Re: Is FOP Actively Being Developed?
I believe the problem with the status of the project has to do with how up to date the xml.apache.org fop pages are. It would be nice to get more current information up on the website. This would benefit the current users the most because more individuals would get involved in the project causing the project to move forward faster.

Re: page count
Henrik, Your .fo file is an XML document. So, you need to write an XSL that can rewrite the .fo document with some minor changes. Lets say you follow my suggestion and your first XSL generates an .fo with 1234 in those spots where you want the page total. (. . . hm that is a tough problem isn't it?) OK. You have to then render the document using FOP because FOP is the only thing that's going to know how many pages are rendered. You'll have to capture the total number of pages from FOP using that Java variable which I saw referred to in a post about 3 weeks ago (anyone?) and then rewrite the .fo using an XSL like this. Passing in the value for the number of pages as a parameter to your stylesheet. I use saxon and the command line is something like saxon -o output.fo input.fo rewrite.xsl TotalPages=24 There's a Java interface on most XSL processors that allow you to do the same thing. (Or, you could dynamically generate this XSL with the number of pages embedded) version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"; xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format"; exclude-result-prefixes="fo"> Chuck Paussa Henrik Holle wrote: can you please explain me how to count the page in a fo with an xslt? >-Ursprungliche Nachricht- >Von: Chuck Paussa [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >Henrik, > >There is no way to do what you want in FO in one pass.

Re: Spaces and precedence
Hi. Here is the (pruned) FO I get as an result of my xsl transformation. What I wanted to do was suppress additional space between two headlines that directly follow each other. 7.Leistungsspektrum 7.1 Einzelplatzscanner Block one := A Block two := B My understanding of the spec: A and B are stackable areas, have no borders or padding and are not reference-areas (block-progression-direction inherited from parent, no indents specified). A and B have a block stacking constraint S according to rule 3a. in chapter 4.2.5 Space Resolution: S1 := space-after="20pt" precedence="1 S2 := space-before="50pt" precedence="2" S'' := S1 and S2 In this case: S' == S'' because S'' does not contain line-area traits. The resolved space-specifier S would suppress S1 because it has a lower precedence than S2 (point 3 in 4.3.1). Do I get that right? FOP would not suppress anything and just add all spaces. TIA! Ralf
Re: Is FOP Actively Being Developed?
Hi L Rutker, Of course this is happening. Anyone who has read the XSL-FO specification would know about half of the problems we are facing. I suspect what you are really asking is for noticeable signs of progress for the user. All I can say is that this will happen when it is possible. As a rough guess for the development release I think it will take about 320 hours of work involving core knowledge plus another roughly 320 hours of non-core functionality. How this relates to people and dates is unknown. (these estimates could be way off, I would need to break it down further and monitor progress to get a better idea) Regards, Keiron Liddle.

Re: Possible thread-safe issue with fonts
It sounds like it is a threading problem. Do you get any messages like: "Failed to read font metrics file ... " It would appear that two threads could be reading the font metrics file at the same time. Accessing the file is done through the parser so we don't know what it is actually doing and it depends on the parser. I think each time it is a new data set in memory so it probably is not that.

Re: Spaces and precedence
Joerg, This is one of the more complex areas of the spec. It took me some time to work out what it was all for. Arved directed me to an innocuous little statement near the top of 4.2.5 Stacking Constraints. "The intention of the definitions is to identify areas at any level of the tree which have only space between them." The trouble is, that to make sense of all that follows, and of the term "stacking constraint", you need to have read the introduction in 4.3 Spaces and Conditionality, especially in its use of the term "constraint". I find that thinking of "stacking constraint" as "spaces interaction" or "spaces stacking interaction" clarifies the discussion for me. That's why fences are not defined between siblings (the spaces are outside the padding/borders of each sibling, and so are free to interact), but are defined between a child and the sibling of its parent (because non-zero padding/border on the parent will prevent interaction between the spaces of the child and the parent's sibling.) Similar considerations apply to reference areas. I am preparing some notes at the moment on data structures that may be useful for both space specifier and keep resolution, based on the notes I posted a few days ago concerning the relationships between blocks, of which keep processing needed to be aware. I hope to post them in the next few days, with the diagrams that help to make sense of all this. Peter Arved Sandstrom wrote: Joerg, it's the diagrams that accompany Section 4.2.5 that make things halfway understandable. They have an diagrammed example of each clause. There are also some key statements in the first paragraph of 4.2.5 - namely, that the definitions are recursive, and, that the entire point of the definitions is to identify areas that have only spaces between them. So actually I was also half-incorrect, because I spoke too hastily; with respect to the situation with _siblings_ and their space-after/space-before, the borders & padding do _not_ have to have zero width. Even where borders and padding have non-zero width they may have a conditionality of "discard", in which case under certain conditions they look like they have zero width for space-resolution purposes.
