Table position
Hi,
We are creating an XSL stylesheet.
We need a two-column page. This works perfect.
But now we must add tables with a fixed position and table width = complete page.
Could you help me ?
Thanks!
Greetings,
Dineke van den Bos

OK, this is my fault. The code for looking at the "span" property on
fo:block is currently in Flow, and assumes that the blocks are not nested
like this. This is mostly due to my mindset of how XML is translated into FO
- I think of nesting that describes "body" and "section" being present in
the XML source, but when the XSLT transforms to FO, then that nesting has
mostly gone away and fo:blocks are laid-out flat inside fo:flow. It's also
an artifact of hand-coding FO examples to test with, which I am increasingly
convinced is a mistake.
Most people are going to end up having some level of nesting - the example
in the spec in Section 6.5.1 certainly does - so I need to address this.
Hopefully it won't be too ugly, and not take too long.

P.S. I am sort of swamped with lots of things this weekend; if you'd be so
kind as to enter this into Bugzilla it would help jog my memory a few days
down the road. Thanks.

Thanks for your answer !!
The problem is that the table is already in a block, so the span="all"
doesn't work...
The table is nested in body and in section1.
<fo:block>
<fo:block>
<fo:block span="all">
..table..
</fo:block>
</fo:block>
</fo:block>
How can I still make span="all" work ?
Thanks!

Using a <table span="all"> does not span the entire page. However if u use
the table within a block which has a span="all" set, then the table will
come out spanned on the entire page. However watch out for cells that span
more than a page, if that happens FOP will enter an infinite loop!
