RE: Page background color
I finally achieved the layout I wanted. Thank you for your help. I just needed to know a bit more about how the regions work. (I use PDF as the output format, and use points as units rather than pixels as I did in the example.) -Original Message- From: J.Pietschmann [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 8. januar 2005 21:04 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Page background color Dennis Myrén wrote: > However, I started trying just to get the background color to be applied > across all regions, and I have not succeeded. > > Please tell me what I am doing wrong with this simple document. > Only the region-body region gets blue background color. Your region-before and -after have no extent, i.e. they get an extent of zero. You'll have to defione a region-start and -end as well. Which output format are you using? Measurements in px should not be used except for bitmapped output formats.

RE: Page background color
[ATT. Chris] Hi Chris and thank you very much for your efforts in helping me out. However, I started trying just to get the background color to be applied across all regions, and I have not succeeded. Please tell me what I am doing wrong with this simple document. Only the region-body region gets blue background color. http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format";> I hoped this area would be blue as well.

This is straigt forward to achieve. You will need to create two fo:simple-page-master objects, one with a region-before defined and the other without. Then create a fo:page-sequence-master which uses defines which simple-page-master is used based on page-position. The fo:page-sequence then references the page-sequence-master. E.g. then the page-sequence element references the page-sequence-master, e.g. This will only appear on page 1 HTH!

According to the XSL-FO specification the tag supports an attribute "background-color", so what I tried is the following: http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format";> Test But in the resulting PDF none gray area does appear. It would not help to use a tag , because the document's content may take several pages, so the containers height would be unknown. I also tried to place a gray block-container as , but then it is in the foreground and overwrites the pages' content. Could anybody please give me a hint how to solve my problem? Afaik background-color in regions is not supported yet :( See http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3329 -- Oleg Tkachenko Multiconn International Ltd, Israel
