Absolute positioning

[Ricardo Coutinho <rc...@odyssey-group.com>]

Hi all,

Firstly I want to apologise in advance for asking many questions. :) It has
been some time since I used fop and fo (I think the last version i used was
0.17..)

1. Is there another way to use absolute positioning without using the
fo:block-container tag. With the text I have I don't have any  width/height
variables available. It does work with the fo:block tag.
2. Is there a way to specify the orientation for each individual page.

Lastly I would appreciate any online references regarding fo
elements/attributes.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Ricardo:

Regarding references for FO elements and attributes.  I guess you have
already checked the W3C recommendation?  The pdf version has an easy
bookmark to a FO properties summary.  If you check the xml cover pages site
http://xml.coverpages.org/ there might be something else.  I know theres a
company selling quick references for xml,xsl, ecma script, etc. ($5 US each)
but I can't remember the URL.

Hi,

Try this site for online reference:

It has got some good documentation.
