Hi,
Still having problems with backgrounds in block-containers.
The following works as I would expect it to, placing the border on the
region-body's left and top margins and at the require width and height:
<fo:flow flow-name="xsl-region-body">
<fo:block-container position="absolute" left="0cm" top="0cm" width="19cm"
height="27cm" background-color="rgb(192, 192, 192)" border-color="rgb(0, 0,
0)" border-style="solid" border-width="1pt">
<fo:block>  </fo:block>
</fo:block-container>
However, if instead of width and height I specify right and bottom
coordinates of 0cms, I thought that, in accordanc with the spec I would get
a borders that would correspond precisely with all of the region-body's
margins (Eg the spec says of the right property: "This property specifies
how far a box's right margin edge is offset to the left of the right edge of
the box's containing block").
Instead I get a miniscule block in the top left corner.
Can anyone please tell me why? How do I draw a block-container with
reference to the bottom and right margins?
Unfortunately, it is impracticable for me to use width and height settings
because the page-sequence may contain repeating-alternatives for first, odd
and even pages, any of which can have different margin settings.
TIA for any help.
Regards,
Mark Williams

Thanks everyone.
I now have a better idea of what to do and will have a fiddle.

The specification says there are no borders on regions.
Thanks for pointing this, I almost thought it was a FOP-deficiency :)
Cheers,
Andreas
