[xep-support] fo:leaders: leader-alignment="reference-area" in list and tables

[Alexander Peshkov]

Hello Thomas,

As it is stated in XEP Reference manual, 'leader-alignment' property is
not supported by the current version of XEP.

Best regards,

TS> Hi,

TS> assume I want to align dots vertically between two entries. I have the 
TS> following code which uses fo:leaders[1] in combination with 
TS> leader-alignment="reference-area"[2]:

TS>  <fo:table margin-top="1em" border="0.1pt blue">
TS>    <fo:table-column column-width="2em" 
TS>      text-align="right" padding-right="0.5em"/>
TS>    <fo:table-column column-width="proportional-column-width(2)+2pc"/>
TS>    <fo:table-column column-width="2em"/>
TS>    <fo:table-body>

TS>     <fo:table-row>
TS>         <fo:table-cell>
TS>            <fo:block>1.1. </fo:block>
TS>         </fo:table-cell>
TS>         <fo:table-cell>
TS>           <fo:block 
TS>            text-align="start" text-align-last="justify"
TS>           >This is some sample text<fo:leader 
TS>             leader-pattern="dots"
TS>             leader-pattern-width="1em"
TS>             leader-alignment="reference-area"
TS>           /></fo:block>
TS>         </fo:table-cell>
TS>         <fo:table-cell>
TS>           <fo:block text-align="end">10</fo:block>
TS>         </fo:table-cell>
TS>     </fo:table-row>
TS>     <fo:table-row>
TS>         <fo:table-cell>
TS>            <fo:block>1.2. </fo:block>
TS>         </fo:table-cell>
TS>         <fo:table-cell>
TS>            <fo:block text-align="start" text-align-last="justify"
TS>           >This is some longer sample text<fo:leader 
TS>             leader-pattern="dots"
TS>             leader-pattern-width="1em"
TS>             leader-alignment="reference-area"
TS>           /></fo:block>
TS>         </fo:table-cell>
TS>         <fo:table-cell>
TS>           <fo:block text-align="end">200</fo:block>
TS>         </fo:table-cell>
TS>     </fo:table-row>         
TS>    </fo:table-body>
TS>  </fo:table>
   
TS>  and the same as a list:
      
TS>  <fo:list-block>
TS>    <fo:list-item>
TS>      <fo:list-item-label end-indent="label-end()">
TS>          <fo:block text-align="end">1.1</fo:block>
TS>      </fo:list-item-label>
TS>      <fo:list-item-body start-indent="body-start()">
TS>          <fo:block 
TS>               text-align="start" 
TS>               text-align-last="justify"
TS>             >This is some sample text<fo:leader 
TS>           leader-pattern="dots"
TS>           leader-pattern-width="1em"
TS>           leader-alignment="reference-area"
TS>           />10</fo:block>          
TS>      </fo:list-item-body>
TS>    </fo:list-item>
TS>    <fo:list-item>
TS>      <fo:list-item-label end-indent="label-end()">
TS>          <fo:block text-align="end">1.2</fo:block>
TS>      </fo:list-item-label>
TS>      <fo:list-item-body start-indent="body-start()">
TS>          <fo:block 
TS>               text-align="start" 
TS>               text-align-last="justify"
TS>             >This is some longer sample text<fo:leader 
TS>           leader-pattern="dots"
TS>           leader-pattern-width="1em"
TS>           leader-alignment="reference-area"
TS>           />200</fo:block>          
TS>      </fo:list-item-body>
TS>    </fo:list-item>
TS>  </fo:list-block>

TS> I use XEP 4.4 build 20050926 but there is a difference between the "table 
TS> dots" and the "list dots". The table dots are aligned but the list dots 
TS> are not.

TS> As a comparison I used fop 0.20.5. FOP produced the same results in tables 
TS> and lists. I wonder now, which formatter is correct? Do I miss something 
TS> important?

TS> Thanks,
TS> Tom
