-------------------------------------

Hi Glenn. Thanks for your reply.

My use case is that we're using FOP on the XWiki project (http://xwiki.org) for 
exporting wiki pages (HTML) to PDF. And inside the wiki pages users can provide 
HTML syntax. And users often use "background" instead of the various 
"background-*" properties. So yes, we could transform the single "background" 
property into the various discrete elements (in our XHTML2FO.xsl stylesheet) 
but I though it would be nicer if the FOP project would support it OOB since 
it's so common. It would certainly make it easier for users of the FOP library 
to get that supported.

We're also hitting a similar issue with FOP-1423.Similarly, we could convert 
from "background-position" to "background-position-horizontal" and 
"background-position-vertical" in our pre-processing (our XSLT) but it would 
make the FOP library so much easier to use if it were done by FOP :)

Thanks for this nice project!

> The following input doesn't display any image in the PDF generated by FOP:
> {code}
> <fo:block role="html:div" 
> background="url(&quot;http://semiticsoft.com/resources/front_end/images/Icon-Globe-Small.gif&quot;)
>  no-repeat right center">
>   <fo:block space-before="0.8em" space-after="0.8em" text-indent="0em" 
> role="html:p">hello<fo:block role="html:br"/>world</fo:block>
>    </fo:block>
> </fo:block>
> {code}
> While the following does:
> {code}
> <fo:block role="html:div" 
> background-image="url(&quot;http://semiticsoft.com/resources/front_end/images/Icon-Globe-Small.gif&quot;)"
>  background-repeat="no-repeat" background-position="right center">
>   <fo:block space-before="0.8em" space-after="0.8em" text-indent="0em" 
> role="html:p">hello<fo:block role="html:br"/>world</fo:block>
>    </fo:block>
> </fo:block>
> {code}
> It would be nice if the "background" shortcut property could be supported:
