sub, superscript
Dear Sascha,
You said in a recent post that vertical-align="sub", ="super" was working
for you. It isn't working for me. You only posted the xsl without the fo:
could you please post the fo code that worked for you?
Thanks much,
Richard Bondi

ok, i just tried out something:
<xsl:if test='contains(dxl:font/@style,"subscript")'>
<xsl:attribute name="vertical-align">sub</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name="font-size"><xsl:value-of
select="number(substring-before(dxl:font/@size,'pt'))-4"/>pt</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:if>
<xsl:if test='contains(dxl:font/@style,"superscript")'>
<xsl:attribute name="vertical-align">super</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name="font-size"><xsl:value-of
select="number(substring-before(dxl:font/@size,'pt'))-4"/>pt</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:if>
and it seems to work.

You could change the source code and recompile FOP so that it doesn't
descend so low. That was my solution.

I wish! I believe I am screwed, I'm making line-height="160%" everywhere.
For example, decreasing the font size does NOT change the amount of the
descent: it seems to be calculated from the surrounding baseline.
If there's a feature list for the next version, I would make adding the
"length" or "percentage" attributes of vertical-align (7.29.22 of the
recommendation) a very high priority.

yes, you're right i believe. didn't notice that yet-
do you have a workaround then? something that does not descend into the next
line?

Thanks, Sasha.
Well, here's what I've discovered:
1) vertical-align isn't inherited, and
2) the only vertical-align attributes fop 2.0.4 supports are 'sub' and
'super', and
3) that's a problem because 'sub' descends so far down, only a line-height
of about 160% prevents it from crashing into the next line.
About the inheritance:
This will not subscript:
<fo:inline vertical-align="sub">
<fo:inline font-family="Symbol">α</fo:inline>
</fo:inline>
This will:
<fo:inline vertical-align="sub"
font-family="Symbol">α</fo:inline>
Thanks,

excuse me Richard-
perhaps this only works with fo:inline not with block!?
example:
<fo:inline color="green" font-family="sans-serif" font-size="8pt"
vertical-align="super">superscript</fo:inline>

Sure this is the fo code,
i added an attribute "vertical-align" , see?
so the result is
<fo:block vertcal-align="sub">Text</fo:block>
<fo:block vertcal-align="super">Text</fo:block>
and if you want the text to be smaller- add a font-size attribute with an
appropriate value!
Greetings,
Sascha
