Re: [xep-support] how can I create a watermark in my output?

Turns out I wasn't paying attention.

I started with the sample from
http://xep.xattic.com/xep/testsuite/features/bgimage.fo and modified
it locally to have a background reference in the flow, but the image
does not appear:
<fo:flow flow-name="xsl-region-body" background-image="url(draft.svg)"
background-attachment="fixed" background-repeat="no-repeat"
background-position-horizontal="center"
background-position-vertical="center"
rx:background-content-height="100%"
rx:background-content-width="100%">

If I add the same attributes to the first fo:block under fo:flow, and
that fo:block wraps all of the content in fo:flow, I see the
background image on multiple pages.

The question is how can I get the image to appear over the entire page
like a watermark, regardless of how much content is on it? (For
instance, on the last page of my page sequence, I only see part of the
"T" in the word DRAFT because the fo:block region ends near the top of
the page.) Is there a way to do this? Would I have to modify the XEP
intermediate format XML?

thanks, dan
