overflow of fixed block-container
Hi,
I have a simple document with three block-containers, each with a fixed
position on the page, aligned horizontally (page split into three parts).
When the top block-container overflows, I want the overflow to go to a new
page (with the other two areas of the page blank). Is that possible? I could
post code if that's helpful.

Hi Matthias
Difficult to say. It's definitely not easy, especially if you're not yet
familiar with the layout engine. Flow Map introduces the ability to have
multiple flow which all have their own column and page breaks. I think
someone has started flow maps in the past but didn't get far (just some
FO classes I think). You might want to check the archives. Flow Maps
would definitely be a great feature for many. But you'd be in for a
non-trivial project. I wouldn't dare make an effort estimation. But it
would be great if you could jump in here.

Hi Jeremias,
do you think it would be very complicated to implement flow maps? I might
have clients which are interested in this feature.

Matthias

Hi Russel,
what you're looking for is essentially the flow-map feature of XSL 1.1,
I believe. That allows you to define multiple "flow regions" where
content can flow from one page to the other. Absolutely/fixed positioned
block-containers can't overflow to the next page. Only block-containers
with absolute-position="auto" (the default) can do that.
The problem: FOP doesn't implement flow-maps, yet.

(see description of the "repeat" value)

Haven't cracked rev 1.0 yet but maybe it the top container was the
entirety of the region body and the same page-master is in effect the
text would show in a similarly place box on the next page. (Nothing will
ever get to the other boxes tho.)
