Subject: RE: [docbook-apps] Trouble with title pages
I just found a solution. <fo:block-container position="absolute" top="3cm" left="3cm" height="6cm" width="18cm"> works perfect but absolute-position="fixed" doesn't. It seems that the "absolute-position" attribute isn't supported by fop. The fop documentation says block-container is supported but with limitations. However, the limitations are not described in the limitations section. Anyway, I'm happy. Until next problem. :D Thanks, /Kenneth > -----Original Message----- > From: Bob Stayton [mailto:bobs@sco.com] > Sent: Wednesday, April 09, 2003 09:43 > To: Kenneth Johansson > Cc: David Cramer; DOCBOOK-APPS > Subject: Re: [docbook-apps] Trouble with title pages > > > According to this FOP page, block-container is partially supported. > Hard to say what that means in practice.
