I see from the compliance page that absolute positioning is implemented.
However in practice I have an FO file which uses absolute positioning and it
seems like it doesn't take effect at all.
I culled all the containing elements from my FO output just in case they
were to blame somehow, and the issue still occurred. Here's the block
(apologies in advance for the way this is going to break):
<fo:block margin-left="0pt" margin-right="0pt" id="SlideObj"
font-size="16.0px" unicode-bidi="embed" visibility="hidden">
<fo:external-graphic content-height="scale-to-fit"
content-width="scale-to-fit" scaling="uniform"
src="url(file:/C:/Users/Daniel/Desktop/testppt_files/slide0001_background.jpg)"
absolute-position="absolute" height="100.0%" width="100.0%" left="0.0%"
top="0.0%"/>
<fo:block margin-left="0pt" margin-right="0pt" color="black"
unicode-bidi="embed">
<fo:block margin-left="0pt" margin-right="0pt"
unicode-bidi="embed" text-align="left">
<fo:inline absolute-position="absolute" height="6.25%"
left="35.95%" top="54.25%" margin-left="0pt" margin-right="0pt">
<fo:inline color="white" font-size="88.0%"
font-family="'Trebuchet MS'" margin-left="0pt" margin-right="0pt">Line
1</fo:inline>
</fo:inline>
<fo:inline absolute-position="absolute" height="6.25%"
left="35.95%" top="60.5%" margin-left="0pt" margin-right="0pt">
<fo:inline color="white" font-size="88.0%"
font-family="'Trebuchet MS'" margin-left="0pt" margin-right="0pt">Line
2</fo:inline>
</fo:inline>
</fo:block>
<fo:block-container absolute-position="absolute" height="5.5%"
width="38.95%" left="35.95%" top="74.0%">
<fo:block margin-left="0pt" margin-right="0pt"
unicode-bidi="embed" text-align="left"/>
</fo:block-container>
</fo:block>
</fo:block>
As far as I can tell it should draw the image and then draw two lines of
text over the image.
However in practice, the text appears below the image, not to mention all on
one line. I'm guessing that this is because they're fo:inline as opposed to
fo:block. I can't easily change this to be fo:block because the output is
from another library and it's not going to be a trivial exercise to
determine which ones I can change and which ones I can't.
Any ideas as to what might be causing this?
