AH Formatter / XSL Formatter
Q&A

Q.	I specified `padding-before="xx%"` as follows because I thought that the value of `padding-before` became a ratio to the height of `fo:table-cell`, however the result seems to be different from my forecast. How does XSL Formatter calculate it? <fo:table-body> <fo:table-row> <fo:table-cell padding-before="1%"> <fo:block>... [No.2005032501]
A.	In 7.29.15 "padding" of the W3C Recommendation, it is described as follows: CSS2 Definition: Value: <padding-width>{1,4} \| inherit Initial: not defined for shorthand properties Applies to: all elements Inherited: no Percentages: refer to width of containing block Media: visual "Percentages" of `padding-before` is a ratio to the width of the containing `block` according to this description. However, you can specify the ratio to the height of `fo:table-cell` by specifying from-nearest-specified-value as follows: <fo:table-cell padding-before="from-nearest-specified-value(height) * 0.01">

<fo:table-body>

In 7.29.15 "padding" of the W3C Recommendation, it is described as follows:

CSS2 Definition:

Value: <padding-width>{1,4} | inherit
Initial: not defined for shorthand properties
Applies to: all elements
Inherited: no
Percentages: refer to width of containing block
Media: visual

"Percentages" of padding-before is a ratio to the width of the containing block according to this description. However, you can specify the ratio to the height of fo:table-cell by specifying from-nearest-specified-value as follows:

<fo:table-cell padding-before="from-nearest-specified-value(height) * 0.01">
