Having sorted out how to get text to appear at top and bottom within a box, my
next requirement that I've not been able to work out for myself is how to get
things side-by-side.
What I want is something like this :
+-------------------------------------+
|+------------+ +------------+|
||A | |B ||
|+------------+ +------------+|
| |
| |
|+------------+ +------------+|
||C | |D ||
|+------------+ +------------+|
+-------------------------------------+
In practice, following my previous question, I know how to get A and C to show
at the top and bottom of the bounding box (ie within any block-container). So
I am assuming I need to get another block-container within the bounding
container, to hold B and D.
I would assume I need to position (A and C)'s and (B and D)'s block-containers
relatively within the outer block-container.
However, I can't seem to make that work. I seem to be getting B positioned one
"line" (or block height) lower than A. Also the block-container of A has
height=0 despite the block of A having a sensible height.
Can anyone advise how to go about this ?
Is there any document available that gives a good overview explanation the
layout control available in FO ? I don't want to have to ask the list every
time I find another layout pattern that I haven't met before.
I'm setting coloured border properties on all of these which is how I'm drawing
conclusions about the areas things are taking.
Eventually B and D will be images rather than text. I'm assuming that once
I've got the blocks and containers working with text I'll be able to put the
appropriate image elements in.
Regards,
Richard.
