Re: [xep-support] image maps?

Hello Carlos,

There is nothing like image-maps in XSL-FO, that is you cannot define
"hot" areas of arbitrary form. However what you can do is create
overlapping rectangular areas using absolutely positioned
fo:block-containers (every such area may be linked to a different
thing). In the simple cases it may feasible to put actual image into
background and just position linked (possibly transparent) objects
atop of it.
