writing-mode="rl" and start sidebar = "left" and end sidebar = "right"

[Jonathan Levinson <Jo...@intersystems.com>]

Hi,

A colleague of mine claims that the start region should be "right" in the attached PDF file generated from the attached fo.

Is she correct (and there is a bug in FOP) or is there a misunderstanding?

Thanks,
Jonathan

First, the specification of writing-mode on fo:region-* elements has no
affect, unless use is made of the from-page-master-region() property value
function [1]. However, this property value function is not yet supported in
FOP. Work is underway to support it, but has not been committed yet. See
[2] for tracking.

Second, there is a bug in that writing-mode on fo:simple-page-master is not
being used to determine the layout of region viewport/reference pairs
within the page. See [3] for tracking.
