spaced headers?
I am trying to create a FO document that
will display text at the top of each page
text that is spaced out
For example
11/1/00 Title pg
1.
(start) (center)
(end)
Does anyone know what kind of tags I could use to
get this type of spacing?
I have tried placing a table in a static before region but
the problem with this requires specification of column
width and I will often change the size of the paper.
Are there any other tags that might accomplish this?
Thanks in advance,
Jason Russ

I have this working simply by adding whitespace to <xsl:text> within
static-content. It is not the best solution, but it works for now and is
repeatable.

I have implemented fo:leader with the leader-pattern=rule/space/dots
, not use-content. And it seems to work, but (actually it is BUT):
In my free time I am still hunting a bug which stops fo:leader from
being displayed at all if it is wrapped into a block which has no other
children.
I took a short-cut with the new properties: leader doesn't generate a
leaderArea but an inlineArea and treats the pattern as simple text.
This is obviously not the proper thing to do.
I can't promise anything, but I hope it won't take to long until it is
finished.

I hadn't seen anyone reply to this yet so I'll take a stab. I don't think
this is currently supported by FOP. I have tried to do something similar
using
<fo:inline text-align="start">11/1/00</fo:inline>
<fo:inline text-align="center">Title</fo:inline>
<fo:inline text-align="end">P9</fo:inline>
which didn't come close to working. A couple other things I tried were
using blocks with absolute positioning (not supported), and fo:leader
leader-pattern="space" (also not supported)
So these are all some areas FOP could use some work on.
