Seifeddine Dridi commented on FOP-2293: --------------------------------------- {quote} I don't see a need to remove it, but rather to have it simply pass the areas generated by the selected case along to its parent. {quote} The problem occurs exactly at the layout stage, when *_getNextKnuthElements()_* is called for the inline content. I did a quick debugging session and it seems that the *_InlineLayoutManager_* expects the parent alignment context to be set in *_LayoutContext_*. And setting that requires some low level knowledge (line height, font, bpd, etc...) that cannot be retrieved easily. > Whitespace management extension > ------------------------------- > > Key: FOP-2293 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FOP-2293 > Project: Fop > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: general > Affects Versions: trunk > Reporter: Seifeddine Dridi > Priority: Minor > Labels: XSL-FO > Fix For: trunk > > Attachments: bestfit.fo, doc.pdf, FO_multi-switch_test.fo, > FO_multi-switch_with_best-fit_extension.patch, multiple-feasible-nodes.fo, > multi-switch_bestfit.fo, patch.patch, patch-rev1.1.patch, patch-rev1.patch, > patch-rev2.patch > > > I have been working on an extension for whitespace management, similar to > what's described here: > http://wiki.apache.org/xmlgraphics-fop/WhitespaceManagement > The logic of the extension is very simple: the user defines a set of > alternatives that he wishes to insert at the end of a page, then if there is > enough space left, FOP will pick the alternative that best matches the user's > selection criteria (first fit, smallest fit, biggest fit). > This is my first work on FOP and it took me almost 2 months to reach this > stage in development. But it's not the end of course, so I'm relying on your > feedback to improve it. > Thank you -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.1#6144)
