Anything for a non-programmer to do?

2002-05-01 Thread Matthew Huggett



Hi:

Is there anything that a non-programmer 
can do to help the FOP project? I'm a technical writer. Is there anything 
involving documentation that needs to be done?

Hi Ricardo:

Regarding references for FO elements and attributes.  I guess you have
already checked the W3C recommendation?  The pdf version has an easy
bookmark to a FO properties summary.  If you check the xml cover pages site
http://xml.coverpages.org/ there might be something else.  I know theres a
company selling quick references for xml,xsl, ecma script, etc. ($5 US each)
but I can't remember the URL.

 Hi all,

 Firstly I want to apologise in advance for asking many questions. :) It
has
 been some time since I used fop and fo (I think the last version i used
was
 0.17..)

 1. Is there another way to use absolute positioning without using the
 fo:block-container tag. With the text I have I don't have any
width/height
 variables available. It does work with the fo:block tag.
 2. Is there a way to specify the orientation for each individual page.

 Lastly I would appreciate any online references regarding fo
 elements/attributes.

 Thanks in advance.
