That's a known issue: in a given page sequence, the ipd (width) of the first page is used for all of the other pages, whatever you specify for them. So if on subsequent pages the margin settings are different, only the left margin will be taken into account, and its value + the forced value of the content width will constrain the value of the right margin. That is because Fop uses the Knuth breaking algorithm to optimize the page breaks over a whole page sequence, and is currently unable to deal with differing page widths. There is ongoing work to fix that, but as the changes are quite important no result should be expected before some time. The only workaround is to ensure that you specify identical widths for all the pages of a page sequence. > Also, the layout itself seems a bit peculiar.

Not so sure here, but I guess that for region-before the actual page width is taken into account, unlike for region-body. Specifying identical widths should solve the problem.

Bug with region-body margins and page-seqeunces
I'm finding some really strange behavior dealing with page-sequence-masters, page-sequences, and the margins of the region body in FOP 0.92beta. If you have a page-sequence master that has an initial page that is unique, then has a repeated page choice (even and odd pages), then certain things start to happen. I'm not even sure I can fully explain what all the wierdness is. So, the situation looks something like this in FO: First, you can't control margin-right on one of the pages after the first unique one (in this case, none of the pagest except "chapter-start-pg"). You can control margin-left, but that just causes the region body to shift to the right, sliding content off the right side of the page. However, if you change the margin-right on the unique first page (chapter-start-pg), then it works... excpet that it changes it for all of the pages in that page sequence. If you change margin-left on the unique first page, then margin-RIGHT gets applied to the subsequent pages. Also, the layout itself seems a bit peculiar. The left-hand edge of the heading (in a region-begin) on the subsequent pages is lined up with the text, but it isn't aligned with the right side of the text. For some reason, the region-begin seems to hang over the edge of the region body. Which is how I found the margin-right wierdness; I was trying to adjust the margin-right so that they would match up. Obviously, it didn't work. Is this some known screwyness with FOP? Or is this something recent? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Bug-with-region-body-margins-and-page-seqeunces-tf2414895.html#a6731370 Sent from the FOP - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
