RE: Vertical Centering
I also had the problem of display-align not working with the block container. I put the block of text inside a table and specified the display-align property on the table cell for vertical alignment.

Thats because you didnt specify height on table-row which is a requirement for display-align to work, and is described on the compliance page. Your example worked for me when I specified height on the table-row. snip/ Chris - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Centring, apparently.

Won't work for my application anyways - I need to specify spacing between individual lines. I realise this is far from ideal, but display-align is not fully implemented.

Is this a spec issue or a FOP issue? This is a FOP limitation. Based on this conversation, I have added (in CVS) more information to the xsl-fo and compliance pages to document this behavior.

The spec defines a property vertical-align which seems to control this, This property is for aligning stuff within a line. but using the property doesn't seem to work with FOP.

Is this a spec issue or a FOP issue? This is a FOP limitation. Also, the text turns out to be a little off center, which I am assuming is due to some default value of the line height or some other specific detail about the XSL-FO spec. Am I right, or is this a known FOP bug? This is probably a visual effect caused by (conformant) line height calculation.
