is there a possibility to check in xsl if there is enough space left on the

the page for some fo:block `s which do not have a break.
You cannot check it in XSLT, but you can ask the XSL-FO formatter to check
it by wrapping your blocks in a block with the keep-together= property set
to keep the set of blocks on the same page.
Your responsibility is to supply the contingent behaviour (the fact that
the set of blocks are to be kept together) and the formatter's
responsibility is to accommodate the situation by respecting your
contingencies (checking to see if the set of blocks fits on a page).
so my fo:block `s must held together and if there is not enough space left
on this page, there must be a page break and the fo:block `s are placed on
the
next page !
If the formatter finds that a quantity of the flow wrapped in a
keep-together= does not fit on a page, the constructs are moved to the top
of the next page.
I hope this helps.
