BLOCK-CONTAINER basic porperties such as width, top, bottom, length are not taken into account. It just seems the BLOCK-CONTAINER tag is interpreted like the BLOCK tage. With the following code ... <fo:block-container absolute-position="absolute" top="15mm" left="100mm" width="70mm" height="5cm" font-size="12pt" font-family="sans-serif"> <fo:block> This is a sample text </fo:block> </fo:block-container> .... I always get a top-left aligned block whatever the values of width, bottom, height & left are. The block is always resized to the size of the inside text. Thanks in advance
OK my mistake ... I've just read bug #21640 and the bug is actually already known (cf. http://xml.apache.org/fop/compliance.html#fo-object-block-container ) *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 21640 ***
