Comments below... > Note in 6.5.3 the paragraph: "Any reference-level-out-of-line areas > returned by the children of the fo:block-container are handled as described > in [6.10.2 fo:float]." Then, looking in 6.10.2 you will see: "The > padding-, border-, and content-rectangles of the block-areas generated by > fo:float all coincide. That is, the padding and border are zero at all > edges of the area." > > Therefore, you cannot successfully play with borders or padding for > absolutely positioned block containers. Only the content *within* the > block-container can have borders ... that is why a block with a border > inside the block-container would show the border. Ken, "Any reference-level-out-of-line areas returned by the children of the fo:block-container" What does, in your opinion, "by the children of the fo:block-container" mean? Doesn't that mean that this statement doesn't apply to the block-container itself, but only to the children of the block-container? I tested with FOP, AntennaHouse and XEP, and they all place borders on an abolute positioned block-container (and also on the children of the block-container!?)
