    Hello Jan,

    Vertical text alignment is normally defined for the whole region. To have
    parts of text with different alignment you have to use separate
    regions. In your case I would suggest the following:
    1. Place "Chapter 1" in static content with display-align="before"
       specified on fo:region-before and text-align="right" specified on
       fo:static-content.
    2. Place the rest of the text ("Introductory text") inside normal flow
       with display-align="after" specified on fo:region-body.

    A code snippet illustrates this:

    <fo:root xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format">
       <fo:layout-master-set>
           <fo:simple-page-master master-name="my-page">
               <fo:region-body margin="1in" display-align="after"/>
               <fo:region-before extent="1in" display-align="before"/>
           </fo:simple-page-master>
       </fo:layout-master-set>
       <fo:page-sequence master-reference="my-page">
            <fo:static-content flow-name="xsl-region-before" text-align="right">
                <fo:block>Chapter 1</fo:block>
            </fo:static-content>
            <fo:flow flow-name="xsl-region-body">
                <fo:block>Introductory text</fo:block>
            </fo:flow>
       </fo:page-sequence>
    </fo:root>

    Hope this helps.

    igd> Hi,

    igd> we'd like to align a paragraph of text to the bottom of a page.

    igd> Introductory text (<- should be aligned to the bottom of the page)

    igd> Could you give a code snippet as example how to do this with XEP?
