Property inheritance (space-before)

[Jo...@BTFinancialgroup.com]

Hi there,

Sorry about the cross post, I just posted this to XSL-FO@yahoogroups.com, but thought as the difference is in two versions of FOP, someone here could help me understand my problem.

I'm quite new to using XSL-FO and have got a question about what is correct syntax for XSL-FO regarding property inheritance. I recently upgraded from FOP 0.17 to FOP 0.20.1.

I have some XSL that generates the following snippet:
   <fo:table-row space-before="12pt">
      <fo:table-cell>
        <fo:block>Some block text</fo:block>
      </fo:table-cell>
   </fo:table-row>

With FOP 0.17 this put a 12pt space between this row and the previous row, but with FOP 0.20.1 it doesn't.

>From what I can find in the spec 7.9.5 [1], the space-before inherits from it's parent. The spec also mentions that inheritable properties 5.1.4 [2] can be put in any formatting object and subsequent children will pick up the property.

However, space-before isn't a valid property for a table-row.

So, I'm assuming it is incorrect to put the space-before attribute in the table-row element? Can someone explain how the inheritance thing works then?

Again, sorry about the cross post.

Thanks a lot,
Joshua
