How to put text on an image?

[koenIT]

I want to place an image, and afterwards put some text on this image?
Somebody done this before?

thanks in advanced

There are various ways to do that:
- Set a background image on a block-container and use normal fo:blocks
inside the block-container.
- You can also experiment with negative space-before lengths to achieve
overlaying effects.
- For more fancy text, use SVG to paint the image and the text on it.

Or use absolutely-positioned fo:block-container within the
fo:block-container, since the containing fo:block-container would be the
reference area.

Which is probably the best idea.

Or use multiple absolutely-positioned fo:block-container with different
z-index values.

Or as a last resort, use multiple absolutely-positioned
fo:block-container without using z-index and see if your XSL formatter
will overlay them in any useful manner.
