Hi FOP experts,
,-, I'm trying to put an icon in the margin alongside some
/ paragraphs: you know the sort of thing; instruction books
| often have symbols next to paragraphs with warnings, for
* example. Like this grotty bit of ASCII art.
I've tried something like this:
<xsl:template match="warning">
<fo:block-container position="absolute" left="-3em">
<fo:block>
<fo:external-graphic .../>
</fo:block>
</fo:block-container>
<fo:block>
<xsl:apply-templates>
</fo:block>
</xsl:template>
So there are two issues: what is the right way to do this in FO, and
is that supported in the current FOP?
Should I be using position="absolute" or absolute-position="absolute"?
I'm a bit out-of-my-depth with that kind of detail in the FO spec.
Is my negative position to put it in the margin allowed?
The FOP web page says that block-container has "limited support", but
as far as I can see there is no decription of what the limitations are
(certainly nothing on the limitations page). Can someone explain?
Everything that I've tried so far has failed with the mysterious
message:
[ERROR]: org.apache.fop.layout.BlockArea
(This is with 0.20.2RC.)
If anyone has got something like this to work, please get in touch!
With many thanks in advance.
--Phil.
