Re:  [XSL-FO] right alignment after leader dots (multip
Thanks Kevin, fair enough. 

Please find attached a screenshot of two rows in the table 
("message too big" made me put it on a server: [ http://gbormans.telenet.be/table-test.jpg | http://gbormans.telenet.be/table-test.jpg ] ) 

The 2006 and the 2011 should align right in the column 
The 2011 should move right to the second red line 
And the dots should end on the first red line 

I hope this makes more sense now 
The screenshot is the FOP rendering. AH Formatter does what I expected 

Met vriendelijke groeten, 
Best regards,

Not clear without screenshot at least. 

This is what you get from FOP:

All, 





In a table cell, I have (potentially) multiple lines of text, left aligned 


For the last line, I want to align a single word ( maximum 4 digits actually) to the right of the cell and fill the space between this word and the rest of the text with leader dots 


I also want this last line to expand outside the box given to the other lines 





The visual effect is that of a second table cell containing the digits (pushed to the bottom) 


and the first cell having leader dots on the last line, reaching out to the right border of the table cell 


(but I figured out that I can not make that happen in FO) 





The following works perfectly using Antenna House 





<fo:table-cell padding-bottom="5mm" keep-together.within-page="always" 


column-number="2"> 


<fo:block keep-together.within-page="always" 


text-align="left" 


end-indent="9mm" 


last-line-end-indent="-9mm" 


text-align-last="justify"> 


<fo:inline>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Suspendisse sodales tincidunt sapien. Orci varius natoque penatibus et magnis dis parturient montes, nascetur ridiculus mus. Phasellus quis auctor diam.</fo:inline><fo:inline 


keep-together.within-line="always"><fo:leader 


leader-length.maximum="1mm"/><fo:leader 


leader-pattern="dots" leader-length.optimum="100%" 


/></fo:inline><fo:inline keep-together.within-line="always" 


font-weight="bold"> 2006</fo:inline></fo:block> 


</fo:table-cell> 





The 2006 is nicely right aligned to the cell boundary 





In FOP however the digits are not right aligned 


The text-align-last="justify" is not using the full width of the cell 





Is Antenna House doing a much better job than it should, or is FOP having a bug? 


And are there suggestions or workarounds to make this work in FOP? 






If the question is not clear enough, I can attach screenshots and a full working FO (at least in AH formatter) ... but wanted to start without attachments to begin with 






Thanks for any help anyone can offer
