Aha, I see what I need to change.
I take the posted example, move the “fo:block-container” to the fo:flow, wrap it in a fo:block, and it disappears. This is what I was doing (a container in a block) and it wasn’t working. As I (try to) read the spec it seems legal to do this. If I take out the wrapping fo:block it appears to work like a charm.
Here’s the edited FO code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> <fo:root xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format"> <fo:layout-master-set> <fo:simple-page-master master-name="simpleA4" page-height="11in" page-width="8.5in" margin-top="0in" margin-bottom="0in" margin-left="0in" margin-right="0in"> <fo:region-before extent="0in" /> <fo:region-body margin-top="0in" /> </fo:simple-page-master> </fo:layout-master-set> <fo:page-sequence master-reference="simpleA4"> <fo:flow flow-name="xsl-region-body"> <fo:block>Hello World!</fo:block> <fo:block>xsl-region-before</fo:block>
<fo:block> <!-- ADDED, remove to have the container appear -->
<fo:block-container left="2cm" top="1cm" width="5cm" height="1cm" background-color="lightgreen" position="absolute"> <fo:block>I love block-containers!</fo:block> </fo:block-container>
</fo:block> <!-- ADDED, remove to have the container appear -->
</fo:flow> </fo:page-sequence> </fo:root>
It’s NO BIG DEAL at all. I just wanted to check with folks after consulting the “compliance” page.
