XSL-FO - Lists and Tables

Part:   1  2  

(Continued from previous part...)

Note that:

  • The caption-side="after" attribute specifies that the caption text goes to the bottom of the table.
  • "table-header" is usually the first row, which serves as the column headers.
  • "table-footer" is usually the last row of the table.

"leader" Statements

"leader": An XSL-FO element serving as a special statement to generate one inline area filled with specified pattern. The pattern can be space, dots or rule, and length of the pattern can be fixed or extendable based on the inline stacking constrains. The following code shows two examples:

<fo:block">
Your name [<fo:leader leader-pattern="space" leader-length="2in"/>]
</fo:block>
<fo:block" text-align-last="justify">
Author <fo:leader leader-pattern="dots"/> Herong yang
</fo:block>
