[xep-support] FW: Image border in scale-to-fit mode

Hello,

I've still have no solution for this. Setting the border in the <fo:external-graphic> doesn't help, result is the same. I am trying to find any workaround but I have no idea how to accomplish this. Although either some special XEP processing instruction (not available at present) or analyzing XEP intermediate output format (which probably doesn't store such kind of information) seems to me as not very standard solution, if this would be a way, I would be grateful for any details.

Hello Everyone,

no ideas? If the image is narrower than width of available area, border is spread to the whole area. In XSLT template there is not possible to predict if the image will have to be scaled down or not and according to this information to handle images differently. I think that technically there is no problem to get necessary border size, but XEP renders it according to the specification, what is problem in this case. Should I change XSL-FO code for this somehow?
