I've tried (I think) what you suggested, that is to control the border an
background colour from the page's region-body.
<snip />
This gives me a nice grey background, but it doesn't enclose it
in a border.
Have you any idea why?
Yup, you're right about the general idea, but IIC, borders are yet
unimplemented for the regions (in FOP that is).
I've tried the following:
<fo:region-body margin-top="2.53968253968254cm"
margin-left="2.87393298059965cm" margin-right="3.02393298059965cm"
margin-bottom="2.53968253968254cm" background-color="rgb(226, 226, 226)"
border-color="rgb(0, 0, 0)" border-style="solid" border-width="1pt" />
So what I actually meant by 'leave the borders where they are' was to leave
them on the block-container in the static content...
Also, I would like to be able to control where the borders start (ie not
merely around the margins of the page) eg if the left margin is 3cms from
the left edge of the page, I might want the border and background to start
1cm from the left edge of the page.
... that way this should pose no real problem. You can do the same BTW for
the region-start and region-end to have the background 'extend' beyond the
region-body's boundaries (--and have static-contents in them to add a twist
to the borders)
Is there an easy way to achieve this.
Well, depends on what you call easy, not? ;)
Have fun!
Cheers,
Andreas
