Constructor Detail

### BlockContainer

    public BlockContainer(FONode parent)

  Creates a new BlockContainer instance as a child of the given `FONode`.

  Parameters:
    `parent` - `FONode` that is the parent of this object

Method Detail

### bind

    public void bind(PropertyList pList)
              throws FOPException

  Bind property values from the property list to the FO node. Must be overridden in all FObj subclasses that have properties applying to it.

  Overrides:
    `bind` in class `FObj`
  Parameters:
    `pList` - the PropertyList where the properties can be found.
  Throws:
    `FOPException` - if there is a problem binding the values

### startOfNode

    protected void startOfNode()
                        throws FOPException

  Called after processNode() is called. Subclasses can do additional processing.

  Overrides:
    `startOfNode` in class `FObj`
  Throws:
    `FOPException` - FOP Exception

### validateChildNode

    protected void validateChildNode(org.xml.sax.Locator loc,
                                     java.lang.String nsURI,
                                     java.lang.String localName)
                              throws ValidationException

  Checks to make sure, during SAX processing of input document, that the incoming node is valid for this (parent) node (e.g., checking to see that `fo:table` is not an immediate child of `fo:root`) called from `FOTreeBuilder.startElement(String, String, String, Attributes)` before constructing the child `FObj`.
  XSL Content Model: marker* (%block;)+
  BUT: "In addition an fo:block-container that does not generate an absolutely positioned area may have a sequence of zero or more fo:markers as its initial children." The latter refers to block-containers with absolute-position="absolute" or absolute-position="fixed".

  Overrides:
    `validateChildNode` in class `FONode`
  Parameters:
    `loc` - location in the FO source file
    `nsURI` - namespace of incoming node
    `localName` - name of the incoming node (without namespace prefix)
  Throws:
    `ValidationException` - if incoming node not valid for parent

### endOfNode

    protected void endOfNode()
                      throws FOPException

  Primarily used for making final content model validation checks and/or informing the `FOEventHandler` that the end of this FO has been reached. The default implementation simply calls `FONode.finalizeNode()`, without sending any event to the `FOEventHandler`.
  Note: the recommended way to override this method in subclasses is
  `super.endOfNode(); // invoke finalizeNode()
  getFOEventHandler().endXXX(); // send endOfNode() notification`

  Overrides:
    `endOfNode` in class `FONode`
  Throws:
    `FOPException` - if there's a problem during processing

### generatesReferenceAreas

    public boolean generatesReferenceAreas()

  Description copied from class: `FObj`
