As a consequence of the recent discussion on the correct bpd for inline areas I was looking at actually implementing it. Part of that is correct vertical positioning, i.e. baseline alignments, of those areas.
Am I correct in saying that the vertical-align property which is a shorthand for a combination of baseline related properties is not currently implemented as shorthand, that is the property system doesn't do the mapping to the corresponding properties (alignment-baseline, alignment-adjust, baseline-shift and dominant-baseline)? Also those 4 properties, while set on the various fo's, don't seem to have getters so are not available to the layout system. So, the first step in moving away from vertical-align and to the four corresponding properties is to fix the property subsystem and the fo definitions. Finn, the property system already has a notion of corresponding properties, etc.. I haven't looked into it in any detail but can that be used for the mapping of vertical-align or do we need some custom mechanism in this case? Manuel
