[xep-support] Re: Fixed width field and leaders

[Mark Burton]

Hi Kevin,

Many thanks for the response. I now have a solution based on your
suggestions. FYI, here it is:

<fo:table width="100%">
      <fo:table-column column-width="10%"/>
      <fo:table-column/>
      <fo:table-body>
        <fo:table-row padding-bottom="2pt">
          <fo:table-cell start-indent="0pc">
            <fo:block text-align="left">
              <fo:basic-link internal-destination="{$id}">
                <xsl:if test="$label != ''">
                  <xsl:copy-of select="$label"/>
                </xsl:if>
              </fo:basic-link>
            </fo:block>
          </fo:table-cell>
          <fo:table-cell start-indent="0pc">
            <fo:block text-align="left" text-align-last="justify" width="90%">
              <fo:basic-link internal-destination="{$id}">
                <xsl:apply-templates select="." mode="title.markup"/>
              </fo:basic-link>
              <xsl:text> </xsl:text>
              <fo:inline keep-together.within-line="always">
                <fo:leader leader-pattern="dots" 
                  keep-with-next.within-line="always"/>
                <xsl:text> </xsl:text>
                <fo:basic-link internal-destination="{$id}">
                  <fo:page-number-citation ref-id="{$id}"/>
                </fo:basic-link>
              </fo:inline>
            </fo:block>
          </fo:table-cell>
        </fo:table-row>
      </fo:table-body>
    </fo:table>

One oddity that took me by surprise was that I had to explicitly set
the table-cell start-indents to 0 otherwise some of the content in
the TOC was shifted to the right - specifically, the lines for sections
were shifted to the right but the lines for sub-sections were not.

Anyway, thanks again for your help.

Cheers,

Mark
