>> I can understand the properties of a block about his position. >> I can have a relative, absolute, fixed ecc. position. >> Can I have an absolute position only inside another fo:block ? Absolute position is calculated with respect to the *containing block*. For instance, if your element is a direct child of a fo:flow | fo:static-content, then the position is calculated with respect to the correspondent region on the page, set by the region-body or any of the side regions. >> Is it possible to define the dimension of a block ? if ('define'=='set explicitly') { You cannot easily control the absolute dimensions of a generic fo:block. However, there are several objects that do have the possibility to specify their dimensions explicitly, namely: - fo:inline-graphic and fo:display-graphic; - fo:inline-included-container and fo:display-included-container. These four elements have 'height' and 'width' attributes. For any other element, you can control its absolute dimensions by placing it inside either of the included-containers. There are also more tricky techniques. } else if ('define'=='obtain the value of') { In principle, there exist a mechanism named "expressions" (XSL WD p.3.5) that could provide for this. But it is still very rudimentary in the current draft, and nothing definite can be said at the moment. } >> Can I have a text block with specified dimension and another block for >> example on the right of it with different dimensions ? It is possible but not simple. >> Can I have an fo:inline-block ? Probably fo:inline-included-container is what you mean. It enables you to put an entire rectangular area (filled with blocks or whatever other staff) to be placed as an inline element Rgds.Paul. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= paul@xxxxxxxxx www.renderx.com www.pault.com XMLTube * Perl/JavaConnector * PerlApplicationServer =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
