Re: [docbook-apps] space-before.optimum in fo:block not working with current FOP repository version (FOP trunk)

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

Hi Darya,
Actually, fop 0.92beta is behaving correctly.  A table cell starts a new 
reference area, so the space-before of the first block is discarded in the 
same manner as the first block at the top of a new page.  To force the 
space, add a space-before.conditionality="retain" attribute to the first 
fo:block in the cell.
