Hello all,

I currently create a xslt sheet which contains several
block-containers. Noob as i am, I was a bit surprised to see my
containers are overlapping and not showing up in some kind of "flow".
I don't want to make everything absolute, because sometimes i cannot
know how long the preceding block is.

What is the best practice for making a good design with FOP? Should I
base everything on tables? Or have I done something wrong which causes
my block-containers to overlap?

Normally, they shouldn't overlap, so they probably already have absolute positioning set somehow.

FOP doesn't consume .xslt, but .fo files, so you should try to run the XSLT transformation first to convert the XML into a FO file, then check the FO file to see what happens.
