XSL-FO: Static content AND Flow content in Region-Body: Possible?
- by Peterdk
I have the following problem:
I need to use XSLFO to generate a 2-column multipage document. Problem is: I need to have a vertical line between the 2 columns. Since XSLFO does not seem to specify a option for creating such a divider, I need to manually put it there.
I was thinking of using a static rotated blockcontainer with a leader in it.
However, it looks like it's not possible to use static-content on the same region as where the flow content comes.
<fo:layout-master-set>
<fo:simple-page-master
page-width="170mm"
page-height="222mm"
master-name="page"
>
<fo:region-body region-name="xsl-region-body"
margin-top="2mm"
margin-bottom="2mm"
margin-left="10mm"
margin-right="10mm"
column-count="2"
column-gap="5mm"
/>
</fo:simple-page-master>
</fo:layout-master-set>
<fo:page-sequence master-reference="page">
<fo:static-content flow-name="xsl-region-body" ><!-- This gives a error -->
<fo:block>test</fo:block>
</fo:static-content>
<fo:flow flow-name="xsl-region-body">
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</fo:flow>
</fo:page-sequence>
Results in (XEP):
[error] Duplicate identifier: flow-name="xsl-region-body".
Property 'flow-name' should be unique within 'fo:page-sequence'.
Are there any methods to place static content on the main region when also flow content is placed there?
Or: Is there a way to define the divider that divides a 2-column layout?
