  • 1.  Box around the footer

    Posted 05-14-2013 16:13


    I've managed to get a border around my document's footer, using foot.sep.rule.

    However, it isn't spaced how I want it and I can't get it to change in the way I want.



    I'm trying to get :

    but I'm getting :

    Note the lack of spacing at both left and right edges. Also the requirement for roughly one text line below the text showing here (some documents will have some text there).

    I seem to get some effect by customizing footer.content.properties - that's how I've got the text to be grey.
    However I don't seem to get any useful effect from the padding attributes, which are the ones I'd expect to need to use for this.
    If I set "padding" I seem to get some padding added at the left edge, but not the other three. Even if I set all four of padding-left/right/top/bottom I only get space added at the left.

    Can anyone advise what I need to do to get padding at right, left and bottom ?

    I'm doing DocBook -> FO and then to PDF using FOP 1.1.

    Regards,
    Richard.

    I don't know what everyone else is seeing in this message ....

    One one client (Outlook) I'm getting little red Xs telling me the image is not available.

    On the other (webmail, using IE 9) I can see the images as I thought I was sending them.



    If they haven't come through please let me know and I'll find some other way of sending them.





    Uncertainly,

    Richard.
