NOTE: I realize this post is from over a year ago. Its a good starting point for my question though.
The issue here is that a <fo:table:cell> takes up the full height of the containing <fo:table-row>, but the <fo:block> in the <fo:table-cell> takes up only the height it needs to display the content. What is needed is a way to make the <fo:block> take up the full height of the <fo:table-cell> when the height of the cell (and row) is determined by the content of another block. height="from-parent(height)" does not work. from-table-column() is not implemented. height="100%" does not work display="absolute" bottom="0in" does not work Has anybody come up with a way to make a <fo:block> take up the full height of the containing <fo:table-cell>? > I have a table-cell that hasïone word in it; "Notes:". > The coloumn next to it has a dynamic amount of text in > it.ïWhat I'd like toïhave is the border around the > single word toïbe the same height as the text colomn > next to it. > > Below isïsomeïxsl-fo that demonstrates what I'm > talking about...
