In addition to that I already hat a closer look to the rtf results, which are heavily under construction. For all my tests I use docbook sources and 1.68.1 xml-stylesheets, create FOs from and run fop 0.91beta. Tables got a serious problem with the block structure. Above the table there are indents (il960) to move all paragraphs a bit to the right, makes space for headings. Before opening a table, these indents won't be reset, so all table columns are indented like paragraphs. 960 in RTF-terms (A4 page, 217mm, 1in margin left&right) means about 20mm, a table with columns less than 2.5times the indent looks very strange, the letters stick to the right border of their column. And I couldn't transform a FO with images, everytime there was a RuntimeException with this PercentageContext-message (even after removing all the % and proportional settings as well as auto-sizing). Tomorrow I'll have some further investigations, determining which part of the FO causes which RTF-block (there are some twice and even three times, absolutely identical AND empty!). When I know this, I'll have a look at the sources. If others work on that code: I wrote two perl scripts transforming fox:outlines and proportional values (faster than applying a stylesheet with xalan, even on HP-UX) - I could share them. To draw a conclusion: maybe on tuesday there'll be the first enhanced RTF classes (monday's holiday 'round here) but surely I'll write 1-2pages about RTF flaws until then. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
