RE: special characters - Unicode

[Matthias Fischer]

An alternative would be to format the item label as "Symbol" and to assign
it the value · :

<fo:list-item>
        <fo:list-item-label >
                <fo:block start-indent="0.0mm">
                        <fo:inline font-family="Symbol">&#183;</fo:inline>
                </fo:block>
        </fo:list-item-label>
        <fo:list-item-body>
                <fo:block start-indent="7.5mm">
                        <fo:inline>
                                <xsl:apply-templates/>
                        </fo:inline>
                </fo:block>
        </fo:list-item-body>
</fo:list-item>

Q u e s t i o n :   I tried Vladimir's solution and, of course, it works. I
tried other Unicode value, but I got always # as a result. Does anybody know
of any restrictions to Unicode in FOP?

Hi Matt,

Here's how I usually use bullet points:

                        <fo:list-block
provisional-distance-between-starts="12pt">
                                <fo:list-item><fo:list-item-label
end-indent="label-end()"><fo:block>&#x2022;</fo:block></fo:list-item-label>
                                        <fo:list-item-body
start-indent="body-start()"><fo:block>SOME BULLET POINT TEXT IN
HERE</fo:block></fo:list-item-body>
                                </fo:list-item>
                        </fo:list-block>

As you can see from the example all you need to do to create a bullet point
is to use &#x2022; in the place where you want it to appear. Hope this
helps,

Vlad
