Hi...
Thanks for the reply.
Would the list approach you suggest work if I want to have a title, then a
leader (....) then a page # in the list body?
Wondering if there isn't a simpler way to just specify a minimum width for an
inline area. Below is an example of what I want to output as a list of tables.
2-7 createTable Parameters ........................... 2-61
2-8 createView Parameters ............................ 2-62
2-9 createSynonym Parameters ......................... 2-63
2-10 createProc Parameters ............................ 2-64
2-11 createPackage Parameters.......................... 2-65
You can see that the table number at the left can have a varying width, but the area
needs to be fixed width so the table names are all left-aligned. FOP 1.1 seems to
ignore the width property for the <fo:inline> element.
Thx

Hi, all..
I'd like to specify a fixed width for an inline FO with FOP 1.1. It's in a List
of Tables in the front matter of a book. For each table in the list, table
number area should be fixed width followed by table title.
I tried this (simplified):
<fo:block start-indent="3.5em">
<fo:basic-link internal-destination="unique_id_24">
<fo:inline
inline-progression-dimension="6em">4-5</fo:inline>Summary of Commands
</fo:basic-link>
</fo:block>
I also tried using just the width property instead of
inline-progression-dimension.
Neither worked. Can someone help?
Thx

Hi, Steve-
I don't remember all the details but I did something like this when I needed
fixed horizontal widths in the footer of a document:
<fo:list-block
provisional-distance-between-starts="2.6in"
provisional-label-separation="0">
<fo:list-item>
<fo:list-item-label end-indent="label-end()"> <fo:block></fo:block>
</fo:list-item-label>
<fo:list-item-body start-indent="body-start()"> <fo:block></fo:block>
</fo:list-item-body>
</fo:list-item>
</fo:list-block>
Hope it helps.

Hi, Steve-
Sorry I took so long to respond. Have you looked at:
http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/examples.html
One of the examples included with FOP is leader.fo which "shows
different uses of fo:leader, p.e. as rule or in table of content(s)". I
haven't looked at the example and don't know if it works but, based on
the description, it seems to be along the lines of what you're looking
for. You may have to get creative to get exactly what you want.
Hope this helps.
