How do I align a fo:block vertically to the bottom of the page?

[Mike Kellstrand <mi...@rapix.com>]

I am constructing a cover page.
I have a header and a footer.
I have a couple blocks at the top of the page.

I would like to have 2 blocks of test that that "float" down to the
bottom of the page, sort of a vertical align bottom.

These 2 blocks can hold text of varying length, so I don't want
to fix them at a certain spot.  I want the block to locate at the bottom
and expand upward if neccessary.

I've seen a couple similar requests & answers in the archives,
but none of them actually worked (for me).

Any answers or ideas?

Thanks,  Mike

I'm not quite sure what you really want. Some hints:
- Use a footnote for the block you want to have at
  the page bottom
- Check whether display-align="bottom" can help you,
  in a frame similar to
   http://xml.apache.org/fop/fo.html#fo-center-vertical
