problem ?

[Koh Hong Kiat <hk...@800easypay.com>]

Hello all,

I have been working with <fo:simple-link>.

However I seem to be able to get the hyperlink (inside a PDF) working
only if it is within a <fo:block></fo:block>. If I were to add the
<fo:simple-link>
within a <fo:block-container></fo:block-container>, it no longer works.

Code samples
---------------
code below works fine.

<fo:block font-size="9pt" line-height="12pt" word-spacing="3cm"
text-align="start"
             space-before.optimum="13pt" start-indent="56.7pt">

<fo:simple-link>

<xsl:attribute name="color">#0000FF</xsl:attribute>

<xsl:attribute name="external-destination"><xsl:value-of
select="//URL"/></xsl:attribute>

<xsl:value-of select="NAME"/>

</fo:simple-link>

</fo:block>



code below does NOT work.
<fo:block-container height="1cm" width="3.2cm" top="3cm" left="0cm"
position="absolute">

<fo:block font-size="8pt" line-height="10pt" word-spacing="3cm"
text-align="center">

<fo:simple-link>

<xsl:attribute name="color">#0000FF</xsl:attribute>

<xsl:attribute name="external-destination"><xsl:value-of
select="//URL"/></xsl:attribute>

<xsl:value-of select="NAME"/>

</fo:simple-link>

</fo:block>

</fo:block-container>



Is this the way it is ? Or am I doing something incorrectly.

Thank you.

The spec indicates that to display a simple-link (now fo:basic-link, 
actually, we just haven't updated the name yet) it is enclosed in an fo:block.

Obviously enclosing the whole shebang in an fo:block-container should not 
affect that result. So this is a FOP problem.
