Hello all,
Sorry if this is a faq, I couldn't find it anywhere.
I was looking for a solution for my absolute positioning with fop problem, and I found http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=fop-user&m=102629332018796&w=2. That solved my problem, but I cannot find the 'position' attribute in the fo reference on zvon.org. My questions are as follows:
- Is it just the documentation on zvon.org that is missing, or is 'position' fop-specific?
- Did I use absolute-position the wrong way? Here is a short sample, I used it like on http://www.dpawson.co.uk/xsl/sect3/fofixedposn.html:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?> <fo:root xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format";> <fo:layout-master-set> <fo:simple-page-master master-name="my-page"> <fo:region-body margin="1cm"/> </fo:simple-page-master> </fo:layout-master-set>
<fo:page-sequence master-reference="my-page">
<fo:flow flow-name="xsl-region-body">
<fo:block-container absolute-position="fixed"
top="0cm"
left="5cm"
right="8cm"
bottom="3cm">
<fo:block font-size="8pt">Hello, world! Hello, world! Hello, world! Hello, world! Hello,
world! Hello, world! Hello, world! Hello, world! Hello, world! Hello,
world! Hello, world! Hello, world! Hello, world! Hello, world! Hello,
world! Hello, world! Hello, world! Hello, world! Hello, world! Hello,
world! Hello, world! Hello, world! Hello, world! Hello, world! Hello,
world!</fo:block>
</fo:block-container>
</fo:flow>
</fo:page-sequence>
</fo:root>
A related question: I tried both Fop and XEP on the file above. XEP rendered it with the text aligned to the top of the page, not leaving the margin="1cm" of the region-body. Isn't absolute-position relative to the parent element? Fop rendered it correctly, except that it did not respect the 'left="5cm"', it just aligned it to the left of the page-region.
I've tested all these things with Fop 0.20.5rc and Xep demo edition.
Thanks for all answers!
cheers,
roel
