RE: Why is FO(P) a superior model than what most proprietary too ls propose
I would also be interested in understanding more on the viability of FOP as a reporting tool. What are people's thought on this?

More needs to be written on how to use Cocoon and FOP as a true report writer. Any help would be great. I'm currently working with Corda in hopes that they will change the SVG format to inlining so that it can be easy used with FOP. If any of you would like to talk to them about this that would be great.

I think this is crucial. I found nothing of the sort. There was recently an announcement on the cocoon list that a major NASA site (KSC, i believe) is being redesigned using Cocoon 2 (includes FOP) and will going online soon. Perhaps some details regarding FOP usage there could be asked for. Apart from this, for my job I found XSLFO superior to the various proprietary reporting tools (rather expensive stuff). It's just me, though. J.Pietschmann
Tables row data is being split between multiple pages
I have built a multipage document that has a table in the body. In each row there is one table cell that is comprised of 4 fo blocks. Depending on how the header and footer are set and the number of line items present (the repeating element) there is a situation occuring where if the end of the body is reached and the end of the row has not been reached then that row will be split. That one thicker cell is where the split occurs. Depending on how much room is left that cell's blocks (4) are split between the pages. Is there someway that I can force the splitting of the table to happen on complete row boundaries and not split up a cell? Thanks, Erich Kilmer
How to get table to flow from first page squence to the next page sequence?
I am trying to design an article using FOP and could use some help in its layout. The document in an invoice. The first page has a large header and footer with various invoice data. In the body or content section of the first page I want to have a table that contains line item data in each row. Because the first page has used up so much space in its header and footer there is only room for about 2-3 rows of line item data. On subsequent pages I would like to carryover the line item table. How can I get the line item table flow to start on the first page and then continue on subsequent pages? Thanks, Erich Kilmer

Hello, I am trying to get this style sheet to render using FOP but the error it is throwing is fairly vague. Can anyone advise me how I can debug this?

I got it. I changed the master-name attribute to master-reference inside the fo:conditional-page-master-reference tags and it renders properly. -Original Message- From: Kilmer, Erich [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, April 17, 2002 3:57 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: Help with [ERROR]: null Hello, I am trying to get this style sheet to render using FOP but the error it is throwing is fairly vague.
