Subject: Producing a text label next to TextArea using XSL:FO problem From: "Dimitris Dracopoulos" <dimitris.dracopoulos@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 14 Jun 2004 18:13:58 +0100 |
Hi, I am trying to output the following using XSL:FO. _______________ label: | A | |______________| _______________ label2 | B | |______________| The use of absolute positioning is not acceptable, as I have a number of rows of such components, so when the text of area A spans multiple lines it would fall on area B, etc. Therefore relative positioning is desirable. In addition, areas A and B should be able to expand vertically only and they should have a fixed width. Therefore <fo:inline> components cannot be used for areas A, B because text will overflow the fixed width of a <fo:inline> outside the rectangle. The following produces a similar result but the area B is positioned not next to label2, but in the following line because of the newline inserted by the <fo:block >: <xsl:template> <fo:block-container max-width="10cm"> <fo:block space-before="0.2cm" space-before.conditionality="retain" font-size="11pt" width="10cm"> <fo:inline width="5.67cm"> <xsl:value-of select=".//label"/> </fo:inline> </fo:block> <fo:block border-style="solid" border-width="thin" margin-left="5.7cm" space-before="-2.2cm" space-before.conditionality="retain"> <xsl:value-of select=".//answer"/> </fo:block> </fo:block-container> </xsl:template> The above produces: label: _______________ | A | |______________| Is there a way of achieving the exact desirable output? Cheers Dimitris
