Hi Glenn
Thanks very much for that.
So the following should right align in the table cell?
<table-cell xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format";>
<block-container writing-mode="rl-tb">
<block>
<inline>المدينة</inline>
</block>
</block-container>
<table-cell>
But that didn't work in FOP 1.1 nor with
http://ci.apache.org/projects/xmlgraphics/fop/snapshots/fop-20140319.jar
(Refer May 2011 thread "Complex Script, BIDI text supported?")
cheers .. Jason
