Yeah,
The height attribute works on an fo:table
but not on a block. Is that a bug ?

did you try to create a table with the specified
height ?

Hi,
Thanks for confirming that I am not going mad.
:)
Unfortunately the padding at the bottom will
not really achieve the result I am after. I want to allow the block to
grow with it's content but ensure that it is AT LEAST a certain
size.
It look like I will have to use a table with a
'hidden' block which uses the padding that you have specified. It's a
bit of a nasty fix.
Surely someone else must have come across this
before.

You're right !!
I've tried with the padding-bottom attribute,
and it does work, but it may not fit your needs...
just try this :
fo:block padding-bottom="15cm"
background-color="silver"
friendly,
Guillaume

Hi Guillaume
I have tried using just the height
attribute in the block e.g.
?xml version="1.0"?fo:root
xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format"fo:layout-master-setfo:simple-page-master
master-name="A4" page-height="29.7cm" page-width="21cm" margin-top="1cm"
margin-bottom="1cm" margin-left="2cm"
margin-right="2cm"fo:region-body
margin-top="1.5cm"
margin-bottom="2cm"/fo:region-before
extent="1.5cm"/fo:region-after
extent="2cm"//fo:simple-page-master/fo:layout-master-setfo:page-sequence
master-name="A4"
initial-page-number="1"fo:static-content
flow-name="xsl-region-before"/fo:static-contentfo:static-content
flow-name="xsl-region-after"/fo:static-contentfo:flow
flow-name="xsl-region-body"fo:blockBefore
Block/fo:blockfo:block height="15cm"
background-color="silver"This is the block
contents/fo:blockfo:blockAfter
Block/fo:blockfo:block
id="end-of-doc"//fo:flow/fo:page-sequence/fo:root
I would expect to see a pretty large middle block with a grey
background but this central block just fits around the enclosed
text. (See attached PDF file)
I am sure that I must be doing something obvoiusly wrong but I
can't see it.
p.s. I am using FOP 0.18.1
Any pointers will be very useful.
Thanks Andy

why don't you simply specify the 'height'
attribute ?

Hi
I am new to FOP and have hit a
stumbling block pretty quickly. I need to be able to set the
minimum heigh of a block in the docuement and from the documentation
though that this could be acheived using the following entries in
the FO file:
block min-height="2cm"Block
Contents/block
However I get the following warning
when I attempt to transform this into a PDF:
"WARNING: property 'min-height'
ignored"
What am I doing wrong here
?
Thanks
Andy
