margin-top of a block in a table-cell

[Juergen Lippold <jl...@unilog.de>]

Hello,

I have got a table with labels. For the labels I want to put in a text with a margin to the top and to the left.
The margin-left value is working all right but the margin-top doesn't do anything. Is this a real bug or is it my fault?
With the padding-top attribute I can reach that there is a margin to the top. Whats the difference between the padding and the margin attribute? Whats the definition when to use what attribute?

Thanks 

Juergen Lippold

Use space-before.

Padding doesn't work. Margins work...marginally.

Trial and error, I'd say. Read the source. FOP has still a lot
of deficiencies.
