That did the trick. Thanks Vincent!

Hi David,
Try putting your code inside an absolutely positioned block-container
whose width overflows the page height, and whose ‘left’ position is
−(margin-bottom of page master). The fact that it’s absolutely
positioned will avoid those warnings. Then you can set the length of the
fo:leader to 100% and it will automatically extend to the width of the
block-container.
HTH,

Hi there,
I've added a fo:leader in the static-content of region-start of my document.
The region-start is rotated 90 degrees. The fo: leader contains text
appropriate to the type of document (e.g. "DRAFT - CONFIDENTIAL"). I want the
text repeated for the entire length of the (8.5"x11") page all the way up to
the edge. I can achieve this effect with the following in my static content:
<fo:block padding-before=".45in" font-size="1.5em" color="gray"
font-weight="bold">
<fo:leader leader-pattern="use-content" leader-length="15in"
letter-spacing=".1em"><xsl:text> </xsl:text><xsl:value-of
select="$status.text"/><xsl:text> </xsl:text></fo:leader>
</fo:block>
The result looks like this and is just what I want:
http://www.thingbag.net/docbook/test.pdf
Note that I have to make the leader-length longer than the page or the text
stops well before the top edge (i.e. fop realizes it can't fit in another
instance of the text "DRAFT - CONFIDENTIAL -" so it stops repeating; that's
why I have to make the leader longer than the page).
The problem is that the leader causes fop complain repeatedly as follows:
Mar 14, 2011 9:38:30 AM org.apache.fop.events.LoggingEventListener processEvent
WARNING: Line 1 of a paragraph overflows the available area by more than 50
points. (See position 973:2134)
I assume this is due to the fact that my leader runs beyond the edge of the
page. Is there a way to do what I want to do without getting all these
WARNINGs from FOP?
Thanks,
David
