I'm not certain of the range of values > that layout dimensions consist of. There are other values, too. Have a look at org.apache.fop.datatypes.LengthBase and ...PercentBase which has a list of different values and value calculation rules. > > > To > > evaluate a > > percentage-enabled value the layout manager would > > have to call > > getLength() with some kind of context object that > > allows it to fetch the > > right base values for percentage calculations. > > I assume you're referring to "property contexts" as in > [1] below, correct? > > [1] > http://www.w3.org/TR/2001/REC-xsl-20011015/slice5.html#section-N6968-Property-Context Not exactly.
