Hi,
tables are good for data grids, but you can use alternate solution in
many cases.
Example 1: Border can apply to many FOs, so you don't need to use table here.
Example 2: title starting with graphic symbol:
table solution needs a complete table structure:
fo:table/fo:table-body/fo:table-row, plus 2 table-cell (witch consumes
time and memory)
Alternative: only 2 fo:block-container:
<fo:block-container keep-with-next="always" space-after="-{$my_inner_height}">
<!-- graphic block -->
</fo:block-container>
<fo:block-container start-indent="{$my_width_allocated_to_graphic_symbol}">
<fo:block start-indent="0">My title</fo:block>
</fo:block-container>
Note that such solution need to understand how indent inheritance is
done in XSL-FO (see [1]).
