Hi Daniel,
I see from the compliance page that absolute positioning is
implemented. However in practice I have an FO file which uses
absolute positioning and it seems like it doesn't take effect at all.
I culled all the containing elements from my FO output just in case
they were to blame somehow, and the issue still occurred. Here's the
block (apologies in advance for the way this is going to break):
<fo:block margin-left="0pt" margin-right="0pt" id="SlideObj"
font-size="16.0px" unicode-bidi="embed" visibility="hidden">
<fo:external-graphic content-height="scale-to-fit" content-
width="scale-to-fit" scaling="uniform" src="url(file:/C:/Users/
Daniel/Desktop/testppt_files/slide0001_background.jpg)" absolute-
position="absolute" height="100.0%" width="100.0%" left="0.0%"
top="0.0%"/>
Just a quick FYI:
don't expect the 'absolute-position' on fo:external-graphic and
fo:inline to have *any* effect at all. The Common Absolute Position
properties apply to neither of those FOs.
Just to add to what Andreas has told you: absolute-position does apply
to block-container. So you can absolutely position block containers but
not blocks, inlines or external-graphics. I also noticed that you are
using percentages for width/height/left/top. That may work. I personally
have only ever used absolutely positioned BC with units specified in mm.
Also, note the subtle difference in meaning between
absolute-position="absolute" and absolute-position="fixed". IIRC, the
"fixed" setting must be used to position the BC relative to the top left
of the page.
