best approach for labels use-case
My current need is to output chunks which are, more-or-less, formatted like from/to/postage blocks on an envelope. The chunks are full page width and slightly less than 1/3 page long (thus fitting 3 per page). One of the blocks is an image of a logo. This is essentially the problem of printing one column of labels on a page. I am seeking opinions as to the best approach to take, given the current state of FOP 0.20.3, achieving this. Is this even possible in FOP 0.20.3? Should I treat each envelope as a table? Each page as a table? Should I take some completely different, non-FOP, approach such translating the data something readable by a WP program and using that programs ability to make labels?

what does IPD refer to? ie how to fix table error re IPD
I am getting an error using FOP 0.20.3 [ERROR]: At least one of minimum, optimum, or maximum IPD must be specified on table. What does IPD refer to? That is, how best to fix this? R.Parr Temporal Arts - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
FOP TXTRenderer example?
I have been trying to get the FOP TXTRenderer working to produce some simple ASCII reports but have been singularily unable to get any kind of decent result. I am trying to use FOP TXTRenderer (as opposed to just XSLT text output) because I have to wrap some relatively long descriptions and I have to right justify some columns. I have not been able to find much help in doing either from within XSLT. I get results (fop is working fine) but no matter how I vary the parameters I always get lots of extra whitespace between the words. Is there some reasonable set of font, margins, etc. that will produce a more-or-less non-justified plain text paragraph? Does anyone have any simple examples? = ?xml version=1.0? fo:root xmlns:fo=http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format; fo:layout-master-set fo:simple-page-master master-name=only page-height=99in page-width=8.5in margin-top=0in margin-bottom=0in margin-left=0in margin-right=0in fo:region-body/ /fo:simple-page-master /fo:layout-master-set fo:page-sequence master-name=only fo:flow flow-name=xsl-region-body fo:block font-size=10pt font-family=Courier text-align=start white-space-collapse=false !-- space-treatment=ignore not implimented yet -- This is my block of text that goes accross multiple lines, etc. /fo:block /fo:flow /fo:page-sequence /fo:root = This is my block of text that goes accrossmultiplelines, etc. = Thank R.Parr Temporal Arts - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
