Good point! Thanks for pointing it out

Why do you say that? I don't create a KnuthPenalty for every alternative.

Where can I find multiple-feasible-nodes.fo? I couldn't find it the examples
directory.

I tried it before but it didn't work.

If there 0 space left on the current page, then the content will be put on the
next page. I'm going to leave it like that for now.

-> Well, I did it because I don't want nested alternative-block or best-fit. I
understand your point but what else can I do to prevent the user from messing
it up? Maybe the best way would be something like this:
if (FOX_URI.equals(nsURI)) {
if ("best-fit".equals(localName) ||
"alternative-block".equals(localName)) {
invalidChildError(loc, FOX_URI, localName);
}
} else {
invalidChildError(loc, nsURI, localName);
}
> addChildArea: not sure if the test curBlockArea != null is necessary, since
> it is initialized in getParentArea. Also, IIUC you are going to deal with
> block areas only, as per the definition of fox:alternative-block
-> For now yes, but later I would like alternative-block to have all sort of
formatting objects as childs, not just FO blocks.
there is code duplicated from other LMs. This is fine for now, but eventually
it would be good to remove that duplication from all the LMs. We can get back
to that later.
-> You have no idea how much I resent code duplication, but I just couldn't
help it there :)
Thanks again Vincent. I'll attach the new patch ASAP

> I have been working on an extension for whitespace management, similar to
> what's described here:
> http://wiki.apache.org/xmlgraphics-fop/WhitespaceManagement
> The logic of the extension is very simple: the user defines a set of
> alternatives that he wishes to insert at the end of a page, then if there is
> enough space left, FOP will pick the alternative that best matches the user's
> selection criteria (first fit, smallest fit, biggest fit).
> This is my first work on FOP and it took me almost 2 months to reach this
> stage in development. But it's not the end of course, so I'm relying on your
> feedback to improve it.
> Thank you
