This works great when the element that needs the change bar is not nested in an element that has a left margin.

The p that is out of the note works well, however in the note does not. The Note is just one example of an ancestor block that effects the margins there are many others so I dont want to create a template match for note/p Thanks,David Date: Tue, 18 Jun 2013 07:33:37 -0700 From: ml-node+s1065347n38720...@n5.nabble.com To: drev...@hotmail.com Subject: RE: Implementing Change bars the outer most fo:block...

Re: Implementing Change bars
Hello, just a short status / question update. I have added the fo:change-bar-begin/end elements with their properties. Validation is also implemented, but: - In contrast to the other fo: elements, the change-bar-* elements are allowed to occur everywhere, as long as they have an fo:flow or fo:static-content ancestor. All the elements do their content validation via validateChildNode() (e.g. Block.java in o.a.fop.fo.flow). As I didn't want to add acceptance of change-bar-* children to all fo: elements under o.a.fop.fo.flow, I added to FNode.java a validateChildNodeGlobal() function that performs the global check for change-bar-* children and then calls validateChildNode() to perform the local check for each element. in FOTreeBuilder.java this is then called instead of validateChildNode(). The version of validateChildNodeGlobal() applicable for change bars is added in FObj.java Validation of the stacking constraints of change-bar-begin and -end are also done. Error messages and codes for validation errors are also already added. What remains is layout and producing the change bar areas. If I read the spec right, the intended semantics of the change-bar-elements is the following: - for all elements generating areas that are under the influence of a change bar, add fixed areas as tall as the generated areas and placed beside the column of that area as given by the change bar properties. - being under the influence of a change bar is defined by the file order of elements in the input. I.e., any element between a change-bar-start and corresponding change-bar-end (same class) is influenced by that change bar. For me, that means that an element can be under the influence of multiple change bars, naturally. My idea is now along the following lines: - Remember for each element during parsing the change bars it is influenced by. - After layout, go over all areas produced by those influenced elements and add the areas for the change bars (thus, only an area with proper border attributes). Can this be realizes in such a way in FOP? I appreciate any comments and suggestions! I will be able to produce a first diff of my code this weekend. Best regards... Stephan - retrieving the start- and end locations of the bars during layout (org.apache.fop.layoutmgr) - creating the appropriate areas (will probably have to be done in o.a.f.layoutmgr.PageSequenceLayoutManager) That should be enough to get you started.

Why would we want to write specific code? Don't know precisely. I don't even know whether it is possible in the current setup to paint a border only on a small part of an area... Could be interesting for reasons of efficiency, maybe (long shot?) As another example: for text/character data, the Rec literally states that each individual character is a fo:character in the FO Tree. If we would have implemented it like that, FOP would be even more of a memory-hog than it already is. Strictly speaking, our handling of FOText can be considered such 'specific code'.

Not really, but I did have a closer look at some of the requirements in the XSL-FO Rec. a while ago, and in my local sandbox, I seem to have already created the FObj subclasses at that point, too... :) Not very much help, but I can send them to you, if you like. Good thing is that there is relatively little work on the property side. No properties requiring special validation, and the symbolic literals for all the new enums (o.a.fop.fo.Constants.EN_xx) and properties (PR_xx) have already been committed to Trunk a while back. Only FOPropertyMapping needs to be updated to map the additional property constants to an appropriate Maker. One thing in particular I remember are the validation rules, which could turn out to be tricky to implement, since the change-bars actually form a (possibly nested) structure 'outside' the well-formed XML tree. It even seems possible (IIRC?) for a change-bar-begin to appear in one page-sequence, and its corresponding change-bar-end in the next... It will require a sort of stack to keep track of the last change-bar- begin (in FOEventHandler, or maybe it belongs more in FOTreeBuilderContext?), and it is important that this is not cleared after the layout for the page-sequence ends. For the rest, it could turn out to be pretty straightforward, since it does not really /affect/ layout. As Vincent already pointed out, it will need to /involve/ layout though, as we would somehow need to mark that the ancestor flow area (page or column) needs to be decorated at the start/end side, starting at a given position in the column/page. No real areas need to be generated, IIC. At most dummy areas, since the change bars are actually no more than additional borders.

Re: Implementing Change bars
Hi Stephan, to my knowledge there's noone currently working on that. If you look in the archives, you'll see that there's precious little discussion about change bars: http://fop-dev.markmail.org/search/?q=%22change%20bars%22 I haven't looked into change bars, yet, so I can't really offer any advice right now. Maybe another committer has more. At any rate, any help improving FOP is highly appreciated.

Re: Implementing Change bars
Hi Stephan, Welcome! You should subscribe to the fop-dev mailing list if you haven’t already. http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/dev/index.html#mail-fop-dev Any implementation details shall be discussed there. The following page may be helpful to set up your development environment: http://wiki.apache.org/xmlgraphics-fop/FOPIDESetupGuide The first step would be to study the part of the Recommendation about change bars: http://www.w3.org/TR/xsl11/#fo_change-bar-begin http://www.w3.org/TR/xsl11/#fo_change-bar-end Change bars are also mentioned in the description of the fo:page-sequence element: http://www.w3.org/TR/xsl11/#fo_page-sequence Be sure to really understand how and where change bars should be rendered. The Recommendation often proves to more subtle than you may think after a first reading. I’d suggest to gather thoughts on a wiki page on the FOP development area, with illustrations of a few cases (one-column, multiple-column documents, etc.). http://wiki.apache.org/xmlgraphics-fop/DeveloperPages On the implementation side, there are basically 3 steps I think: - validation at the FO tree level (org.apache.fop.fo package and sub-packages) - retrieving the start- and end locations of the bars during layout (org.apache.fop.layoutmgr) - creating the appropriate areas (will probably have to be done in o.a.f.layoutmgr.PageSequenceLayoutManager) That should be enough to get you started. If you have any question, see you on fop-dev! Vincent Jeremias Maerki wrote: Hi Stephan, to my knowledge there's noone currently working on that.
