you can use the "@" symbol to test the 
attribut,

xsl:template match="node1"
 xsl:if test="@attr1" 
/*test whether has the attribute attr1 or 
not*/
 /*do your operation at here*/
 /xsl:if
/xsl:template

Hahn Kurt (CHA) wrote:
 I'm generating a document from a DB which contains fields of up to 2000
 characters In those fields,any line-break is stored, and if I look at my
 XSL-FO in a text-editor, I see that all the line-breaks are still there.
 They're of the form: #13;. If process the document through FOP (the
 contents are displayed in table cells), Acrobat seems to ignore the
 line-breaks completely. 
 Does FOP strip away the  #13;? Or do I have to use another line-break
 character?

If the data is reparsed, the XML parser is oblieged to
normalize a CR (U+000D) to LF (U+000A) (if you write #13;
instead of putting a CR into the text you get a CR delivered
to FOP). If you are passing the data in-memory, FOP will see
the CR.
After this, linefeeds are possibly converted to spaces,
according to the value of linefeed-treatment in effect
  http://www.w3.org/TR/xsl/slice7.html#linefeed-treatment
and then white space is collapsed, controlled by the
values of white-space-treatment and white-space-collapse

If you want to have your line breaks preserved, you
should set linefeed-treatment to preserve. Unfortunately,
FOP doesn't implement this. You can set white-space-collapse
to false, which will not only keep runs of spaces but also
the linefeeds intact (which is actually a bug).
If you want to have white space collapsed, you can
- do this at a transformation level
- use a transformation which transforms each run of characters
   between two line bbreaks into a separate fo:block
- translate the CR to #x2028; (Unicode LINE SEPARATOR) which
   is apparently treated specially

2002-06-24 Thread Markus Wiese



you might also try something like:

xsl:template 
match="[EMAIL PROTECTED]|[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
 !-- do your operation here 
--
/xsl:template

the brackets "perform" the test. the "|" serves as 
logical OR,
but to make sure your XML definitly contains the 
node with
some attribute, put some definition in your 
DTD.

Weird behaviour of Apache fop

2002-06-24 Thread Michiel Verhoef
Hi all,

Currently we have a weird problem: when converting an XML file (or rather,
an XML-ified HML source) to a FO file and 
converting this resulting FO file to a PDF all things are fine. However,
when we try to convert the XML with the exact 
same XSL script into a PDF we get errors:

[INFO]: FOP 0.20.3
[INFO]: building formatting object tree
[INFO]: Parsing of document complete, stopping renderer
[INFO]: Parsing of document complete, stopping renderer
[ERROR]: / by zero

As we use the same XML and XSL in both cases we're a bit confused here.

Please find attached the XML and XSL we used. We're using fop version 0.20.3
on w2k.

Anybody got a clue as what might go wrong here?

Thanks in advance,


Michiel

Re: Weird behaviour of Apache fop

2002-06-24 Thread Oleg Tkachenko
Your xsl stylesheet is so bizarre... What are you using all these CDATA 
sections for? Why are you using
![CDATA[fo:block/fo:block]]
instead of just
fo:block/fo:block ?
Actually your xsl stylesheet works if and only if transformation result (fo 
document) is serialized and then reparsed again, because what are you creating 
by all these CDATA sections are not elements, but text nodes, as it's 
*character data*, not elements. And text output method - that's all kind of 
disable-output-escaping stuff, which is optional by xslt spec and have no 
chance to work in a streaming environment, like fop or cocoon or mozilla, when 
 transformation result is never serialized/reparsed again. Try to change you 
stylesheet to be more usual transformation, you don't need these CDATA and 
text output method to create xml tree.

Well, that was another thing. I used to write simply fo:block etc.
but then the stylesheet gave loads of errors. 

the funny thing is: this is the first time I actually ran into this sort of
problem
(i've been using fop for over a year now) so I was really stupified.

I'll change the stylesheet the way you suggested and see what happens
(although that's how I started out)

What is exactly the error? Apostrophe is not an illegal character at all, but 
as it's used in xml markup to delimit attribute values, it's kinda special.
And you don't need numeric entity reference, because apos; is predefined 
entity. See xml spec for more details:

Why the reluctance to use tables?  Is it a design issue, speed issue,
technical issue?  Generally, tables are the textbook answer to this kind of
question.  If your specific project has requirements that make tables
inappropriate, there may be other solutions.

Re: fo:marker - how to show the broken secion on the next page

2002-06-24 Thread Chuck Paussa
Argyn,
(This is a work-around until markers are fixed.) What you need to do is 
put one marker at the beginning of the block and another at the end. FOP 
complains about this with a warning but still processes it. You can then 
use fo:retrieve-marker retrieve-class-name=className 
retrieve-position=first-including-carryover/

I tried different bounadries and positions, but none of them works. It shows
me the block which was started on the page, it doesn't see the block which
was started on the previous page
Need some help.

Re: What kind of TIFF does FOP support

In fact the first tests I've done seem to indicate the contrary :
my uncompressed file is a black area and my CCITT Gr4 or 3, and LWZ
compressed files
are well rendered.
It's bizarre, isn'it ?
What about jimy ? where can I find doc on it ?
Ok, here it goes.
The Jimi home page is
 http://java.sun.com/products/jimi/
You can download the whole package there, including
Source, JavaDoc and, most valuable, additional docs
describing supported file and image formats.
For TIFF, the following compression schemes are supported
  - Uncompressed images
  - CCITT compressed Bi-level images with CCITT RLE, CCITT
Group 3 1D Fax, CCITT Group 3 2D Fax, CCITT Group 4 Fax
  - CCITT Class F Fax
  - Packbits compressed images (a simple RLE type compression)
  - LZW Compressed images
JPEG compression is not supported.
The TIFF spec is available from
 http://partners.adobe.com/asn/developer/PDFS/TN/TIFF6.pdf
Compression schemes are
  Packbits: run length encoding (Sec. 9)
  CCITT G3 Fax (Sec. 10)
  CCITT Bilevel (Sec. 11)
  LZW (Sec. 13)
  JPEG (Sec. 22)
CCITT Class F compression is apparently defined in a RFC,
for example available here:
 http://www.zvon.org/tmRFC/RFC2306/Output/chapter3.html
It is also mentioned that Jimi does only understand
black and white (bilevel), grayscale (palette) and RGB
(palette and direct color). CMYK, Cie L*a*b* and YCbCr
color models are not implemented.
It is not mentioned whether compression predictors are
supported, I supposed not (does anybody use them?). It is
also not explicitely noted how Jimi deals with alpha
channels.
If uncompressed TIFF comes out black, probably the color
model or palette size is inconvenient for Jimi.

Re: Why changes encoding of Symbol font ?

 Helllo ,
Could somone tell why does Fop v.0.23 change the encoding of the Symbol Font

Where did you get the 0.23 version?
Seriously: Because it was not conforming to the standard.
Many Symbol characters becomes so invalid with this version wherase they are
valid in the version 0.21.
Is there any workaround ?
FOP used native encoding. Now it uses Unicode encoding, as
it should. Look up the Unicode codepoints to use for example
at the Unicode consortium
 http://www.unicode.org/charts/charindex.html
or run docs/examples/fo/fonts.fo through FOP, choose the glyph
and look up the corresponding character reference in the FO
source.

Memory usage w/ FOP

2002-06-24 Thread Philip S. Constantinou
Hi -
If I'm using an XSL Transformer and an XML ByteArrayOutputStream to create a
FO formatted document which is rendered as PDF or printed, what is a good
assumption to make about the memory utilization? Is the entire merged FO
document stored in memory or can the FO processor stream out the PDF or
printed page?

Are there any good rules of thumb?

Thanks -
Phil

I'm not sure where the XML ByteArrayOutputStream
comes into play.
As for FOP itself: the processor has limited capabilities
for streaming, it also depends on the layout.
FOP starts reading the FO into an internal tree. After
the end of a page sequence, it starts rendering pages,
which can use a huge amount of memory. If you use forward
references to page numbers (like page X of N), every
page from the reference on is held in memory until the
element the reference points to is rendered. Elements
spanning multiple pages, in particular tables, are also
held in memory at least until the page it ends is completed.
Large images are also known as memory hogs.
Some rules of thumb (roughly in this order)
- Don't use forward references. Put TOCs at the end.
- Use multiple page sequences.
- Avoid large images, scale them before feeding them to
  FOP (unless print quality matters). For some formats,
  in particular JPEG, the file size matters, not the
  height*width, therefore choosing a higher compression
  can help.
- Avoid large tables spanning multiple pages, use multiple
  tables instead.

This really helps...
One of the things that I need to do is a mail merge creating thousands of
one page letters. If the pages are simple with no table of
contents/references/page numbers. Is it safe to assume that the FO processor
will use roughly the same memory printing 10 letters as 1000?

It would be very hard to optimize momery consuption
for one page documents. Apart from this, it depends
whether you do it in parallel or sequentially. In
case of the latter, FOP should always consume the
same amount of memory if the documents are similar
enough, regardless of complexity. If you do it in
parallel, be prepared that 1000 parallel runs use
100 times the memory of 10 parallel runs.
