Letter space [was Re: Kerning]
[Luca] ... A little doubt concerning letter spaces: at the moment, a letter space is assigned to the preceding character. Is this correct? I don't remember any section in the specs stating about the ownership of letter spaces ... I think that everything is simpler, from the point of view of both users and implementors, if each letter space is owned by the preceding (or following) formatting object, but this does not mean it is what the specs require! In [7.16.2 letter-spacing], I read it as if each alphabetic letter has 1/2 a letter space preceding and 1/2 a letter space following the character. These space-before and space-after trait values are then resolved with whatever other spaces that they are up against according to space resolution rules. The same goes for wordspaces which is split into 2 half word spaces. A Word then becomes: hls 'A' hls hws hws hls 'W' hls hls 'o' hls hls 'r' hls hls 'd' hls where 'hls' is half a letter-space and 'hws' is half a word-space. How the hls hls and 'hls hws' sequences are resolved depends the .precedence and .conditionality values. OTOH, it is user agent dependant how letter space is resolved with word spaces, so I think your implementation is complient, it is just not what I think the spec suggest. regards, finn
Re: more feedback on 0.90alpha
As promised, I've done a braindump [1] to the Wiki on the topic. If anyone wants to take it from here, please do. I'll help where I can but as I said, I can't allocate a lot of time for that right now.

Maybe I should take some time during the weekend and write down my ideas on auto table layout on the Wiki [1]. Maybe with such an initial spark someone might finally sit down and take it on. I can imagine the layout engine might look daunting at first. With a few notes this might not look so scary anymore. BTW, you can add and change pages in the Wiki, too. You just have to register. It's a great tool when users want to help users, i.e. if someone would write down his tricks on working around the missing auto table layout. When there's some good and stable content on the Wiki, we can even take that over into the main FOP website.

I have used it to create a number of PDF documents from Docbook/XML sources and the results are excellent!Thanks a million for this. While I don't agree that lack of automated table layout is a deal breaker, I do agree that it is probably the *most* *important* feature yet to be implemented, especially for new users. Since the auto table layout handling is based on the rules for CSS (and says so in the spec), it seems a shame there isn't a reusable library somewhere for this. Since lack of auto-table layout is a FAQ, (or FEC frequently expressed complaint?) it might be a good idea to post some XSLT workarounds.For example, you might simply divide the available space by the number of columns, or you might somehow grab the longest string, multiply times the m-width, and use that, or... Obviously it gets very complicated, which is why it isn't implemented yet :-) but I suspect several people like myself have written various workarounds in XSLT which could be posted on a wiki page or in a FAQ somewhere. Just a thought... Regards, --Craeg Jeremias Maerki Jeremias Maerki
