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

["Colin Shapiro" <cmshapiro@gmail.com>]

Ah, I forgot that there's another fo:block above what you put in header.content:

            <fo:block>
              <xsl:call-template name="header.content">
                <xsl:with-param name="pageclass" select="$pageclass"/>
                <xsl:with-param name="sequence" select="$sequence"/>
                <xsl:with-param name="position" select="'left'"/>
                <xsl:with-param name="gentext-key" select="$gentext-key"/>
              </xsl:call-template>
            </fo:block>

You can disregard my previous reply, then.  Bob's solution is better :)

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 ...
