Has this been fixed or is it slated to be fixed in the re-write?  

Thanks,

 I've tried this before. But then I had the effect, that sometimes the
 footnote disappears when there were not enough space on the bottom of the
 page.

 Is there any posibility to get the position of the table end and
 to insert a
 page break if there isn't enough space left?


Don't think so... You could force a page-break after the table, or add one
conditionally during the XSL transform, but as soon as it's FO, you would
probably need a hack (maybe a real ugly one, I'm not sure.)

Cheers,

Andreas

Dealing with footnotes is ugly. The code in the maintenance branch
is basically a bunch of hacks. The support in the rewrite is
currently even more rudimentary.

Problems with absolute positiones block container

2003-12-08 Thread Bargel, Britta
Hello,

Following problem:

I have a table and under this table a block container with absolute
positioning.
When the table get so long that there isn't enough space for the content of
the 
block container it doesn't make a page break before the block container but
it 
writes the content over the last table rows.

Is there any idea how to avoid this?

Thank you

Britta

block-containers when absolutely positioned are not considered when the 
flow is laid out. This effect is desirable in certain scenarios.

One way to achieve what you want is to use fo:footnotes instead. They 
will always be positioned at the bottom of the page on which they occur 
and the space allowed for the flow (your table in this case) is reduced 
according to the size of the footnotes.
