Subject: Re: Is fo:block an area-container? From: Stephen Deach <sdeach@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 04 Oct 1999 11:28:00 -0700 |
fo:block is NOT an area-container. However, writing-mode is used by fo:block to determine all the progression directions and the orientation of start/end/before/after, but the value can't be changed on fo:block from that on the containing area-container. We are working on clarifying this in the next draft.
