Hi Tony,

With your amended code, I have injected it to the existing XSL, which
fails to output desirable PDF once again when working through the
Input XML.

I think one vital thing I did not made it clear enough in the first
place here is :

Instead of  the input you depicted below,  the correct ' input' is in
fact something like this:

---------------------------------------
<Map>
 <topicref href="GUID-1234">                 <concept id="guid-5678"
outputclass="pagebreak">
  Phone basics                                 <title>Explore and get
suppport</title>
 </topicref>                                   <conbody/>
 <topicref href="GUID-5678">       ------->  <concept>
 Explore and get support
 </topicref>
</Map>
---------------------------------------

On the same note, I did notice , when Antenna House compiled FO to the
resulting PSMI , it complained about the missing Page Master name. I
overcome it by ' refacoring the relevant 'Master-Reference'.
In short, when i debugged the specific piece of code  by
<xsl:message/>, it appears that that specific line of code does not
function at all. That  is why I explicitly specify the ' input' above.

Please could you advise?

Thank you,
