Thanks! I misread the compliance list. I'll give those suggestions a shot.

Btw, I never got any suggestion from Glen. Just the two PSs as you show below.

Hi,

top is one of the relative position properties, when applied to the
fo:block (see [1] & [2]).
Currently, FOP doesn't implement such properties (see [2]).

I see 2 workaround alternatives:
As Glenn said, you should use absolute ones that come with fo:block-container:
<fo:block-container abolute-position="absolute" top="1in">
   <fo:block>...</fo:block>
</fo:block-container>

Or play with space-before property:
<fo:block
     space-before="-0.5em"
     space-before.conditionality="retain"
...</fo:block>

2013/8/28 Glenn Adams <gl...@skynav.com>:
P.S. In the future, don't bother sending the XSLT if your question is
related to formatting. Only the XSL-FO content is relevant.

P.S.S. Why do you use nested block containers for the first block?

I cannot seem to push a block down using 'top="n"' set to any value n > 0

I've even added an extra, enclosing (superfluous?) block-container inside
the table-cell. "left" and "right" are working just fine but "top" not so
much.

I thought this was a compliant piece of FOP.  Am I wrong about that or
just doing something stupid again. (Hey, I've been away awhile).

Thanks.

My xsl: this template is called as the table-cell is laid out.
