[xep-support] vertical block alignment

Hello Jack,

The simple solution is to add both keep-with-next.within-line="always"
and keep-with-previous.within-line="always" to fo:leader. In this case
page number citation (nr) will never be left alone on the line (note
that there are should not be any spaces adjacent to fo:leader).
However if you want nr to be outdented to the right from the chapter
text you can add positive end-indent and appropriate negative
last-line-end-indent to the whole block, i.e.:
  <fo:block text-align-last="justify" end-indent="20pt" last-line-end-indent="-20pt">
    some title text page<fo:leader keep-with-next.within-line="always" keep-with-previous.within-line="always"/>nr
  </fo:block>

Hope this helps.

Best regards,

JB> Hi there,

JB> i have been strugling the last few days with a toc problem:
JB> what i want is the following:

JB> it's a two columns toc and every item should be like:

JB> NR      some title text pagenr

JB> NR is a chapter number: should be right aligned: is no problem
JB> 'some title text' is the chapter text: should be aligned left and
JB> can span multiple lines: no problem either
JB> pagenr is the pagenr: it should be aligned right and at the
JB> same height as the last line of chapter text: here the puzzle starts

JB> I tried the <fo:leader> in a block with the 'text-align-last="justify"' 
JB> attribute but sometimes the pagenr gets pushed to the new line and i get
JB> a line like:
JB>          1             9

JB> I tried nested fo-list blocks but i can't find a way to get the pagenr
JB> at the same height as the last line of the chapter title. 

JB> I am obviously missing something simple, i hope. Can anyone tell me 
JB> what it is ? 

JB> kind regards,

JB>         Jack Broeren (Ambrac)
