Something like \hbox?
Hi all! Consider a block-container, parent of several other block-container elements. Now what I want is a way to fill that parent container in horizontal order with child block-containers (in TeX I would use '\hbox' for this...). Is something like this possible in XSL-FO, and if yes is it implemented in FOP? Greetings, Andreas - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Something like \hbox?
Thanks for your replies, guys! To summarize, my options for an FOP \hbox are: -wait until floats are implemented -use table design -use the 'reference-orientation' attribute. -or alternatively, implement a horizontal box stacking algorithm in XSLT utilizing XSL-FO absolute positioning. I think I will go for the reference-orientation option, it sounds like the one most likely to work... Thanks!

I think you can use fo:block with children that are inline elements, e.g. fo:inline or fo:inline-container. The stacking direction is not determined by the containing element, but by the type of the element itself, whether it returns an inline or a block area.
