Dear Wiki user,

You have subscribed to a wiki page or wiki category on "Xmlgraphics-fop Wiki" 
for change notification.

The "ChangingIpdLimitations" page has been changed by ChrisBowditch:
https://wiki.apache.org/xmlgraphics-fop/ChangingIpdLimitations?action=diff&rev1=2&rev2=3

  
  Also, the space-before of the first element following the table or list will 
be discarded, as if the element were starting the page. The workaround is to 
set its space-before.conditionality component to retain.
  
+ == FOP Warning ==
+ 
+ {{{WARNING: Content that cannot handle IPD changes is flowing to a narrower 
page. Part of it may be clipped by the page border.}}}
+ 
+ = Paragraphs =
+ Paragraphs do change the width across the page.
+ 
+ [[attachment:fop-ipd-para.png]]
+ 
+ == Last Page ==
+ There is a limiation that changing IPD doesn't work in conjunction with 
page-position="last" So if the document has a fo:page-sequence-master with 
conditional alternatives and page-position="last" and the last page is a 
different width to preceeding pages then the width of the content is not 
adjusted. If page-position="last" is not used then the content on last page 
will be adjusted if the width changes.
+ 
+ = Performance Issues with change of page width in a page sequence. =
+ Each time you change the page width in a page sequence the FOP engine will 
recalculate the layout from that part.
+ 
+ e.g consider the following document in one page sequence (where [ ] indicates 
the page width and the number is the page number).
+ 
+ {{{
+ [1]
+ [2]
+ [3 ]
+ [4 ]
+ [5]
+ [6]}}}
+ 
+ == What Happens ==
+ 
+ In this document page sequence, FOP will work out the whole flow based on the 
width of page 1.
+ It will check if the page width changed in the flow, and it did at page 3, so 
it recalculates all of the pages from page 3 with page 3's width.
+ It will check if the page width changed in the flow from 3, and it did at 
page 5, so it recalculates all of the pages from page 5 with page 5's width.
+ As you can see this can be very expensive in CPU time if you change the page 
width inside a page-sequence, always use a a new page sequence for each width 
change if possible.
