notice the id="last-page" found inside the table and not in a separate 
empty fo:block.

However if a empty paragraph is added after the table, then I'm sorry 
but there is no way to meet all your expectations.

<fo:table margin-top="12mm"
           keep-together.within-page="always">
   <fo:table-column column-width="65mm"/>
   <fo:table-column column-width="65mm"/>
   <fo:table-body>
     <fo:table-row>
       <fo:table-cell number-columns-spanned="2">
         <fo:block>The Simpsons Co.</fo:block>
       </fo:table-cell>
     </fo:table-row>
     <fo:table-row height="3em">
       <fo:table-cell display-align="center">
         <fo:block id="last-page">Bartholomeo</fo:block>
       </fo:table-cell>
       <fo:table-cell display-align="center">
         <fo:block>Lisa</fo:block>
       </fo:table-cell>
     </fo:table-row>
   </fo:table-body>
</fo:table>
