Re: [css2xslfo-support] Padding for top and bottom regions

[USHAKOV, S. <us...@in...>]

Hi Werner,

preparing an example helped bringing thoughts in order quite a lot :)

I was wrong partially, as nothing looks wrong about top regions. Any space 
required for them is sufficiently controlled with their "height" attribute.

Still there seems to be a problem with bottom regions. You can control their 
height. You can apply borders. Paddings inside the borders behave as 
expected. But if you wish to have a non-zero top margin to separate the top 
border from the body region, then it seems to be ignored. Please find a 
sample attached. I have declared "margin-top" for the bottom region big 
enough, but the PDF that results from the generated FO shows no substantial 
gap between the body and the border...

My best regards,
Sergey

Hi Sergey,

The top and bottom regions have a fixed height and always abut on the body 
region. This means that whatever you put in them should fit this height. I 
would expect padding to work also for top and bottom regions. Perhaps you 
can send me the example?

Best regards,

Werner.
