Thanks Berin,
I had come to that conclusion after reading a bit more on the fop web site.
I have modified the stylesheet to automatically include fo:block. I still
have a problem with specifying column width using 'number*' format (it works
with '200pt', i.e. fixed size). It seems the stylesheet does not work for
proprtional values.
Also, do you know if fop supports <simple-link> (what <ulink> is transformed
into). Fop gives the following error :
[java] ERROR 10047 [fop ] (): Unknown formatting object
http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format^simple-link
Thanks for your help.
Do you know how to debug cocoon2 (see the text in my first post) ?
Cheers,
-Vincent
