Certainly there is an easy solution in XSL-FO ...
I use the following technique in the student list
of the name tents for the students of my XSLT,
XQuery and XSL-FO classes, which applied in your
situation would look like the following:
<block text-align="justify" text-align-last="justify">
blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
blah<leader leader-length.minimum="0pt"
keep-with-previous="always"/><leader
leader-length.minimum="0pt" keep-with-next="always"/>Author
</block>
When I do this on my name tents I start with:
<block text-align="justify" text-align-last="justify">
name<leader leader-length.minimum="0pt"
keep-with-previous="always"/><leader
leader-length.minimum="0pt" keep-with-next="always"/>address
</block>
And to force the breaks (as I think you will have
to do with the author value but not the paragraph text), I refine this to:
<block text-align="justify" text-align-last="justify">
<inline
keep-together.within-line="always">name</inline><leader
leader-length.minimum="0pt"
keep-with-previous="always"/><leader
leader-length.minimum="0pt"
keep-with-next="always"/><inline
keep-together.within-line="always">address</inline>
</block>
And I see:
John Smith Sydney, Australia
Jane Doe
New Westminister, Canada
Jim Jones London, England
If I make the two leaders visible for you, using
"-" for the first one and "_" for the second one, the lines look like this:
John Smith-_Sydney, Australia
Jane Doe---------------------
_____New Westminister, Canada
Jim Jones---__London, England
I see your problem as simply a version of the
above problem, so I think this will work for you.
It is based on the principle that a leader grows
on a justified line as long as it can, and in
sync with other leaders on the line, until the
line is full, and before any spaces are expanded for justification.
So, in all, your solution would look like:
<block text-align="justify" text-align-last="justify">
blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
blah<leader leader-length.minimum="0pt"
keep-with-previous="always"/><leader
leader-length.minimum="0pt"
keep-with-next="always"/><inline
keep-together.within-line="always">Author</inline>
</block>
I hope this helps. This is covered in my class
on XSL-FO, and those readers of the archive who
have my XSL-FO book, this is illustrated in the
figure on page 167 of the Seventh Edition.
