What's wrong with <fo:table-row height="22pt">?
Matts said he always wanted two lines ... if I only use the height of the
row as above, isn't that elastic and won't it grow if there are more than
two lines of data? I thought I needed the block container to ensure every
cell would always have two lines.
Firstly, I thought everything had been worked out so that the content
wouldn't exceed two lines.
Secondly, if there's more than two lines of data in the
block-container then, for print output, the overflow is either going
to be clipped or it's going to be rendered outside the block-container
(i.e., on top of the data in the next row), depending on the value of
the 'overflow' property. (It could also cause an error if
overflow='error-on-overflow'.)
Please let me know if I'm mistaken about the behaviour of table-row height=.
You're not, but it's a judgement call whether expanding, clipping, or
overflowing is to be preferred if the data exceeds two lines.
