I need to print a XML file

[gadafi]

Hi:
I'm working with a XML file which is transformed by a XSL stylesheet. I have a problem because the list I get in HTML is going to be printed and I need to control the paging. Do you know how I can control the page breaks? All the data is shown in a table and some lines become multiline because of it length.
Thanks and help me please

HTML is a 'pageless' rendering technology. There is no direct way to fully control paging. We had the same requirements where I work and we've ended up going down the XSL:FO route.

Instead of your XSL stylesheet producing HTML as output, you need to write one to produce XSL:FO. This can then be used to generate PDFs, which are a paged technology. Do a Google for xsl:fo and have a look at Apache FOP (if you know Java).

You can also write a CSS to do paging.
