Re: Margins and writing mode
Just to flag that I have a patch for this. However, it depends on the big "revised percentage handling" patch. So I'll hang on to it for the time being.

Re: Margins and writing mode
margin-left always stays on the left side. The FO spec makes a clear distinction between absolute (left, top, right, bottom) and relative (start, end, before, after) properties. lr: left=start, right=end rl: left=end, right=start So you obviously hit a bug. We haven't paid so much attention to the different writing modes, yet, especially since we don't support any of the other writing modes. For me personally, the main reason is the lack of knowledge about non-latin languages.

Margins and writing mode
If I set the writing mode on a page master to "rl" (arabic/hebrew) and than define margin-left and right on the region body where are these margins suppose to appear on the output device, i.e. would margin-left still be on the left side of the paper and margin-right on the right side? A sample fo is further below. My problem is that on the generated PDF the margin-left is on the right and vice versa. And I am not sure if that is correct. Manuel http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format"; xmlns:svg="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg";> r e g i o n b e f o r e r e g i o n a f t e r r e g i o n s t a r t r e g i o n e n d Demonstrates an 18pt margin on the page master. The page size is 5in x 3in. On the region body we have: margin-top="18pt" margin-bottom="12pt" margin-left="15pt" margin-right="36pt".
