Border problem with dynamic content
I'm fairly new to FOP and I have a problem I haven't been able to solve. My
goal is to have rectangular (8X10) border (top, bottom, left right) on every
single page of my document regardless if the content will fill up the page
or not. The problem I'm having is that border basically stops when the
content ends on subsequent pages. I can not predict the amount of data that
will coming from an XML file so the content size will vary. I would like the
border to extend to the bottom of every page, even if the content does not
fill up the whole page.
Below is example of my code for your review.
<fo:table table-omit-header-at-break="false"
table-layout="fixed"
height="100%"
width="18cm"
border-collapse="separate"
border-style="solid"
border-width="2pt"
border-color="black"
border-before-width="2pt"
border-before-width.conditionality="retain"
border-after-width="2pt"
border-after-width.conditionality="retain">
<fo:table-body>
<fo:table-row>
<fo:table-cell>
<fo:block>
<xsl:for-each select="//*">
NAME: <xsl:value-of select="name()"/>
<xsl:if test="count(node()) = 1">
VALUE: <xsl:value-of select="node()"/>
</xsl:if>
<xsl:if test="not(count(node()) = 1)">
LENGTH: <xsl:value-of select="count(node())"/>
</xsl:if>
<!--VALUE: <xsl:value-of
select="node()[(string(.))]"/> -->
<fo:block />
</xsl:for-each>
</fo:block>
</fo:table-cell>
</fo:table-row>
</fo:table-body>
</fo:table>
Thanks in advance,
William

Thanks for the hint, I ended up using something very close to it.
I just wrote "non-standard values" as "non-standard behaviour" made me
think of something unpredictable and hazardous :-)

Maybe just: "(non-standard behaviour available if relaxed validation is
enabled)"

(hoping this does not come too late)
Borders on regions should work, but relaxed validation must be turned
on (with the -r option on the command line, for example) otherwise the
validation error prevents the creation of the pdf.
For the other devs: what if I modify the validation message concerning
borders / paddings on regions so that it says something like "this is
not strictly valid, but if you really need it ..."?

You are goingt to need to put the border on fo:region-body and make the
fo:region-body extend to the edge of the page. Strictly speaking this is
not allowed by the XSL-FO specification but I believe FOP allows it. If
you have side regions, i.e. fo:static-content then this approach may not
work for you.
