Not clear without screenshot at least.

This is what you get from FOP:

Subject: [xsl] [XSL-FO] right alignment after leader dots (multiple lines)



All,



In a table cell, I have (potentially) multiple lines of text, left aligned

For the last line, I want to align a single word ( maximum 4 digits actually)
to the right of the cell and fill the space between this word and the rest of
the text with leader dots

I also want this last line to expand outside the box given to the other lines



The visual effect is that of a second table cell containing the digits (pushed
to the bottom)

and the first cell having leader dots on the last line, reaching out to the
right border of the table cell

(but I figured out that I can not make that happen in FO)



The following works perfectly using Antenna House



                        <fo:table-cell padding-bottom="5mm"
keep-together.within-page="always"

                            column-number="2">

                            <fo:block keep-together.within-page="always"

                                text-align="left"

                                end-indent="9mm"

                                last-line-end-indent="-9mm"

                                text-align-last="justify">

                                <fo:inline>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet,

Phasellus quis auctor diam.</fo:inline><fo:inline

                                    keep-together.within-line="always"><fo:le
ader

                                        leader-length.maximum="1mm"/><fo:lead
er

                                        leader-pattern="dots"
leader-length.optimum="100%"

                                    /></fo:inline><fo:inline
keep-together.within-line="always"

                                    font-weight="bold">
2006</fo:inline></fo:block>

                        </fo:table-cell>



The 2006 is nicely right aligned to the cell boundary



In FOP however the digits are not right aligned

The  text-align-last="justify" is not using the full width of the cell



Is Antenna House doing a much better job than it should, or is FOP having a
bug?

And are there suggestions or workarounds to make this work in FOP?





If the question is not clear enough, I can attach screenshots and a full
working FO (at least in AH formatter) ... but wanted to start without
attachments to begin with





Thanks for any help anyone can offer



Met vriendelijke groeten,
Best regards,
