Thanks for the pointers. The intended meaning of un-"touched" was to say that no line-breaking or other processing takes place on the elements, just returning the element list. What is unclear to me is how I can get the element list for a specific table-cell. Here is what how I see things :

Just to make sure I understand things correctly, the element list construction needs to be seperated from the line breaking algorithm ONLY when using it for auto table layout ? I am asking this because the LineLayoutManager is not used exclusively by the TableLayoutManager, right ? If this is

Thank you Jeremias, I have already read your notes and I intend to split the element list construction and the line breaking right after I've implemented a working basic auto-table layout. This will allow me to have a better understanding of how things work before tackling a more delicate task.

Here are my notes on AutoTableLayout I collected last year in case you haven't seen them, yet. One of the more important parts will be to split up the element list construction and the line breaking in LineLayoutManager, because you can't do the line breaking as long as you don't know the available

Uh, no. I just wanted to point out that "auto" is not a valid value for column-width. What you probably meant was the case when the user doesn't specify the column-width property in which case the value is not "auto" but "proportional-column-width(1)" (see FOPropertyMapping). If that's correct and

Right, but strictly speaking the value "auto" is illegal for column-width. FOP currently defaults to "proportional-column-width(1)" if no value is specified. Another thing we should be careful about is the distinction between the value set for table-layout and the effective algorithm to be used. I
