Hi,
I have a problem of with block-container, with position="absolute".
I have tried the following code with XEP and FOP, which don't produce the
same result.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<fo:root xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format">
<fo:layout-master-set>
<fo:simple-page-master
margin-right="2.499cm"
margin-left="1.101cm"
margin-bottom="4.001cm"
margin-top="0.64cm"
page-width="21cm"
page-height="29.7cm"
master-name="first">
<fo:region-before extent="29.7cm - 0.64cm - 4.001cm"/>
<fo:region-body margin-top="12.3cm" margin-bottom="3.101cm" />
<fo:region-after extent="3cm"/>
</fo:simple-page-master>
</fo:layout-master-set>
<fo:page-sequence master-reference="first">
<fo:static-content flow-name="xsl-region-before">
<fo:block-container
height="25.5cm" width="17.576cm" top="0cm" left="0cm"
position="absolute"
border-color="red" border-width="0.011cm" border-style="solid"
>
<fo:block font-family="sans-serif"
font-size="8pt" >foo</fo:block>
</fo:block-container>
</fo:static-content>
<fo:flow flow-name="xsl-region-body">
<fo:block font-family="sans-serif" font-size="8pt" >bla bla</fo:block>
</fo:flow>
</fo:page-sequence>
</fo:root>
Both XEP and FOP draw the red rectangle.
With XEP its left and top edges are placed on the left and top edges of the
paper sheet (page viewport area), while with FOP they are placed on the
left and top edges of the page reference area (ie the page minus the page
margins).
I think the result produced by FOP is correct with respect to the XSL-FO
Recommandation, but I am not sure, and I would be pleased if somebody could
give his opinion.
