headers for tables and chapters spanning on two or more pages
1. suppose I have a table. If this table continues on the next page, I want its column names be in the header of the second page. What's the best way to do it? 2. general issue: suppose I'm printing a report. It's content is an XML file, where element contains rows, and every row has children, such as columns or nested rowsets. I put every row in a . Inside the block I may have blocks for row content, tables for nested rowsets, etc. That works fine, but I've a requirement: if the row takes more than one page, then I've to show it's title in the page header. a) What's the best approach to achieve it? b) is it better approach to put the whole report into one table element? thanks, Argyn

I found the solution, I don't know how it is: I make a table for every row element, then nested rowsets go into the nested table within the same cell. It does the job. thanks, Argyn
templates for tables: to generate custom tables from the generic template
The idea: to have specific.xsl and generic.xsl file. specific.xsl has templates to convert XML into xsl:fo file using templates from generic.xsl example: bla-bla di-da this will be converted into with two columns and column names "Column One" and "Column Two". I want this to be done from specific.xsl by calling a template from generic.xsl. So, the template from generic.xsl will somehow get the column names and maybe widths. Then it will create element with cells, headers etc. So, to change the style of tables, like colors etc., I'll only need to change one file generic.xsl, not every specific.xsl Any ideas how to this in the best manner? I see the generic.xsl with templates which have sort of call-backs to specific.xsl. thanx, Argyn

RE: step-by-step instructions how to print Chinese in PDF?
Thank you, guys! Now it works. The problem was stupid and simple: mismatch in font names, file names and templates. Now I have another issue: unless I put full file path of font description xml (like "c:/temp/msmincho.xml"), FOP cannot find it. I thought that baseDir in userconfig.xml must set the folder to search for fonts, but it doesn't. What's the directory for FOP to search for files? Argyn -Original Message- From: Peter B. West [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, May 10, 2002 7:50 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: step-by-step instructions how to print Chinese in PDF? Argyn, This is a stab in the dark, but I am surprised to see "Arial" associated with an ideographic font. If the font information tells you that Arial is present, then what I suspect is that the font bundles Arial with its ideographic font(s) so that the users have the resources to process both Western and ideographic text. The other suspicious note in this is the use of serif and sans-serif. These terms have a very specific meaning in Western fonts, but I cannot see any application for them in an ideographic font. Bottom line is that when you specify "Arial" or "sans-serif" you are specifying a non-ideographic font, so it is not surprising that you are not seeing any ideographic characters. What other font-names are available to you in msmincho.ttc? Mincho? If so, try that in your userconfig, and forget the "family" until you find out what a meaningful "family" value would be for an ideographic font.

performance problem renedering nested fo-tables
Problem: I have to generate a PDF document/report from the database tables. The content has a tree-like structure. There's a master resultset, e.g. Organizations, with several fields. This may contain nested sub-resultsets for every Organization, e.g. Departments, Affiliates, etc. These sub-resultsets also may have nested resultsets, and so on. The tree is not very deep (3-4 layers). So, the resulting PDF has sections for every Organization, inside it has subsections for Departments, Affiliates and so on. Like chapters and sections of a book. When section doesn't fit the page, on the next page's header there must be a section name repeated. So, if Affiliate breaks on the page end, then on the next page header there'll be: "Organization name", "Affiliate name", i.e. its each parent sections' names too. I found one way to do it with XSL-FO: there's a main fo-table(TM) with one column. Every row's the only cell contains a fo-table(T1), with header "Oraganization name". This T1 table's rows contain three blocks, one block is for Organization's fields, the other two blocks are for Departments and Affiliates, which are also fo-tables. This way whenever the section is broken into pages, the fo-tables' headers will appear on the next page for every broken section. E.g. when T1 breakes on page end, TM's and T1's headers will by rendered on the next page. This works fine rendering what I want. The issue is with performance. XSL-FO generation takes 3 seconds. PDF generation takes more than 15 seconds. So, FOP part is a bottleneck. I strongly suspect that these many embedded tables and blocks are causing troubles to FOP. I may be wrong though. I see two options: one is to change FOP to something else (renderex?), the other one is to change the structure of XSL-FO document. I'm going to work on the problem these days, since it appears that performance is going to be the main concern for customers. So, I'll appreciate any advises very much. thanks, Argyn

addition to a previous message: I'm using FOP 0.20.3 with Cocoon 2.0.1. As I already stated, time to generate XSL-FO and serialize it to view in the browser is under 3 sec. Full time to generate PDF is about 15 seconds.

RE: performance problem renedering nested fo-tables
Do u know any other ways besides nested tables to achieve the same goal? my goal is whenever the nested section brakes at the page end to have continuing headers on the next page. So, Right now for one nested table I've this: fo:table - with one cell - this is for one "root" table, or a chapter of the book. so, the chapter title will be on every continuing page. fo:table-row fo:table with one cell - this wraps every row of the "root" table, or a section of the chapter, so when it breakes, its title on the next page fo:table-row fo:block - this contains the content of the row, e.g. coulmn listed as bullet items fo:block - this contains the nested tables, or sub-section of a chapter fo:table with few cells - this is for the nested table, or for a sub-section of the section, so when it breakes, its title is on the next page fo:table-row - every row contains one row of the sub-section, e.g. tabular view of columns of the fo:block - this contains one more nested tables, or sub-section of a chapter fo:table with few cells - this is for the nested table, or for a sub-section of the section, so when it breakes, its title is on the next page fo:table-row - every row contains one row of the sub-section, e.g. tabular view of columns of the row ... AND SO ON, there can be any number of nested tables further I don't know how to get rid of these all nested tables yet. When I tried to profile FOP, I've seen that one class takes large amount of time to process, it's FOTreeBuilder.endElement() Argyn > -Original Message- > From: Hahn Kurt (CHA) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Friday, June 21, 2002 2:34 AM > To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' > Subject: RE: performance problem renedering nested fo-tables > > > Oops.
