RE: Indented leader under chapter titles

["Dennison, Cheri" <cherid@amazon.com>]

Howdy,

Just following up on this item to see if anyone has any thoughts. Much thanks!

 

I'm using:

* Saxon 6.5.5

* Xerces 2.8.0

* Apache FOP 0.95

 

In my PDF output, I’ve got chapter titles and headings that start at the left margin, and then the body text is indented relative to that.

 

I’d like to put a horizontal line underneath the chapter title in the PDF. So, I added a leader to the template that writes the chapter title, like so:

 

<xsl:template match="title" mode="chapter.titlepage.recto.auto.mode">

<fo:block xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format"

            xsl:use-attribute-sets="chapter.titlepage.recto.style" font-size="28.8832pt"

            font-weight="bold">       

            <xsl:call-template name="component.title">

                        <xsl:with-param name="node" select="ancestor-or-self::chapter[1]"/>

            </xsl:call-template>     

            <fo:leader leader-pattern="rule" leader-length="100%"/>

            </fo:block> 

</xsl:template>

 

 

The leader shows up, but it’s indented the same amount the body text is indented, and I want it to NOT be indented (so it matches the chapter title). The leader is being treated like the flow on the page, which is indented by the amount of $body.start.indent. Is there a way to get the leader to be considered part of the chapter title instead, and thus NOT indented? Do I have to futz with the set.flow.properties template to get it to not indent any fo:leader block it finds? Or is there a simpler way?

 

Thanks for your help on this!
