FOP fo:leader

Whatever I try I can't get fo:leader to work as I want it to.

I have downloaded the latest version of fop-0.20.5.
I have read the FAQs (which claim it works well)

> http://xml.apache.org/fop/faq.html#leader-expansion


 tried text-align="...." for various things.

I can only get leader to behave at all if I specify the length of the 
leader - which is not a practical option.

I want to write a line at the bottom of my page like:
<left margin>Hyperlink 
...................................................................................... 
Page 1<right margin>

(What I really want is to be able to center something in the middle as 
well - but I get the feeling that's being too ambitious.
e.g.
<left margin>Hyperlink ......................................... Centred 
......................................................... Page 1<right 
margin>)

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

(My current attempt is listed below.
The leader fills the whole of the rest of the line and the 'Page' is 
split onto the next line.

    11     <fo:static-content flow-name="xsl-region-after">
    12       <fo:block font-family="serif" font-size="8pt" 
text-align="justify" text-align-last="justify">
    13
    14       A
    15
    16       (
    17         <fo:basic-link color="blue" 
external-destination="url(http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-xsl/)">
    18 XSL-FO Working Draft
    19         </fo:basic-link>
    20 )
    21       B
    22         <fo:leader leader-pattern="dots" 
leader-length.maximum="100%" rule-style="solid" rule-thickness="1em" 
color="red"/>
    23  Page
    24         <fo:page-number/>
    25       </fo:block>
    26     </fo:static-content>

Re: FOP fo:leader - works

Posted by Mike Trotman <mi...@datalucid.com>.
I take it all back - it now works as expected.
(I think my browser may have cached a PDF or two and given me the wrong 
impression.)

Still not sure if 'text-align' and 'text-align-last' are behaving as I 
expect  - but both together seem to do the trick.
