[xep-support] Re: How to align <fo:block> to the top of a column?

To do that I see two options:

 

1) What is the purpose of the large blue block, can it not be inside
the header with a first page template (instead of a spanned block)?

2) If not, you could use a page layout of one column and an
rx:flow-section of 5 columns.

 

The space is not collapsing under the span=all block because (I believe) it
is not the start of the reference area under the spanned block. It would be
in either case I mention above.

Subject: How to align <fo:block> to the top of a column?

 

In a multi column page layout I use caption blocks with <fo:block
space-before="3mm" space-after="3mm">.

When such blocks start in a new column, I expect the block to be top aligned
ignoring the @space-before attribute.

As you can see from my screenshot, this doesn't work on top of column 5.

 

I suppose the troublemaker is <fo:block span="all">.

 

What can I do to automatically top-align my caption blocks at the beginning
of a column?

 

FO-file, PDF-file and screenshot is included.
