Thanks for the help. It did lead me to the solution, although it turned out
the answer was really that I had to set the row height on the table.
I think there is no margin-top on region-after (couldn't see it in the spec
and didn't seem to make a difference). Anyway I made the region-body
margin-bottom the same as the region-after extent and changed the overflow
as you suggested. The problem remained and I looked again at the table
itself.
If I adjusted the length of the table I could get the bottom of it to meet
the top of the region-after, which suggested that the regions are just
fine. The problem was that this only happened on the final page. On the
earlier pages there was a gap. So the penny dropped at last for me, it was
really only happening when the table was sizing itself around the number of
rows it was rendering. This meant the real solution was to set the
table-row height attribute to some value that gave a whole number of rows
in the table height. Sure enough that worked fine.
Thanks for the help.

Subject:RE: region body separates from region after
Roger,
I remember having similar issues. I ended up using a margin-top (eg
=18.05cm) on the region-after as well as an extent, and
removing the table height completely which gives a table which expands to
fit the actual size on each page.
Also you are specifying overflow=hidden on all regions, which doesn't
sound like what you are after for the region-body at least.
Cheers,
Roland

Subject: region body separates from region after
I have a page master that looks like this:
fo:region-before region-name=heading extent=9.2cm
overflow=hidden/
fo:region-body region-name=body margin-top=8.85cm
margin-bottom=7.8cm overflow=hidden/
fo:region-after region-name=footer extent=7.7cm overflow=hidden/
Inside the region body is a table with a height attribute: eg
fo:table table-layout=fixed height=11.4cm
This allows the table to expand the whole height of the body. Well
almost.
It actually leaves a gap between the bottom of the table and the top of
the
footer. Any attempts to close the gap by fiddling with the margins,
extents
and heights cause an overflow (ie gaps on the next page where the table
or
footer is missing, depending on the change) or a overlap between the
bottom
of the table and the top of the header.
The table information spans several pages and (other than the above
problem) that works fine as well. On the last page however, when the
table
is not filled, I can get the gap to go away by changing the margin-bottom
on the region body. This means the last page looks different from the
others which, obviously, isn't good.
I'm using ApacheFOP 0.20.5. I tried the same file with Antenna (demo
version downloaded for this purpose) and it gave me only one page. It
looked as if the table overflow had not happened at all and the rest of
the
lines vanished behind the footer.
Anyone know what I should try?
Thanks
Roger
