http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=26778 [PATCH] Support for percentages and table-units ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2004-02-15 20:46 ------- Finn, I see you also solved another problem, viz. that fo:layout-master-set did not return a proper IPD. However, I am not happy with your solution. During the layout process, you feed the page dimensions back into the FO tree, in PageLayoutManager.createPageAreas. I think it would be a better design if, in order to resolve the percent-based properties, you would not climb the FO tree but the Area tree. That avoids feeding back results from the Area tree into the FO tree. The XSL spec says (XSL-PR/slice3.html#section-N1208-Conceptual-Procedure): 'The formatting object supplies parameters to its children based on the traits of areas already in the area tree, possibly including areas generated by the formatting object or its ancestors.' Holding those parameters in the FO tree is one solution. Extracting them from the area tree layed out up to that point is another solution, which has the advantage that it does not load the FO tree with information that it does not need to have.
