I can't make it right align using a nested table as a hack (using
fop-20140319.jar)
I tried various things, but essentially:
<fo:table width="4.12in">
<fo:table-column column-number="1" column-width="2.19in"/>
<fo:table-column column-number="2" column-width="1.94in"/>
<fo:table-body start-indent="0in">
<fo:table-row>
<fo:table-cell >
<table xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format";
width="2in" writing-mode="rl-tb">
<table-column column-number="1" column-width="2in"/>
<table-body>
<table-row>
<table-cell>
<block>
<inline font-size="11.0pt">ONEالمدينة</inline>
</block>
</table-cell>
</table-row>
</table-body>
</table>
</fo:table-cell>
<fo:table-cell >
<block xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format"; >
<inline font-size="11.0pt">blah</inline>
</block>
</fo:table-cell>
</fo:table-row>
</fo:table-body>
</fo:table>
It does work when @writing-mode is on a table which isn't nested; is
there some logic by which nested tables work differently?
