Re: Which came first, the chicken or the egg?
2011/7/19 Eric Douglas edoug...@blockhouse.com: I've tried to reference a source project rather than a compiled jar wherever possible. The annoying part of referencing the compiled jar is when I run from the IDE in debug mode and it pops up windows saying no code attached. Plus I thought it made more sense to have the source for everything open sourced in case there's any reusable code or any confusion on what the methods do. Eric, I suggest you to use jar unless you don't need to change the code. In most of the developing tools there is a way to bind the source code jar to the compiled jar in order to have all the debug features. In Eclipse, for instance, this can be achieved from the Project - Properties - Java Build Path dialog box: here you can add external (compiled) jar as desired. Once you have added a jar, click on the small triangle near the jar name, and you have new options: click on the source attachment option and insert the path of the source code jar. Done :-) G. -- Giuseppe Briotti g.brio...@gmail.com Alme Sol, curru nitido diem qui promis et celas aliusque et idem nasceris, possis nihil urbe Roma visere maius. (Orazio)
Re: FormattingObjectsForIndexing - intermediate format or extension?
Thanks Andreas. I'll travel the code a bit and then come back. If I'll success in such coding, I'll write all on the wiki (how I did it!)

Re: FormattingObjectsForIndexing - intermediate format or extension?
2011/5/16 Andreas L. Delmelle andreas.delme...@telenet.be If a standard feature covers your requirements, but is not implemented, then obviously from our perspective, you are very much encouraged to try and add this. :-) If some the above does not immediately make sense or raises further questions, just chime back in here. Thanks! Regards, Andreas TKS Andreas, in the meanwhile I setup Eclipse and FOP packages in a project, and started to take a look at the code and structure. I didn't find a class diagram or some overview documentation (just a bigpicture page :-) ). I will check your suggestion.

FormattingObjectsForIndexing - intermediate format or extension?
Hi all, I'm really interested on merge-pages-across-index-key-references / merge-sequential-page-numbers / merge-ranges-across-index-key-references. As per http://wiki.apache.org/xmlgraphics-fop/FormattingObjectsForIndexingit seems that they are: 1) Rather straightforward properties to implement on the FO tree side (simple enums). 2) Of lesser importance for the base implementation. 3) If FOP can get to the point where it correctly outputs a sequence of page-numbers for a given index-key, these will be relatively easy features to add. The point (1) suggests that this is not so complicated. The point (2) suggests that this feature is not so close to complete. The point (3) suggests that there is some kind of problem to correctly outputs a sequence of page numbers. I know that I can use a double-pass approach and act on Intermediate Format. I can figure out if it possible to obtain the same result by a new extension or implementing such feature in the FOP code. I would like to try :-) Any suggestion?

Introduction
Hi all! I'm Giuseppe Briotti and I'm here due to Pascal suggestion. I'm an italian developer, experienced in Java, C# and C/C++ for rich client application (some PHP too :-) ). I'm presently working on XML, XSLT and FO to produce complex document for the italian PA. Most of them are speech report and bills with a simple structure but complex layout and annexes. During my developing I faced index and toc problems due to unsupported feature of FO for Index (i.e. section 6.10 of XSL 1.1 Recommendation). Thus several solution are available: 1. buy a commercial product instead of using FOP. 2. using double pass technique. 3. partecipating to the FOP developing and give some contribution to the problem if possible (I know that the team priorities probably are different...). So, due to the economical crysis the point 1 is discarted :-) The point 2 is the present solution (a little bit expensive, indeed). The point 3 is, if possible, the future :-) G. -- Giuseppe Briotti g.brio...@gmail.com Alme Sol, curru nitido diem qui promis et celas aliusque et idem nasceris, possis nihil urbe Roma visere maius.

I have nothing to do w/ your work, and get emails CONSTANTLY from you all. I've tried to reach out and ask to get taken off, w/ no luck. Could you please help? Thanks. “Time goes by so fast, people go in and out of your mailing-list :-) Well, Brooke, did you try to send a mail to fop-dev-unsubscr...@xmlgraphics.apache.org with subject unsubscribe?
