Alignment question

Title: Message



Hello,Im a trying to achieve 
something like 
this:--|This 
is price text in a normal 
paragraph$ 
250,00|| 
|| 
|
or
--|This 
is a very long price text which will force theprice to the next line 
but ||it should still be on the 
right.$ 
250,00|From this element 
structure:priceText descriptionThis is a price 
text in a normal paragraph/description price$ 
250,00/price/priceText

The trick is that I want to allow the 
description to be as long as necessary. The price should be appended to the 
description but aligned to the right of the block that the priceText element is 
used in. 

Does anyone know of anyway of doing this without 
tables?

Kind regards,

Ries Spruit

Thanks!

Ofcourse this is the function I need. I can't really get it to behave right 
though.

If I use this:

fo:blockA Pricefo:leader leader-pattern=dots / 250/fo:block

the result is this:

|A   |
|Price..$|
| 250|

The block is a child element of another block and then fo:flow. No alignment 
properties are set on the flow region or the block regions. Setting alignment 
to left or start does not make any difference.

Is there another special setting required or might it just be the 
implementation? I can imagine the algorithm for the leader length just 
calculating its length based on the last word on the left and the first word on 
the right instead of the endposition on the left and length of the text on the 
right.

Hi,

This could be done with fo:leader with space.
You can use the default lengths which will exapnd to fill the space.

I'm not sure if this is implemented properly yet.
