Re: [docbook-apps] Header out of alignment - space before graphic

["Bob Stayton" <bobs@sagehill.net>]

Hi Paul,
Actually, it is the fo:block inside the cell that is applying the inherited 
font-size and line-height, probably from the header.content.properties 
attribute-set, which is applied to the fo:block that contains the header 
table.

In header.content, you should be able to use <xsl:attribute> elements as 
the first thing in each <xsl:when> clause to apply attributes to the 
fo:block containing that content.  Any xsl:attribute elements must come 
first when a block is started, before any content.

  <xsl:when test="$position ...">
    <xsl:attribute name="line-height">0pt</xsl:attribute>
    <xsl:attribute name="font-size">0pt</xsl:attribute>
    <fo:external-graphic ...
