Hello Jaideep,
you have to search this nodes on which you have to create a new page. This
can happen with the code below. Sorry, that I don't know the FO code. I hope
my pseudo FO XML shows you the way.
<xsl:param name="cols-on-one-page" select="10"/>
<xsl:template match="nodes">
<xsl:apply-templates select="node[position() mod $cols-on-one-page = 1]"
mode="new-page"/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="node" mode="new-page">
<new-page>
<xsl:apply-templates select=". | following-sibling::node[position()
< $cols-on-one-page]"/>
</new-page>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="node">
<col>
...
</col>
</xsl:template>
Regards,
Joerg
