  • 1.  Side by side formatting

    Posted 09-14-2008 05:23
    I am using the side by side formatting example from
    http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/SideBySide.html.

    I use this to have section numbers indent left from the body. This
    properly indents the section title to
    provisional-distance-between-starts. However, I was expecting the
    section title to be separated from the label by
    provisional-label-separation if the label is longer than
    provisional-distance-between-starts.

    The latter is not happing and the label overwrites part of the section
    title. With that, I am getting the following warnings from fop:
    WARNING: Line 1 of a paragraph overflows the available area by 19549mpt.
    (fo:block, location: 3/355188)

    Is this a problem with fop (I am using 0.95), or am I misunderstanding
    the side by side formatting behaviour?
