Tough stuff for XSL-FO, catalogs. I see multiple problems: Getting Block D at the bottom of the article. display-align="after" on the table-cell can help to a certain degree. Better: Setting block-progression-dimension.maximum="1.2em" on that cell should restrict that last row to one line, thus a

2009-02-03 Thread Jeremias Maerki
Right now, the AFP output just loads the configured bitmap and outline fonts for metrics but it requires that the same fonts are correctly set up on the target AFP viewer or printer. Even just registering the fonts for FOP is tricky enough. Doing that for every target environment is sometimes even

Oh, yes, I almost forgot: I'm removing the "dy" parameter for now since it's not supported anyway until we support different writing-modes. Doesn't make sense to keep that around until then. On 03.02.2009 11:10:03 Jeremias Maerki wrote: > I'm getting near to finishing my work on the new intermedia

Do you have a real-world example of what you're trying to build? I mean, your earlier picture suggests that most of the EEE content belongs to the CCC section. What is DDD? A sum at the end? I don't get how this fits together on a logical level. Maybe you could generate the DDD in a similar way as

I'm getting near to finishing my work on the new intermediate format. Logically, performance tests have to show whether the goals have been achieved. Generally, they have: - Rendering directly from the new intermediate is a lot faster than from the old area tree XML format. - The new intermediate f

Smells table-marker-ish to me. A block-container in the table-header (retrieved through retrieve-table-marker) could display the second "CCC" in the right position. The only problem: someone has to implement table markers first. But I think this would be better than to introduce yet another extens

Hello everybody, for my project I need one final feature: Table cell duplication. Imagine a Table like this: TH1 TH2 AAA EEE BBB EEE CCC EEE EEE EEE EEE DDD EEE Two columns, four rows, Block E spans all four rows, A aligns with the top of the table, B and C follow, D aligns with th
