Thanks for the reply.
So, does that mean that the entry in src/codegen/foproperties.xml
should be edited so it doesn't say <datatype>ToBeImplemented</datatype>?
If its being handled correctly, then we don't need the message to be
printed. If there is some work still to be done before it can be
considered completely supported, perhaps its a small enough task that
I could figure it out...
If nobody else is working on this, I'll go dig into the spec to see
where the possibilities are discussed and then crawl through the code
to see if I can find the right place(s) to make changes. I've not
contributed code before, so pointers would be appreciated. From a
little find+grep I see that linefeed-treatment is mentioned only in
foproperties.xml and in src/org/apache/fop/fo/flow/Block.java (but
it is only in a comment there). I see that white-space-collapse is
mentioned in a few places.
