 However, can you explain the result illustrated below? Although you don't indicate the many missing attribute values which may be impacting the processing, I've reduced your example to the following: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><!--test.fo-->
<root xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format"
font-family="Times" font-size="20pt"><layout-master-set>
<simple-page-master master-name="frame"
page-height="11in" page-width="8.5in"
margin-top=".6in" margin-bottom=".6in"
margin-left=".6in" margin-right=".6in">
<region-body region-name="frame-body"/>
</simple-page-master>
</layout-master-set><page-sequence master-reference="frame"> <flow flow-name="frame-body"> <block
break-before="odd-page"
>
<block
font-size="78pt">1</block>
<block
margin-left="78pt"
space-after.optimum="90pt"
font-weight="normal"
font-size="30pt">This is a title</block>
</block></flow></page-sequence></root> What I get (with XSL Formatter) is the 78pt number and the title text presented side-by-side on the same baseline. Really? With version 2.0 I don't see this behaviour. I expected the title text to be presented *below* the number (that is, the block for the title text would follow the number block in the block presentation direction). Yes, that is what I see on my screen. This isn't the presentation effect I need: I need the title text and number to have the same top alignment (e.g., <tr valign="top">). The initial value of relative-align= on <list-item> is "before" which is what you want, as that will align both the <list-item-label> (your chapter number) and the <list-item-body> on the "before" edge ... as you intuited, I think the <list-block> construct is very acceptable, as would a table I suppose. Just curious why this *almost* worked. I really would not have expected it to work as you witness, unless as I said your other attributes are somehow playing a trick on us. I just retrofit the above to conform to CR and the old XSL Formatter evaluation produces what you would expect, not what you report, so I really don't know what you witnessed. I hope this helps. ...................... Ken
