Jeremias, so you are in agreement with me that they are type (3) below -- not type (1). The spec is very clear on that. These FO's are *used to generate a area*, they don't *generate them* directly. Hence you are using the wrong equations to determine their values. They do *not* generate reference areas, unlike what you were basing your logic on in your previous email. > For for each page > they serve as FOs that generate reference areas. > Please use the official Rec terminology: "they are used to generate reference areas" (type 3).

But we are determining the value of these properties on fo:region-body and fo:simple-page-master, we are *not* resolving these properties on fo:block-container. Fo:block-container uses these properties after they are already calculated on fo:region-body and fo:s-p-m. You are jumping ahead here--the calculated values of these properties on fo:s-p-m and fo:region-body is what the point of your email was, and that is what I was responding to. Let's get these calculated values on fo:r-b and fo:s-p-m nailed down before we discuss their further usage within an fo:page-sequence. This section of the spec, 5.3.2, Jeremias, and your email I responded to, was just to determine the calculated values on these two FO's: fo:s-p-m and fo:r-b. This can be done, and their values would be the same, regardless of whether those values are subsequently activated within a page-sequence. >So in > this test case the block inside the b-c has an > effective start-indent of > 20pt (10pt + 10pt) much like in Luca's example. > > If you look at the checks at the end of > block-container3.xml you will > realize that there is no "20000" (millipoints) > anywhere.

We're talking about the resolved values directly on fo:s-p-m and fo:region-body. That's all I was responding to: your previous email. You are using the wrong equations to determine their calculated values, because you incorrectly assumed that those FO's (fo:s-p-m and fo:r-b) generate reference areas. > > > > Section 6.1 [1] says "There are three kinds of > > formatting objects: (1) those that generate areas, > (2) > > those that return areas, but do not generate them, > and > > (3) those that are used in the generation of > areas." > > > > fo:s-p-m and fo:region-body are type (3), not type > > (1). > > > > fo:s-p-m text: The fo:simple-page-master > formatting > > object generates no area directly.

You determined fo:s-p-m and fo:r-b to be type (1) FO's, and hence used the wrong equations in 5.3.2 to determine calculated values for them. They are type (3) FO's, and hence the first two equations can never be relevant for them. http://www.w3.org/TR/2001/REC-xsl-20011015/slice6.html#fo-section > > > > > > > So in your case you could specify > > > a margin="0pt" on > > > the region-body which triggers the first formula > > > given in 5.3.2. > > > > Again, I don't think so because fo:region-body > never > > generates a reference-area.

It is not > used to calculate the effective indent. They're the same thing for fo:s-p-m and fo:r-b, we just determined that they are corresponding properties. This formula set--the third--is the only one of the three in 5.3.2 that can be relevant for determining the calculated values on fo:s-p-m and fo:region-body, because neither of them generate reference areas. Hence, you are incorrect in using the first and second formulas in trying to determine the calculated values of these properties on these FO's. The first and second formulas require that the FO in question be a type 1 FO. > Corresponding properties should > not be used directly to do the actual calculations > that define the > layout.

We are discussing the calculated values of these properties on fo:s-p-m and fo:region-body. That's it. While you may be correct with the above, we need to get the foundation of your original argument--the calculated values of start-indent and end-indent on fo:r-b--correct before proceeding further. > > or zero for the margin properties on > fo:region-body. > > (i.e., we just rely on the 50pt. on > > simple-page-master.) > > > > So Luca is correct that both > fo:simple-page-masters > > should generate the same overall margins of 50 pt. > > each, no? > > No. :-) > Jeremias, in order to persuade me--and RenderX, apparently--on the calculated values on fo:s-p-m and fo:r-b, you will need to rewrite this email [1], keeping the logic as similar as you can, but without (1) saying that fo:s-p-m and fo:r-b generate reference areas or (2) hence ever choosing either of the first two sets of equations in order to determine calculated values on these two FO's. Then we can go on and have the above discussion. You may yet prove me wrong. But first you have to clear up these previous errors. (You do *not* need to resort to subsequent usage of these FO's in order to determine these calculated values on these two FO's, so please don't confuse the situation by doing so.) Just as I previously debated you after first clearing up where I was wrong--that margin-left and start-indent aren't CP's--I need you to first clear up your original email logically before we can proceed. [1] http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=fop-dev&m=110848008329419&w=2 In particular, these two sentences needs to be rewritten: 1: "Now, because start|end-indent are inherited, region-body also starts with a start-indent and end-indent of 50pt which together with the parent's start-indent accumulates 100pt because each of the FOs are generating a reference area." But *neither* generate a reference area--so please use different equations in 5.3.2 (i.e., the third set is your only option) to determine their values on these two FO's. 2: "So in your case you could specify a margin="0pt" on the region-body which triggers the first formula given in 5.3.2. If you don't specify margin the inherited value for start-indent is used." The first formula set (as well as the second) can *never* be triggered for fo:region-body because this FO never generates a reference area (or any area for that matter--it is a type 3 FO, not type 1.) You're back to the third formula set again. Sorry for the long post. Thanks, Glen
