Hi Jeremias, I have errors with the layoutengine test files, for example:
text-decoration1.xml(org.apache.fop.layoutengine.LayoutEngineTestSuite$1)java.lang.RuntimeException: Expected XPath expression to evaluate to 'line-through', but got 'li' (XPath: //flow/block[3]/lineArea/inlineparent[1]/text) This is due to the fact that the text may be split over more than one text area. Indeed, whether I get the error depends on which parser version I use; different parsers may produce different arrangements of text over text areas. If you change the test to: <eval expected="line-through" xpath="//flow/block[3]/lineArea/inlineparent[1]"/> the error disappears. I think XObject.str() applies the XPath string function, which returns the string-value of the first node. If you evaluate the parent node 'inlineparent', you get the string-value of all of its children, which is usually what you want to have. There are many such cases in the test files. I think you should modify all cases where you test on the content of a text area. Regards, Simon -- Simon Pepping home page: http://www.leverkruid.nl
