Hi all
I am reproducing a rather complicated layout which requires a number of
nested tables:
Basically the page looks something like this (a header with 2 columns,
followed by a table with 4 columns, 2 columns spanning 2 rows, and one
cell spanning 2 columns):
------------------------------------------
headerleft headerright
------------------------------------------
*------* *---* *-------------* *------*
| | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | |
| | *---* *-------------* | |
| | | |
| | *--------------------* | |
| | | | | |
*------* *--------------------* *------*
The problem is that the column for headerright is proving impossible to
align. I have tried separating the header and content sections into 2
tables, plus making the header a single cell spanning the 4 cells (the
columns in the main section) and then using a nested table inside the
header as well. But what I always end up with is:
-------------------------------------------------------
headerleft headerright
-------------------------------------------------------
*------* *---* *-------------* *------*
| | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | |
(where header right actually goes off the page boundaries. It seems
that the first cell in the nested table grows to fill the size of the
surrounding table, then the second cell added pushes off outside that
region.
I hope that makes sense? Anyway below is the fo-xml for the header
region at the moment. I've been playing different methods of doing this
for the last day or so, with no progress (as a matter of interest I ran
it through an eval copy of a commercial app and, while not perfect, it
renders more how I was expecting). Is this a known bug -- or have I
done something stupid?
Thanks once again
Jason
