Re: fop layout question

[Mike Trotman]

You might be able to achieve an ugly form of this by writing your text out as SVG and scaling the SVG window - but I've had a few problems with SVG sizing in FOP and haven't had time to sort them out yet - so don't know if this would work at all. It's not the sort of thing that XSL-FO can provide as you don't know until you've finished how much space you need - so it requires feedback / recursion which is un-XSL-FO-ish. When I've had the need for this sort of thing I usually write a Postscript file and post-process it (with a sizing algorithm or with a utility that gives me a bounding box) , then turn the result into PDF (or a graphic to be embedded).
