Subject: [xsl] Understanding Page Region Boundaries and Margins From: "W. Eliot Kimber" <eliot@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 24 Jan 2002 14:29:25 -0600 |
I'm trying to set up an "offset" page layout where most of the text is formatted indented 72 points in from the left page margin (creating an "offset column" 72pts wide) but some text (i.e., the chapter titles) starts at the page boundary. I've set the margin-left of the region-body for my page master to 72pt. This gives me an offset column. So far so good. For my chapter titles (seen earlier), I use list markup. To pull the big number into the offset column I just do -72 pt as the margin-left value on the list block and it works a treat. However, for another construct, I use a two-column table with the first column 72pts wide to create a side head. Unfortunately, if I set the margin-left value to -72 on the table, it is pulled 72 points left of the *page* margin, not the region margin. But if I set the margin-left value to "0", it starts at the region boundary (that is, 72pts right of the page boundary). Am I missing something about tables and regions or is this a possible bug in XML Formatter? I'm still not sure I fully understand how regions and margins work, so it's highly likely I'm just doing something wrong but my expectation was that if it worked for lists it should work the same way for tables.
