Re: newbie - Minimum Block Heights

[Andy Bowes]

Hi Guillaume   I have tried using just the height attribute in the block e.g.   <?xml version="1.0"?> <fo:root xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format">  <fo:layout-master-set>   <fo:simple-page-master master-name="A4" page-height="29.7cm" page-width="21cm" margin-top="1cm" margin-bottom="1cm" margin-left="2cm" margin-right="2cm">    <fo:region-body margin-top="1.5cm" margin-bottom="2cm"/>    <fo:region-before extent="1.5cm"/>    <fo:region-after extent="2cm"/>   </fo:simple-page-master>  </fo:layout-master-set>  <fo:page-sequence master-name="A4" initial-page-number="1">   <fo:static-content flow-name="xsl-region-before">   </fo:static-content>   <fo:static-content flow-name="xsl-region-after">   </fo:static-content>   <fo:flow flow-name="xsl-region-body">    <fo:block>Before Block</fo:block>    <fo:block height="15cm" background-color="silver">This is the block contents</fo:block>    <fo:block>After Block</fo:block>    <fo:block id="end-of-doc"/>   </fo:flow>  </fo:page-sequence> </fo:root> I would expect to see a pretty large middle block with a grey background but this central block just fits around the enclosed text.  (See attached PDF file)   I am sure that I must be doing something obvoiusly wrong but I can't see it.   p.s. I am using FOP 0.18.1   Any pointers will be very useful.   Thanks Andy       ----- Original Message ----- From: Guillaume Patin To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, April 15, 2002 11:26 AM Subject: Re: newbie - Minimum Block Heights why don't you simply specify the 'height' attribute  ? ----- Original Message ----- From: Andy Bowes To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, April 15, 2002 12:13 PM Subject: newbie - Minimum Block Heights Hi   I am new to FOP and have hit a stumbling block pretty quickly.  I need to be able to set the minimum heigh of a block in the docuement and from the documentation though that this could be acheived using the following entries in the FO file:   <block min-height="2cm">Block Contents</block>   However I get the following warning when I attempt to transform this into a PDF:   "WARNING: property 'min-height' ignored"   What am I doing wrong here ?   Thanks   Andy
