Take the following fo snippet: <fo:block font-size="24pt"> BIG <fo:inline font-size="12pt" vertical-align="top"> small top <fo:inline font-size="18pt" vertical-align="bottom"> medium bottom </fo:inline> </fo:inline> </fo:block>
Would one expect the text "medium bottom" to be aligned a) with the bottom of the text "small top" or b) with the bottom of the text "BIG"? I am asking this because my initial reaction was a), then my interpretation of the spec says the answer is b), and then testing it against RenderX gave a). Why b) - because according to section 7.13 (and this is well into the section) 'just changing the "font-size" property does not change the baseline-table in effect in the inner inline formatting object'. This means all 3 sections of text are aligned according to the baselines established by the fo:block. What do others think a) or b)? Manuel
