Hi Vincent, I'll try the start-indent solution.
As for the block and the break, we were discussing that in earlier threads (around February). I have a layout with text and table in the right column and images in the left column. If the right column breaks to a new page (or pages), the images should be reprinted on that page, too. My solution: I generate the the table with only one set of images and read the area tree. From the area tree I read how many pages the table takes and how much unused space I have in the left column (especially on the first page). Then I add a blank block of the gathered height in the left column, then a copy of the images with a break-before, then another blank block of (pageheight-imagesheight), another set of images and so on until the table is complete. The images always start on a new page und the blank block prevents the data in the right column from breaking too soon.

The start-indent property may do the job for you. Assuming the table must be 200pt wide: - if the table must be left-aligned: nothing to do; - if it must be centred: start-indent="50% - 100pt" - if it must be right-aligned: start-indent="100% - 200pt" Be sure to reset start-indent to 0, on the table-body for example. Otherwise it will be propagated to the children elements. You may want to explain in more details what it is exactly that you want to achieve with your break-before and 76.144pt high block in the second row. We may be able to come up with alternative solutions. <snip/> HTH, Vincent --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
