Customizing header alignment with image

[spr]

When I add an image to page header, the text is aligned on top of the header table.

Have tried following, without success:
  <xsl:attribute-set name="header.table.properties">
    <xsl:attribute name="table-layout">fixed</xsl:attribute>
    <xsl:attribute name="background-color">yellow</xsl:attribute>
    <xsl:attribute name="vertical-align">bottom</xsl:attribute>
  </xsl:attribute-set>

As you can see in attached image, the chapter title is on top of table. Would like to align with base of image (shown with red line).



Ideas?

There is no "vertical-align" property in XSL-FO.  You are looking for
display-align, whose enumerated values are:

 auto | before | center | after | inherit

You want "after" instead of bottom.  A good reference is necessary when
working with XSL-FO.  I use the original specification at:

http://www.w3.org/TR/xsl/

In particular, see Appendix D, Property index.

This didn;t work either:
  <xsl:attribute-set
    name    = "header.table.properties">
    <xsl:attribute
      name  = "table-layout">fixed</xsl:attribute>
    <xsl:attribute
      name  = "width">100%</xsl:attribute>
    <xsl:attribute
      name  = "background-color">yellow</xsl:attribute>
    <xsl:attribute
      name  = "alignment-adjust">alphabetic</xsl:attribute>
    <xsl:attribute
      name  = "display-align">after</xsl:attribute>
  </xsl:attribute-set>

Added attribute alignment-adjust in addition to display-align as well...

When working with FOP, the compliance page is handy:
http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/compliance.html.

According to that page, display-align is only partially implemented, which
may explain why it did not work as you expected.

This is not a FOP issue here. The display-align setting on the header
table is overriden by display-align="before" set on the table-cells.
This is hardcoded in the header.table template in pagesetup.xsl.

Copy/paste this template in your customization layer, remove the
display-align setting for each table-cell in it, and then that should
work. Maybe DocBook customization wizards will have better
recommendations.

HTH,
Vincent

Thanks Vincent!
It really works :)

I changed display-align for all columns in the header.

Not sure if i could file a defect/ enhancement for docbook-xsl...
Copying a big template to customize only alignment doesn't seem elegant.
