Re: block rendering problem with 0.20.5rc2
Sorry, I didn't see it. It's not particularly easy to keep up with all the known defects. As to mixing block elements and text, it may not be the best style, but from our point of view is more practical -- the old form vs function debate and in my case function wins every time.

block rendering problem with 0.20.5rc2
The following fo apparently causes the last line of text from the text area of the parent fo:block to be rendered twice, once before the child fo:block and once after it. That is, supposing that deducted as an itemized deduction is the last line of the parent block, this same text will be repeated after the child block element. fo:block fo:leader leader-length=6.0mm leader-pattern=space/ fo:inline font-weight=boldDISCUSSION:/fo:inline his/her employer for the expenses and the expenses equal the reimbursement. All other business expenses incurred by employees (except those incurred by a qualified performing artist) are deducted from adjusted gross income [Sec. 62(a)]. Justins gross income was $31,500 ($30,000 salary + $1,500 expense allowance). When the employee receives an allowance and does not account to the employer for the expenses, the expense allowance is included in gross income, and the expenses are deducted as an itemized deduction. fo:block line-height=1em + 1pt space-after=0mm space-before=0mmfo:leader rule-style=none leader-length=5mm/Therefore, Justins adjusted gross income is $31,500, and his travel, lodging, and entertainment expenses are deductible from adjusted gross income./fo:block /fo:block The same behavior occurs if the child element is an fo:table as well.

RE: handling patches (how about fop 2)
Here is one other point to consider: if you expect the redesign when complete to perform at at least the same level, i.e. with the same coverage of the specification and as many or fewer defects, when it comes online and replaces the current maintenance release, then I imho the project should continue on as it currently is. However, if you expect there to be a significant number of bugs to be discovered and performance to be initially lower, then the project should move to perhaps fop2 so that users could more easily know that there could be problems when they upgrade to a new version of fop. Does this make any sense? Matthew L.

This is a fair point, but I think it weighs only in the decision about whether we have a rewrite or not. In other words, it might weigh into the economics of whether it is worth it for us to merge the sections of code that can be merged. We might be willing to spend more time and effort getting the two branches pulled back together than we would be if the above were not true. If we really do have a rewrite, then I think it will clarify everything to split into two projects, and I don't begrudge folks from working on the old one instead of the new one any more than I would begrudge the RenderX guys working on their product instead of FOP, or the Batik guys working on Batik instead of FOP.

I have the Beginning XSLT Wrox book, and Kay's XSLT 2nd Ed. I'm enthused about learning this stuff, and yet there are some major turnoffs being encountered. Generating documents with FOP is what I'm trying to do. I know TeX, so the XSL:FO is not too strange. I have the ORA book for XSL:FO. I've received an XLST-FO source to maintain, and when I saw the enumerated if-test sequence to choose a month name from 1-12, I thought, There's got to be a shorter way. Page 95 of Kay's book: xsl:variable name=months January/February/March/April/May/June/July/ August/September/October/November/December/ /xsl:variable xsl:value-of select=name($months/*[position()=2]) / I've hard-coded February in this example.

But I tried in a non-static flow, and tried a template version. Nogo. Polemic I'd like to say how utterly disgusted I am at the error messages coming out of my XSLT (FOP) compiles/transformations. Kay's book erroneously shows that last line above as: xsl:value-of select=name($months/*[position()=$mm / FYI, his Wrox book's errata page is 404. When I have the erroneous line in the source, I get over 800 lines of error messages. What, did a 12-yo kid write XSLT-FOP? For bleep's sake get a hold of a professional compiler writer and put in the necessary structures for normal error msgs. Can you imagine the outcry if GNU's gcc did the same thing when one line of code had a syntax error? Apparently I have to type in a few lines of code and see if it compiles before entering more code, because otherwise there's no way to figure out what's wrong! As in, 'The error messages are so bad I have to resort to commenting out code just to have a freakin' clue as to where I went wrong.' What kind of way to develop is that? Yes, I recognize this as Java-style throwing an exception, or in this case, FOPException(). Not an excuse. No, I am not volunteering my time, and I can't code Java. Recently I came up to speed on perl, compiled 8.0 on my Sun SPARC Solaris 8 boxen, and found perl even has a verbose error message mode that will give you a paragraph or two on what the error msg (always for a given line#) might be about and how to fix. Sometimes FOP doesn't even cough up a line number. FOP's non-existent implementation of error reporting is wasting a lot of programmer time and no doubt retards its use. It should be a top priority for upgrading. /Polemic A newbie hunting and pecking through books and Google results... I tried xmlns:date=http://exslt.org/dates-and-times;, but that URL is 404. (I emailed Tennison, and also Wrox about their 404.) So, FOP doesn't have EXSLT functions? I downloaded date.zip from exslt.org and added it to the stylesheet declaration, and an 'xsl:import'. Now it says it can't find a string padding function. Hunt...okay, downloaded and unzipped the 'str.zip' deal. Updated the source...damn, same error. Apparently the 'date' routines are referring to the 'str' routines underneath the 'date' subdir 'functions.' Okay, I tar the 'str' functions directory to overlay the 'date' one. Nogo.

You could use a template to exchange the Euro character in your database for the Unicode number. Here's one I use that works for escaping apostrophe's when for data I insert to MySQL databases.

RE: forward references related design issues
This issue is at least partially addressed when I posted the code earlier today for my FOP extension element fop:WritePageNumber which currently I use to create a Table of contents and index for pdf books. The books are processed through FOP one section, e.g. Introduction, Preface, Chapter 1, at a time. In each section numerous WritePageNumber elements are inserted with associated id's. When FOP encounters these elements, an XML file is created or appended to which has a series of elements, their id's, and the page numbers they occur on. After all sections are processed, I can then generate the Table of Contents and Index from information in the XML file just created. With other references across sections a two pass system would work, wherein if see page x in Document B is encountered, a dummy value is inserted to keep the formatting relatively stable during the first pass. Then after all sections are processed, a second pass could grab the page number values from the xml file with the page numbers. This process could be made better in the case where Document B has been processed before the current reference to it, if I could figure out how to create a valid xml file from the start and merely insert the child elements into it. You could then check to see if the id already exists and, if so, insert the page number and if not wait until the second pass. This process works for TOCs and indexes so I don't see why it could be generalized some more. Anyhow, that's my 2¢ for what it's worth, Matthew L. Avizinis mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Gleim Publications, Inc. 4201 NW 95th Blvd. Gainesville, FL 32606 (352)-375-0772 www.gleim.com http://www.gleim.com -Original Message- From: Victor Mote [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, July 31, 2002 3:23 PM To: mailing list fop-dev Subject: forward references related design issues FOP Developers: Seeing all of the posts about performance issues, esp. related to forward references, has brought to mind some design musings I had on a related topic several months ago, a subset of a bigger issue that is important for work that one of our clients does. They publish several related documents in a collection, with cross-references between them -- for example, document A might say See page x in document B. Now if document A references 20 such documents, one could conceivably end up with 21 documents in memory at the same time, each being processed, and lots of fun dealing with dependencies between them. I realize that FOP doesn't handle this scenario, but thinking through the solution to this problem might provide a general solution for both issues. FrameMaker handles this issue very nicely. You actually have to have all 21 documents open at the same time (although I doubt that the entire document is loaded into memory). However, FrameMaker lives in a state where its layout is already computed and stored, so all it has to do is lookup the page object related to a target. It seems that what is needed for FOP (and probably XSL-FO in general) is an XML document that contains this target information (and perhaps other formatting-specific information as well). FOP would have to run once to compute the targets write this XML target file, then run again to use it. This XML document can be serialized and persist, so that it can be used in the rendering of other documents that might point to its parent. The user would have to be responsible to make sure that the XML document containing the targets is properly updated before being used. (FOP would need a mode that, instead of rendering the document, merely recomputed the target file -- thus a series of documents could be recomputed before any of them are rendered). Obvious issue #1: The content of the target can change the layout of the document, and thereby change the location of the target. The layout manager must explicitly or implicitly estimate the size of the text so that it can continue with the layout work on subsequent pages. This issue exists whether the information is stored in memory or written to a file, so this is not really an issue with the proposed solution. Obvious issue #2: Some (perhaps most) documents will not benefit from a 2-pass solution and persistent layout information. This could be handled in a configuration option (for defaults), and a command-line option (for overrides). Obvious issue #3: Development time. I am not up to speed on the FOP implementation yet, so I don't have a good feel for this issue. However, I see that performance is one of the goals of the redesign, and this might help with that in some cases. Obvious issue #4: Standards compliance / extensions. This or something similar that addresses cross-document references is probably needed as part of the XSL-FO standard, but I do not know whether or when it will be addressed at that level, or how far ahead of that process FOP wants to get

I have an extension element that emits output to an alternate file than the one FOP is mainly processing for, i.e. FOP is humming along spitting out to a certain file, then when a certain element is encountered it emits a page number to another file that the element specifies so I can use it later. What do you mean load my own jars. What I mean is that when I run FOP and use my own extension element I do not want to have to have extra jar files hanging around. I would like the class for my own element contained in the fop.jar just like outline and label. So what I want to know is how to package up my own element with the rest of fop when I build it and have it accessible like outline and label. If this would be more hassle than it's worth, than perhaps you could explain the following in a little more detail (with maybe example code or something). Create a jar file with your classes, it must also include the following file /META-INF/services/org.apache.fop.fo.ElementMapping. In this file you need to put the fully qualified classname of your element mappings class. This class must implement the org.apache.fop.fo.ElementMapping interface. Hopefully, when I am done I can donate some code or at the least spruce up the extension element instructions so that they are easier to follow when implementing a new element. For instance, nowhere does it indicate that if the element has attributes that you have to include them in the codegen/extproperties.xml file in order for fop to even compile correctly. thanks for your time and help, matthew l. avizinis - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
FOP extension elements
Hello all, The following is stated on the FOP website: These extension are available by default. They are automatically loaded and you only need to provide the correct namespace for your embedded xml markup. OK, so fop:outline and fop:label are loaded by default without needing to do the other stuff described in Adding Your Own. What is the mechanism that allows this? In other words, if I have an extension element(s) of my own, what do I have to do in order for them work the same as outline and label and not have to load my own jars. I am assuming, of course, that the documentation listed is still accurate. If it is not, can anyone provide the most recent information for include extension elements? thanks for helping, Matthew L.

Date: Tue, 25 Jun 2002 18:42:43 -0400
Hello FOP developer type folks,
When I put content, just a simple text sentence, inside a table cell
fo:block it does not wrap properly unless I put in a margin-right=0mm
attribute. Is this a defect or is that the way it's supposed to be? Or
could there be something else going on that I should look for?
I am using
0.20.3.
Helpful hints appreciated,

Default is to wrap.

Is there a margin inherited from an enclosing block?
I've bitten several times by this. In this case, put
margin=0mm right on the fo:table element.

OK. I've read the CHANGES file and I see the error of my ways. but now what's this? I don't see anything about it and didn't get this before either.

RE: Merge PDF Documents
Try using two page-sequences in your fo document. Process the first xml file in the first and the second xml file in the second. This way you could render only once. You'd probably have to make use of the document() function somewhere along the way. In my work, I usually have an outline xml file and a questions xml file that are combined to form a single chapter pdf and this is the way I do it. I am not using Xalan or FOP programmatically but calling them from a command line, so I tell the XSL processor what the first file is on the command line, then grab the second using the document() function later in the transform as needed.

internal destination positioning off
Hello all,
I am using fop 0.20.2 and it seems like positioning of all the basic-link
internal destinations are about 5mm to the North of the targeted area in the
result pdf.
I am using it thus:
fo:basic-link color=black internal-destination={$id}some
text/fo:basic-link
I haven't seen any discussion on this, so I'm wondering if I am doing
something incorrectly or if this is a defect in fop.
I also asked a short time ago about the use of named destinations but I have
seen no response to it. Did it get posted?
thanks much,

insertion of named destinations into pdf's
Hello, I saw a brief discussion several (probably about six) months ago about this topic and the outcome didn't seem clear to me whether or not fop supports insertion of name destinations in pdf's (not bookmarks) so that it would be possible to open a pdf to a specific location from either another program or another pdf. As far as I can tell with the examples, newlinktest.fo and link.fo, it is possible to bounce around within a document and to link to another document. However, it looks like it only links to the top of the file, not to some destination in the middle of the file. If it is possible, how would you specify it? Is there some functionality to fo:basic-link that I am missing or is there something undocumented I am not aware of, or is this just not implemented yet? Thanks ahead for any creative suggestions.

RE: should fop fail when xml file contains DOCTYPE?
OK, I've found it -- fop doesn't like the URL's I put in there file:// whereas if I use this in an XSLT file, Xalan doesn't seem to mind when I process other things that don't involve fop.
