Center block with border
Hi,
i would like to center and border blocks (some blocks may contain linefeed or
may extend page/block width --> multi-lines) like this :
---------------------------
| |
| |
| --------- |
| | bla | |
| --------- |
| |
| |
| ------------- |
| | bla | |
| | bla bla | |
| ------------- |
| |
| |
---------------------------
If i use :
<fo:block border-style="solid" padding="0.5cm">bla bla</fo:block>
<fo:block white-space-collapse="false" white-space-treatment="preserve"
text-align="center" border-style="solid" padding="0.5cm">bla bla
bla bla bla</fo:block>
the border take all page's width :
---------------------------
| |
| |
|-------------------------|
|| bla ||
|-------------------------|
| |
| |
| |
|-------------------------|
|| bla ||
|| bla bla ||
|-------------------------|
| |
| |
---------------------------
If i use :
<fo:block><fo:inline border-style="solid" padding="0.5cm">bla
bla</fo:inline></fo:block>
<fo:block white-space-collapse="false" white-space-treatment="preserve"
text-align="center" border-style="solid" padding="0.5cm"><fo:inline
border-style="solid" padding="0.5cm">bla bla
bla bla bla</fo:inline></fo:block>
the 1st block is ok, but the 2nd... :
---------------------------
| |
| |
| --------- |
| | bla | |
| --------- |
| |
| |
| --------- |
| | bla |
| ------------- |
| --------- |
| bla bla | |
| ------------- |
| |
| |
---------------------------

Ps : blocks are in a table (all page width), each in a row/cell (span)

Bad news: The layout manager for fo:inline-container is an empty shell.
It just doesn't work, yet. http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/compliance.html#fo-object-inline-container

Thank's.
With <fo:inline-container> there is no print, just white space.
Automatic table layout is not supported by FOP, and i have no idea how estimate
line width, so...

The second is a though one. You could try an inline-container:
<fo:block white-space-collapse="false" white-space-treatment="preserve"
text-align="center" border-style="solid"
padding="0.5cm"><fo:inline-container><fo:block border-style="solid"
padding="0.5cm">bla bla
bla bla bla<fo:block></fo:inline-container></fo:block>
I'm not sure whether FOP 0.91 already implements enough of
inline-container to make this work.
In any case, I somehow doubt there is a pure FO solution without
automatic table layout. I'd concentrate on trying to estimate the
line widths and go for the classic blind table centering solution.
Asking on the Yahoo FO list or the XSL list, where Ken Holman and
Eliot Kimber tend to hang out, might get you a more satisfactory answer.
