[xep-support] Table-cell height/reference-orientation

[Johann Richard]

Hello,

I use XEP 3.5 and I have some table that contains constructs like these:

<fo:table-cell>
   <fo:block-container reference-orientation="90">
      <fo:block>Cell 1</fo:block>
   </fo:block-container>
</fo:table-cell>

What I would expect as output from XEP is a PDF that has the cell's
height adjusted to the length ("height") of the rotated text--or in
other terms--the height of the cell adjusted to the height of the
<fo:block-container/> and its contents. However, XEP produces PDF output
where the height value of this particular cell is such that it will go
to the end of the page-area (See PDF attachment "reftest.wrong.pdf").

Setting the "height" value of the <fo:table-cell/> to "auto" makes the
output behave the same way. However, if I set the height to some value
other than "auto", it produces nicely formatted output.

>From my understanding, this is not what it should behave like. At least,
I couldn't find any information about this in the XSL-FO reference.

Could you please confirm that this is either "normal" behaviour or a
bug.

Thanks a lot.
Best regards,
Johann Richard
