[xep-support] Text positioning

[Alexander Peshkov]

Hello Jan,

Vertical text alignment is normally defined for the whole region. To have
parts of text with different alignment you have to use separate
regions. In your case I would suggest the following:
1. Place "Chapter 1" in static content with display-align="before"
   specified on fo:region-before and text-align="right" specified on
   fo:static-content.
2. Place the rest of the text ("Introductory text") inside normal flow
   with display-align="after" specified on fo:region-body.

A code snippet illustrates this:

<fo:root xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format">
   <fo:layout-master-set>
       <fo:simple-page-master master-name="my-page">
           <fo:region-body margin="1in" display-align="after"/>
           <fo:region-before extent="1in" display-align="before"/>
       </fo:simple-page-master>
   </fo:layout-master-set>
   <fo:page-sequence master-reference="my-page">
        <fo:static-content flow-name="xsl-region-before" text-align="right">
            <fo:block>Chapter 1</fo:block>
        </fo:static-content>
        <fo:flow flow-name="xsl-region-body">
            <fo:block>Introductory text</fo:block>
        </fo:flow>
   </fo:page-sequence>
</fo:root>

Hope this helps.

Best regards,

igd> Hi,

igd> we'd like to align a paragraph of text to the bottom of a page.

igd> Example:

igd> Chapter 1 (<- should appear at the topmost right corner of the page)

igd> Introductory text (<- should be aligned to the bottom of the page)


igd> Could you give a code snippet as example how to do this with XEP?

igd> Best regards,
igd> Jan
