Dear FOP-DEV, I'm using FOP to create a PDF version of an XML document. I've been using it for a few months, and have recently upgraded to version 0.20.1. I have come across various things that could be mistakes on my part or possibly problems with FOP. Any suggestions as to what is going on would be much appreciated. A couple of example FO files illustrating these issues follow.
(1) text-decoration="underline" works on fo:inline but not on fo:block. If I write <fo:block text-decoration="underline">, shouldn't the entire contents of the block be underlined? (2) background-color="blue" works on fo:block but not on fo:inline. If I write <fo:inline background-color="blue">, shouldn't the contents of the inline be given a blue background? (3) A block containing a single long word is not hyphenated - why not? (4) Possibly related, a block containing a single long word with whitespace before and after causes a run-time error! (5) An <fo:instream-foreign-object> containing an SVG doesn't seem to get the correct height from the SVG. (6) SVG containing stroke-dasharray="0.2" creates bad PDF; acroread complains about "bad dash parameters". It may be that all values less than 1 fail. Here's some FO that illustrates these points: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <fo:root xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format";> <fo:layout-master-set> <fo:simple-page-master margin-right="25mm" margin-left="25mm" margin-bottom="20mm" margin-top="15mm" page-height="297mm" page-width="210mm" master-name="a4"> <fo:region-before extent="10mm"/> <fo:region-after extent="10mm"/> <fo:region-body margin-bottom="15mm" margin-top="15mm"/> </fo:simple-page-master> </fo:layout-master-set> <fo:page-sequence master-name="a4"> <fo:flow flow-name="xsl-region-body"> <fo:block> <fo:inline text-decoration="underline"> This will be underlined because the text-decoration is set on the inline element. </fo:inline> </fo:block> <fo:block text-decoration="underline"> This will not be underlined even though a text-decoration is set on the block element.

I have one other problem at the moment which I have not yet narrowed down to a simple test case, but if anyone can guess what's going on from the following error message that would be very helpful: javax.xml.transform.TransformerException at org.apache.xalan.transformer.TransformerImpl.transformNode(TransformerImpl.java:1212) at org.apache.xalan.transformer.TransformerImpl.run(TransformerImpl.java:2894) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:484) --------- java.lang.NullPointerException at org.apache.fop.fo.flow.TableRow.initCellArray(TableRow.java:486) at org.apache.fop.fo.flow.TableRow.layout(TableRow.java:262) at org.apache.fop.fo.flow.Block.layout(Block.java:260) at org.apache.fop.fo.flow.Flow.layout(Flow.java:150) at org.apache.fop.fo.flow.Flow.layout(Flow.java:109) at org.apache.fop.fo.pagination.PageSequence.format(PageSequence.java:295) at org.apache.fop.apps.StreamRenderer.render(StreamRenderer.java:166) at org.apache.fop.fo.FOTreeBuilder.endElement(FOTreeBuilder.java:155) at org.apache.xalan.transformer.ResultTreeHandler.endElement(ResultTreeHandler.java:284) at org.apache.xalan.templates.ElemLiteralResult.execute(ElemLiteralResult.java:749) at org.apache.xalan.templates.ElemForEach.transformSelectedNodes(ElemForEach.java:495) at org.apache.xalan.templates.ElemApplyTemplates.execute(ElemApplyTemplates.java:193) at org.apache.xalan.transformer.TransformerImpl.executeChildTemplates(TransformerImpl.java:2154) at org.apache.xalan.transformer.TransformerImpl.executeChildTemplates(TransformerImpl.java:2097) at org.apache.xalan.transformer.TransformerImpl.applyTemplateToNode(TransformerImpl.java:2029) at org.apache.xalan.transformer.TransformerImpl.transformNode(TransformerImpl.java:1189) at org.apache.xalan.transformer.TransformerImpl.run(TransformerImpl.java:2894) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:484) ERROR: null I am using FOP 0.20.1, but I have substituted Batik 1.1 for the 1.0 that is supplied with FOP.
