fo:block
Group information
Namespace: http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format
Schema document: fo.xsd
Content
- Choice [1..1]
- fo:blockFormats paragraphs, titles, headlines, figure and table captions, etc. The start edge (and end edge) of the block is displaced by the least amount necessary to insure that (a) the start edge (end edge) of the block does not intersect any of the start intrusions (end intrusions) that overlap that block and (b) the amount by which it is displaced is at least as much as the displacement of the parent area, provided the parent is a block-area which is not a reference-area. An intrusion is said to overlap a block if the there is a line parallel to the inline progression direction that intersects the allocation rectangles of both the block and the intrusion.
- fo:block-containerGenerates a block-level reference-area.
- fo:table-and-captionFormats a table together with its caption.
- fo:tableA table.
- fo:list-blockA list.
- fo:multi-switchWraps the specification of alternative sub-trees of formatting objects (each sub-tree being within an fo:multi-case), and controls the switching (activated via fo:multi-toggle) from one alternative to another.
- fo:multi-propertiesSwitches between two or more property sets that are associated with a given portion of content.
- fo:index-range-beginThe beginning of an "indexed range" associated with an index key. The index range is ended by a corresponding fo:index-range-end.
- fo:index-range-endThe end of an "indexed range" that is started by its matching fo:index-range-begin.
- fo:wrapperSpecifies inherited properties for a group of formatting objects. It has no additional formatting semantics.
- fo:retrieve-markerUsed in conjunction with fo:marker to produce running headers or footers.
- fo:retrieve-table-markerUsed in conjunction with fo:marker to produce table-headers and table-footers whose content can change over different pages, different regions or different columns.
- fo:change-bar-beginThe beginning of a "change region" that is ended by its matching fo:change-bar-end. The change region is decorated with a change bar down either the start or end edge of the column. The style of the change bar is determined by the value of various change bar related properties.
- fo:change-bar-endThe end of a "change region" that is started by its matching fo:change-bar-begin.
- fo:floatServes two purposes. It can be used so that during the normal placement of content, some related content is formatted into a separate area at beginning of the page (or of some following page) where it is available to be read without immediately intruding on the reader. Alternatively, it can be used when an area is intended to float to one side, with normal content flowing alongside.
