Re: [docbook-apps] [SPAM] Background Color declared in DocBook XML not visible in PDF

[bobs@sagehill.net]

This is most likely a FOP problem. 
 
When I test your example with XEP, I see no background color (at least with 
an opaque image).  That because the width and content-width properties are 
set to auto when those attributes are not in the source.  This means the 
image and its viewport are the same size, and the image will cover the 
entire viewport and no background color is visible.

But FOP 0.20.5 doesn't support content-width properties, so you won't see 
the effect anyway.

Is your image transparent?

You'll probably have better luck 
putting the background color on the table entry rather than the imagedata. 
The processing instruction attribute for table cells is bgcolor instead of 
background-color.
