James, 

I think having user questions in this forum is fine for now; there are few
and it certainly helps developer's to focus where it is needed. As with
other similar project's, I suspect that most developers=users anyway.

AFAIK, display-graphic still doesn't work in FOP. I incorporated the work of
Stefano Bovone, et al in 0.12.0preX but I never got it working.

Which version of FOP are you using? I broken static-content in 0.11.0 but
fixed it in the 0.12.0 pre-releases at http://www.onelist.com/files/fop-dev
and the version on xml.apache.org

FOP user questions

[Alister Pillow <al...@n-space.com.au>]

Hi
I haven't seen a 'fop user' list, so I'll ask the source...

 1/
I'm using 'display-graphic'. My xml source has
<Figure href="fred.jpg"/>
ie a relative reference to a file. This works fine when I transform the
content to HTML, as the browser happily resolves the relative reference,
but I can't do the same with xsl and FOP.
This works:
<fo:display-graphic  href="file:c:/.../website/static/{@href}"/>
But the desired approach would be this:
<fo:display-graphic href="{@href}"/>

Is there another way of achieving this? Also, when an image is inserted,
it seems to mess up the page-flow.  It appears that the region-body size
doesn't take into account the image size.

2/
I can't get the 'region-before' area to work (or '-after'). Is this
because 'static-content' isn't working or is my stylesheet incorrect?
