I think that the reason resources are not forthcoming is because of the barriers to entry that we have raised, the largest being that, if you want to work on the code, you really only get to work on the code that doesn't run. For most people, that is a no starter. I think when the trunk

For my part, I've never understood why people seem to prefer mailing lists to NTTP newsgroups. Has there ever been a discussion about moving to a newsgroup? -Original Message- From: Jeremias Maerki [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, January 23, 2003 9:59 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I think it would be preferable to have a FOP option to output the intermediate FO file that it uses in its processing, similar to the way many compilers can output some of their intermediate files. Just today I've finally diagnosed a strangeness in my program to the fact that using FOP to

I just wanted you all to know that I've been using FOP as the chief enabling technology in a product I'm building, and it has been very useful and powerful. Granted, I have to live within some of the limitations (like the blind tables business), but I've been able to get some very nice

Perhaps Tony knows better, but I have a potentially plausible explanation for Sun being secretive about their project: it may not initially have been intended for eventual open source development. In other words, it could be a failed internal project to create a commercial product.

Current status of re-design

2002-11-04 Thread Patrick Dean Rusk
I've been following this list for a few weeks now, but I'm still unclear as to the current status of the re-design efforts. The FOP Web site's status page hasn't been updated since June, apparently, when the estimate of being 35% done was issued. Anyone want to take a stab at

Collapsing adjoining space-before/space-after pairs

2002-10-26 Thread Patrick Dean Rusk
As I understand the spec, if I have two blocks in succession that both have fo:block ... space-before=12pt space-after=12pt ... then there should only be 12 points separating them, *not* 24, since 12 points satisfied both of their requirements. Let's call that coalescing, for

Wondering about CVS branches

2002-10-25 Thread Patrick Dean Rusk
I've recently started working with FOP, and I gather from this list that there are multiple CVS branches of code, in particular for the new design and for the upcoming 0.20.5. I gather from the fop-cvs messages that at least one of these is called FOP_0-20-0_Alt-Design. How can I

Double-spaced source?

2002-10-25 Thread Patrick Dean Rusk
Do I have a line-ending problem? A lot of the FOP source files seem to be double-spaced. Is that normal? Patrick Rusk - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
