I'm relatively new to using FOP. I've got a document working fairly well,
but am having a difficult time doing a few things that I would have thought
to be "simple".
1. Cannot set the TOP MARGIN of a "xsl-region-before".
Setting it to anything is ignored and the data is always printed at the very
top of the page.
<fo:static-content flow-name="xsl-region-before"
margin-top="2cm" margin-left="2cm"
margin-right="2cm" >
2. Cannot set the FONT of a "fo:retrieve-marker" used in a
"xsl-region-before".
It seems to ignore my font setting and always print the same size.
<fo:block keep-together="auto" font-size="8pt">
<fo:retrieve-marker
retrieve-class-name="mrkState"
retrieve-boundary="page"
retrieve-position="first-starting-within-page"/>
</fo:block>
3. Cannot set the height of a "fo:leader" to a small amount.
The output is always preceeded by more white space than is desired.
<fo:block>
<fo:leader leader-pattern="rule" space-after.optimum="4pt"
space-before="0pt" line-height="1pt"/>
</fo:block>
4. Problem using "keep-with-next" across page and column breaks of
multi-column pages.
Thanks to Chuck Paussa, I made great headway on better controlling KEEPS in
a multi-column document by putting the data in TABLE CELLS. The
KEEP-TOGETHER seems to work fine within TABLE cells; however, the KEEP-WITH
NEXT does not appear to work.
Any insights on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Paul Thibodeaux
