Fop table not displayed correctly in rtl mode

Question

I have the following fop code generated for displaying a table with 2 column and 2 row with some data.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

Problem: Table not right aligned in rtl mode but the contents within the cells are right aligned which is correct by the way. I checked the output, and see that writting-mode is applied to the table cells correctly displaying text right to left but the table as such is not right aligned despite giving right and absolute-position attribute to the block-container. I tried giving the same attributes to fo:table still it did not work.

I check the apache fop docs and I have used the attributes correctly. Let me know if I am missing something.

please check below Image for output generated by the above code.

Answer 1

While this is not an answer, it could be. Tested with RenderX, output is this:

Which if this is what you expect, you should file a bug report with FOP. The table should be built right to left.
