Hi all, I'm using FOP to generate PDF and corresponding ASCII text output files. I'm using FOP to generate the corresponding ASCII output instead of just straight XSL because the reports I'm creating contain many tables with varying widths and columns. I also didn't want to have to worry about line breaking.
The ASCII text output is actually working quite nicely. Figuring out what font-family (Courier), font-size (7.3pt), and line-height (10.5pt) to use solved the problems I was having with missing spaces and sequential lines in the output overlaying one another. There is still one problem I need to solve - pagination. The text output files that I'm creating do not need pagination, since they are just one long virtual page. But FOP is inserting page breaks at the page boundries. Is there a way to tell FOP not to insert page breaks in text mode? I know I can solve the problem by creating a simple-page-master with an arbitrarily long page-height, and then do some post-processing on the generated output file. But I thought I'd see if there's a more elegant solution. If FOP cannot currently surpress page breaks in text mode, how hard would it be for me to add this functionality myself? Can anybody familiar with the ASCII renderer point me where to look?
