Hi Pascal,
thanks a lot for your hint with the font-size! I succeeded in placing
the folding marks correctly by using a construction like this:
<fo:block-container
absolute-position="fixed"
top="104.8mm"
left="6mm"
width="6mm"
border-top-width="0.2mm"
border-top-style="solid"
border-top-color="black"
>
<fo:block />
</fo:block-container>
The distance from the top of the page has to be reduced by the width of
the block-container's border. As the block-container mustn't be empty, I
added an empty fo:block that does no harm.
Regards,
Johannes

Hi Johannes,
Your fo:block-containers are set at the right place.
fo:leader that you uses are correctly positioned, but since there is a
non-zero font-size (and non-zero font-height), you cannot have the
fo:leader exactly at the top of the fo:b-c.
Instead, you should use an empty fo:b-c with a border-top on it rather
than fo:leader.
HTH,
Pascal

Dear list,
I was preparing an XSL template for formatting a letter that conforms
the standard DIN 676. As the standard is very clear about the absolute
position of e.g. the address information to display in the window of the
envelope or the folding marks, I decided to use block-container absolute
positioning for these items.
Thus, I tried to make up a very basic stylesheet that contains the
folding marks at 105mm, 148,5mm and 210mm from top. Also, I included the
window for the address which is positioned at 20mm from the left and
45mm from top.
The curious thing about the processed PDF document is, that the top
positioning is about 3mm too far away from the top for the folding
marks, while the window top is positioned just fine. Also it seems that
the left positioning is not exact either, as there the distance to the
left is 1mm to little for the window.
I have set the margins to 0mm and used the absolute-position="fixed"
attribute.
You'll find a sample XML file, the XSL file and the PDF output file
attached. I have no idea, what else I could do. Am I missing something?
I really don't want to enter virtual proportions so that the letter will
look good when printed out.
Thanks and regards,
Johannes Caspary
