Kim Haase closed DERBY-2471.
----------------------------
Resolution: Won't Fix
There is no need to make the suggested fix, because for accessibility reasons
no table cells are empty, as of DERBY-5154 (fixed for 10.8.1.2).
> Change xsl/xslfo/ditafo-calstable.xsl (fillit template) to remove ' from PDF
> tables that contain blank cells

> Key: DERBY-2471
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-2471
> Project: Derby
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Documentation
> Reporter: Laura Stewart
> Priority: Minor
>
> A blank cell in a DITA table appears blank in HTML but in PDF
> and apostrophe appears in the cell.
> I asked on the DITA users list and this is the response that I received:
> _________________________________________________________
> You are running into an old piece of code that used the apostrophe
> character to force early PDF processors to create rules for the empty
> cell.
> You will need to override xsl/xslfo/ditafo-calstable.xsl to revise this
> named template:
> <xsl:template name="fillit">
> <xsl:choose>
> <!-- test to see if the cell contains any sensible text or other
> element... -->
> <xsl:when test="not(text()[normalize-space(.)] | *)">
> <fo:inline>&rbl;'</fo:inline>
> </xsl:when>
> <xsl:otherwise>
> <xsl:apply-templates/>
> </xsl:otherwise>
> </xsl:choose>
> </xsl:template>
> If memory serves me correctly, this hack was specfically done to force
> cell
> border rendering for an early version of FOP. This code has not been
> tested
> against more current FO engines such as XEP or Antenna House. You might
> be
> able to remove the ' character alone and get perfectly good output
> thereafter.
> __________________________________________________________
> Replace the ' character with a blank character.
