Re: How to avoid vertical space between blocks containing images
Hi Tobias, For further investigation, we need short XSL-FO and an image that demonstrates what you say. Possible reason: line-height trait not equal to zero. The line-height trait value is resolved in different way depending on how the corresponding property is set (see [1]: - when number is used, number is inherited - otherwise, the computed value is inherited. Here is a short example that explains the difference: fo:aaa font-size=10pt line-height=1.2 !-- line-height trait is 10pt * 1.2 = 12pt -- fo:bbb font-size=0pt !-- inherited line-height property is 1.2 -- !-- line-height trait is 0pt * 1.2 = 12pt -- /fo:bbb /fo:aaa fo:aaa font-size=10pt line-height=120% !-- line-height trait is 10pt * 120% = 12pt -- fo:bbb font-size=0pt !-- inherited line-height property is 12pt -- !-- line-height trait is 12pt -- /fo:bbb /fo:aaa You should verify if in your XSL-FO, line-height is not set with other than number.

Although the space is gone I still have a very thin border around the pictures. I realized this using a block with background-color and ebmbedded image. When I use zoom factor above 150% I can see it clearly in my PDFs. I guess this is no FOP issue because I get the same results in XEP. I already set any space-* and padding-* values to 0. Any ideas?
