The current FOP does not respond to the FO properties content-width and content-height, which is what the viewport attributes output in the FO file. If you are putting the images inside <figure> elements, you can adjust a named attribute-set that controls space above and below figures. You can do this in a customization layer. <xsl:attribute-set name="figure.properties"> <xsl:attribute name="space-before.minimum">1.5cm</xsl:attribute> <xsl:attribute name="space-before.optimum">2cm</xsl:attribute> <xsl:attribute name="space-before.maximum">3em</xsl:attribute> <xsl:attribute name="space-after.minimum">1.5cm</xsl:attribute> <xsl:attribute name="space-after.optimum">2cm</xsl:attribute> <xsl:attribute name="space-after.maximum">3cm</xsl:attribute> </xsl:attribute-set> If you aren't using figure (with titles), you could wrap your mediaobject in <informalfigure> and customize its template a bit: Change: <xsl:template match="informalfigure"> <xsl:call-template name="informal.object"/> </xsl:template> To: <xsl:template match="informalfigure"> <fo:block> <xsl:attribute name="space-before.minimum">1.5cm</xsl:attribute> <xsl:attribute name="space-before.optimum">2cm</xsl:attribute> <xsl:attribute name="space-before.maximum">3em</xsl:attribute> <xsl:attribute name="space-after.minimum">1.5cm</xsl:attribute> <xsl:attribute name="space-after.optimum">2cm</xsl:attribute> <xsl:attribute name="space-after.maximum">3cm</xsl:attribute> <xsl:call-template name="informal.object"/> </fo:block> </xsl:template> > > * I was also hoping for some pointers to change section title font color Another attribute-set handles section title properties: <xsl:attribute-set name="section.title.properties"> <xsl:attribute name="color">blue</xsl:attribute> </xsl:attribute-set> There are also attribute sets for each section title level. See this reference for more on attribute-sets: http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/AttributeSets.html > and a way to prevent section titles from appearing at the bottom of the page. FOP doesn't handle keep-with-next properly, so there is no general solution for this. Some people have resorted to inserting manual page break processing instructions before such sections when the document is finished. See: http://sources.redhat.com/ml/docbook-apps/2003-q2/msg00848.html Such manual page breaks must be removed or shifted when the document is edited. It's a tedious process, because each manual break will affect pagination downstream from it. -- Bob Stayton 400 Encinal Street Publications Architect Santa Cruz, CA 95060 Technical Publications voice: (831) 427-7796 The SCO Group fax: (831) 429-1887 email: bobs@sco.com
