XSL-FO questions

[Carlos Araya <el...@valinor.sjsu.edu>]

Hello,

I have a couple quick questions about FO. 

1. How can you generate Linebreaks? I've tried putting each object in its
own <fo:block> element, but that still gives me the elements in one single
line when viewing the resulting PDF file. 

2. Can you use <fo:block> to set up per-element margins? Is it valid in
XSL-FO to say <fo:block margin-top="1in" margin-bottom="1in">? I've tried
it and it works with some attributes, but not others. 

An example PDF file, produced with Xalan as the XSLT processor and FOP as
the FOP producer is at

An HTML version that is closer to what I want can be viewed at

Thanks for any and all help
Carlos

Carlos,
Try using something like the following:

<fo:block space-before.optimum="10pt" space-after.optimum="10pt">
    This text will have space before it and after it
</fo:block>

Hope that helps.
Jordan
