Sorry I can't check the archives but they seem to be down.
I'm having trouble with keep properties: I need to ensure that titles aren't
orphaned from their bodies. I want to add
keep-with-next.within-page="always" to the block that contains the title
page, but it doesn't work and is noted on the features page as being broken.
When will there be a fixed version? keep-together would also be incredibly
useful. This problem makes fop almost unusable for me, as otherwise I have
to tell the authors to 'add more words to get the pages to lay out nice'
which is not really OK...
Another question: the -awt renderer. Is there any standard programmatic way
to divert that output into a custom viewer so that fop can be used to create
the reporting piece for a Swing db-based application, or should I just
attack the source with a blunt intelligence? This has potential to solve
all my problems!
Thanks,
Alistair

Please

Hi Horiana,
using <xsl:attribute ...> should work for you. It sets an attribute to the
parent
(short version:)
<fo:block>
<xsl:attribute name="background-color">
<xsl:value-of select="@bgcolor"/>
</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name="font-size">
<xsl:value-of select="@size"/>
</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
</fo:block>

Betreff: fop -xml file.xml -xsl file.xsl -pdf file.pdf
Hi all,
Here is what I want to do. I am using the "Fop" command line application
giving
to it three parameters: the xml file, the xsl file and the name of the
output
pdf file.
I have an xml file with the following content:
<document>
<chapter>
<title>.....</title>
<paragraph color="blue" size="19pt">
<text>..... </text>
</paragraph>
<paragraph color="red" size="10pt">
<text>..... </text>
</paragraph>
....
</chapter>
<chapter> .... </chapter>
</document>
The idea is that "color" and "size" attributes are specific to each
paragraph.
The texts within different paragraphs could be coloured in different colours
and
could have different sizes. I tried to build the xsl file and for a
<paragraph>
I used a fo:block formatting object. The problem is that the "font_size"
attribute of fo:block formatting object has to have a fixed value, so the
xsl
file should look like
<xsl:template match="paragraph">
<fo:block font-size="9pt"
font-family="sans-serif"
line-height="10pt"
text-align="start"
background-color="blue"
start-indent="1cm">
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
</fo:block>
</xsl:template>
But I would like that the "font-size" and "background-color" to take the
values
(somehow and I don't know how) from xml file. I tried something like this:
<fo:block font-size=<xsl:value-of select="@size"/>
font-family="sans-serif"
line-height="10pt"
text-align="start"
background-color="blue"
start-indent="1cm">
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
</fo:block>
but it didn't work.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks,
Horiana
