Thanks for your answer. It's sad to hear that an empty page at the end of the document is unavoidable (when tables are used at the end). Would it be possible to get a similar outlook with blocks (instead of tables)? As far as I know they cannot be put beside each other, but I might have missed something. So, can I put two blocks beside each other? Or would it be possible to use tabulators inside a block? (In order to get a table-like outlook without explicitly using tables.)
*** My other question refers to the start-indent feature. The following FO document is supposed to have an outdented block in the footer, but it does not function. At http://www.xmlmind.com/foconverter/conformance.html I read that start-indent is supported by xmlmind (except percentages). By the standard: "If this property has a negative value, it indicates an outdent.

Notice the use height="3em" on a row and display-align="center" on some cells to get the kind of layout you seem to want. Notice the id="last-page" found inside the table and not in a separate empty fo:block. However if a empty paragraph is added after the table, then I'm sorry but there is no way to meet all your expectations. --- <fo:table margin-top="12mm" keep-together.within-page="always"> <fo:table-column column-width="65mm"/> <fo:table-column column-width="65mm"/> <fo:table-body> <fo:table-row> <fo:table-cell number-columns-spanned="2"> <fo:block>The Simpsons Co.</fo:block> </fo:table-cell> </fo:table-row> <fo:table-row height="3em"> <fo:table-cell display-align="center"> <fo:block id="last-page">Bartholomeo</fo:block> </fo:table-cell> <fo:table-cell display-align="center"> <fo:block>Lisa</fo:block> </fo:table-cell> </fo:table-row> </fo:table-body> </fo:table> --- On 06/07/2013 04:26 PM, Dezsoe Gaal 'EXTERN' wrote: > > we are using XMLMIND XFC to produce Word documents from FO and I have a > problem of implementing signatures that should look like this: > > > > > My expectations would be: > - no page-break between "Regards" and "Lisa Simpsons", > - no empty paragraph after "Lisa Simpsons", > - "Lisa Simpsons" should be justified (start at a given position, e.g. > 10 cm from the margin). > > I tried to use *table*s, but > - at the end of the table there is always an empty paragraph (that might > result in an empty page at the end of the document), > - *keep-together* feature does not function for elements which do not > directly stem from the flow. > > I checked other possibilities to solve this problem with *list-blocks*, > but it incurs similar problem (elements which do not directly stem from > the flow cannot be kept together). > > Unfortunately *span *feature is also not implemented, so using a > mult-column layout and spanning all paragraphs except the last one (with > the signature) is not doable either. > > Even though /keep-together.within-page="always" /feature is provided to > the table, this FO does not produce the desired result (has a page break > between the table and its margin): > > <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> > <fo:root > xmlns:sdt="http://www.xmlmind.com/foconverter/xsl/extensions/docx/sdt"; > xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format"; > xmlns:fox="http://xml.apache.org/fop/extensions"; > xmlns:java="http://xml.apache.org/xalan/java"; > xmlns:ibex="http://www.xmlpdf.com/2003/ibex/Format"; font="11pt > "arial""> > <fo:layout-master-set> > <fo:simple-page-master master-name="A4-first" page-width="210mm" > page-height="297mm"> > <fo:region-body margin-bottom="40mm" margin-left="20mm" > margin-right="20mm" margin-top="96mm"/> > </fo:simple-page-master> > <fo:page-sequence-master master-name="basic"> > <fo:repeatable-page-master-alternatives> > <fo:conditional-page-master-reference master-reference="A4-first" > page-position="any"/> > </fo:repeatable-page-master-alternatives> > </fo:page-sequence-master> > </fo:layout-master-set> > > <fo:page-sequence master-reference="basic"> > <fo:flow flow-name="xsl-region-body"> > <fo:block>Bla</fo:block> > <fo:block>Bla</fo:block> > <fo:block>Bla</fo:block> > <fo:block>Bla</fo:block> > <fo:block>Bla</fo:block> > <fo:block>Bla</fo:block> > <fo:block>Bla</fo:block> > <fo:block>Bla</fo:block> > <fo:block>Bla</fo:block> > <fo:block>Bla</fo:block> > <fo:block>Bla</fo:block> > <fo:block>Bla</fo:block> > <fo:block>Bla</fo:block> > <fo:block>Bla</fo:block> > <fo:block>Bla</fo:block> > <fo:block>Bla</fo:block> > <fo:block>Bla</fo:block> > <fo:block>Bla</fo:block> > <fo:block>Bla</fo:block> > <fo:block>Bla</fo:block> > <fo:block>Bla</fo:block> > <fo:block>Bla</fo:block> > <fo:block>Bla</fo:block> > <fo:block>Bla</fo:block> > <fo:block>Bla</fo:block> > <fo:block>Bla</fo:block> > <fo:block>Bla</fo:block> > <fo:block>Bla</fo:block> > <fo:block>Bla</fo:block> > <fo:block>Bla</fo:block> > > <fo:block space-before="12mm" keep-with-next.within-page="always">Bart > Co.</fo:block> > <fo:table margin-top="22pt" keep-with-next.within-page="always" > keep-together.within-page="always"> > <fo:table-column column-width="65mm"/> > <fo:table-column column-width="65mm"/> > <fo:table-body> > <fo:table-row keep-with-previous.within-page="always"> > <fo:table-cell> > <fo:block>Bartholomeo</fo:block> > </fo:table-cell> > <fo:table-cell> > <fo:block>Lisa</fo:block> > </fo:table-cell> > </fo:table-row> > </fo:table-body> > </fo:table> > > <fo:block id="last-page" keep-with-previous.within-page="always" > line-height="0"/> > </fo:flow> > </fo:page-sequence> > </fo:root> > > I would highly appreciate it if you could suggest me a solution for the > above-mentioned problem that can be implemented by XMLMIND XFC. > Thanks in advance. >
