Hi,
Thanks for confirming that I am not going mad.
:)
Unfortunately the padding at the bottom will
not really achieve the result I am after. I want to allow the block to
grow with it's content but ensure that it is AT LEAST a certain
size.
It look like I will have to use a table with a
'hidden' block which uses the padding that you have specified. It's a
bit of a nasty fix.
Surely someone else must have come across this
before.
Andy

You're right !!
I've tried with the padding-bottom attribute,
and it does work, but it may not fit your needs...
just try this :
<fo:block padding-bottom="15cm"
background-color="silver">

Guillaume

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

why don't you simply specify the 'height'
attribute ?

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
