ken riderSubject: FO:BLOCK-CONTAINER
Author: ken rider
Date: 31 Aug 2005 05:01 PM
I am writing a stylesheet to produce an FO for conversion to PDF.
I need to place some text in a particular place on a page (absolute position). The only method that I can find is FO:Block-container.
However, when I try to use the method in the code window it is not available. I have declared V2 of the XSL transform.

What else do I need to do to have the method available, or is there another way to achieve this with FO:Block?

Ken,

fo:block-conatiner is missing from the Stylys Studio language definiton most likle because Apache FOP doesn't support it.

http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/compliance.html#fo-object-block-container

You can edit the following file to add the definition for syntax coloring and auto-complete

"c:\Program Files\Stylus Studio 6 XML Enterprise Edition\bin\Plugins\Configuration Files\languages.xml"

The following should work with FOP

<fo:block-container position='absolute' top='0.01in' left='5in' height='3in' width='2.5in'>
<fo:block left="10 in" top="1 in">My Text</fo:block>
</fo:block-container>

Hoep this helps
