Hello
I need a table with cells of equal sizes. It is important, that if the
text is
too big for a cell, that the text gets cropped, so the cell ddoesn't grow.
For
this I've introduced block-containers, for which I define a height plus
set
overflow=hidden. I also define a margin, as I want to have a certain space
between the edge of the cell and the content(text). This system nearly
works,
except that on the left and on the right side of the block-container there
is a
space outside the block container plus the same amount of space on the
inside of
the block-container, while on top and bottom there is just space outside
of the
block-container (as I had wished). In short: margins on the left and right
side
get duplicated (see diagrams below).
I admit that I have a very limited understanding of the
border/margin/space
properties in general, but I have tried out so many things now, and have
tried
to find reference, and nothing seems to work. I appreciate help, even if
you
just point me to a good reference.
---------------DIAGRAMS--------------------------------------
diagramm: outer border = edge of table-cell, inner border = border of
block-container/block
My goal:(space between border and text on side and top should be equal

What I get: (space around blockcontainer gets repeated on the inside-left
and
inside-right)

Hi, Paul
Just as a work-around, you can specify all four margins and divide the left
and right margins by 2, thus:
<fo:block-container overflow="hidden" height="{$Papierhoehe} div 4"
margin-top="{$card-margin}" margin-bottom="{$card-margin}"
margin-left="{$card-margin div 2}" margin-right="{$card-margin div 2}">
