[ATT. Chris] Hi Chris and thank you very much for your efforts in helping me out. However, I started trying just to get the background color to be applied across all regions, and I have not succeeded.
Please tell me what I am doing wrong with this simple document. Only the region-body region gets blue background color. <fo:root xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format";> <fo:layout-master-set> <fo:simple-page-master master-name="master0" page-width="1191px" page-height="842px" margin-left="0px" margin-right="0px" margin-top="0px" margin-bottom="0px"> <fo:region-body margin-left="638px" margin-right="100px" margin-top="32px" margin-bottom="100px" background-color="blue" /> <fo:region-before background-color="blue" /> <fo:region-after background-color="blue" /> </fo:simple-page-master> </fo:layout-master-set> <fo:page-sequence master-reference="master0"> <fo:static-content flow-name="xsl-region-before"> <fo:block-container position="absolute" left="20px" top="20px" width="300px" height="20px"> <fo:block>I hoped this area would be blue as well.</fo:block> </fo:block-container> </fo:static-content> <fo:flow flow-name="xsl-region-body"><fo:block /></fo:flow> </fo:page-sequence> </fo:root> Regards, Dennis JD Myrén Developer Oslo Kodebureau Tel: (+47) 98 00 11 92 Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web: www.oslokb.no -----Original Message----- From: Chris Bowditch [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 7. januar 2005 15:02 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Page background color Dennis Myrén wrote: <snip/> > Is there a way to set the background color of the entire page, > regardless of whether objects are placed No, you cant set background color on the entire page. But you can set it on region-*. So in your case, as well as setting background color on region-body you will need to set it on region-before too. <snip/> > I would like not to repeat that static content, but rather have it > rendered only at the first page. This is straigt forward to achieve. You will need to create two fo:simple-page-master objects, one with a region-before defined and the other without. Then create a fo:page-sequence-master which uses defines which simple-page-master is used based on page-position. The fo:page-sequence then references the page-sequence-master. E.g. <fo:simple-page-master master-name="first" page-width="210mm" page-height="297mm"> <fo:region-body margin-top="20mm" background-color="blue"/> <fo:region-before region-name="firstHeader" extent="20mm" background-color="blue"/> </fo:simple-page-master> <fo:simple-page-master master-name="rest" page-width="210mm" page-height="297mm"> <fo:region-body margin-top="20mm" background-color="blue"/> <fo:region-before region-name="restHeader" extent="20mm" background-color="blue"/> </fo:simple-page-master> <fo:page-sequence-master name="all"> <fo:repeatable-page-master-alternatives> <fo:conditional-page-master-reference master-reference="first" page-position="first"/> <fo:conditional-page-master-reference master-reference="rest" page-position="rest"/> </fo:repeatable-page-master-alternatives> </fo:page-sequence-master> then the page-sequence element references the page-sequence-master, e.g. <fo:page-sequence master-reference="all"> <fo:static-content flow-name="firstHeader"> <fo:block>This will only appear on page 1</fo:block> </fo:static-content> <fo:flow> <!-- your table as usual --> </fo:flow> </fo:page-sequence> HTH!
