Hi Jeremias, Thanks for the info. I tried inserting some docbook elements such as <?dbfo-need height="2in" ?> and <?dbfo keep-together="auto" ?>. The first is supposed to put in a page break if the "2in" condition is met (that is less than 2 inches remain before the end of the page). The second element is supposed to relax the keep-together property so that the procedure can be broken. Neither appear to work for me. Should I take my problem to the docbook mailing list?
Here is the docbook 5.0 article (task/procedure) that I am trying to output to pdf using fop .91beta: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]:paul.20060217090820:@thin protocols/misc/test.xml--> <!--@@color--> <!--@@language html--> <!--@@nowrap--> <article xmlns="http://docbook.org/ns/docbook"; version="5.0" xml:lang="en"> <title>WaterJet Protocol</title> <!--@ << Task >>--> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]:paul.20060217093550:<< Task >>--> <task> <title>Drill or Cut Holes in Glass</title> <!--@ << Procedure >>--> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]:paul.20060217090820.2:<< Procedure >>--> <procedure> <step> <para>Presuming that you already have a file drawn in L-edit, you will need to convert only the needed information from .tdb format to .dxf format. At present, we have software that will do this conversion for holes only. There is also software in the Nanofab that will convert a .gds file into a .dxf file. This will work for both holes and polygons (for dicing lines). </para> </step> <step> <para>Save a copy of your L-edit design file with a new name. You should have the holes and lines to be cut drawn on a separate layer. Hide all layers except the one just mentioned and the one that shows the outline of your wafer/substrate (usually icon/outline). Move all the remaining objects so that the origin of the coordinate system is at the lower left hand corner of your substrate. Make sure that the mask that was made from this L-Edit file was printed chrome side down. If it was printed chrome side up, then your hole pattern will be a mirror about the vertical center line with respect to the patterned substrates. In this case, you will need to modify your drawing by mirroring it about the same axis. Note that the WaterJet software does not properly compensate for the actual hole diameter that will be drilled due to factors such as abrasive type, tube type, hole diameter, plate thicknesses and drill speed. Therefore, the hole size specified in the .dxf file needs to be smaller than the desired size. This size reduction depends on the factors listed above and is so far a matter of experience and trial and error. For drilling a single 1.1mm borofloat glass plate bonded with a 0.5 mm 0211 glass plate, and a desired hole diameter of 2 mm, medium abrasive, medium-low power/pressure (and other factors that the operator finds suitable), the specified diameter needs to be 1.1 or 1.15 mm. These parameters should also hold for drilling similar holes in 1.1 mm borofloat plates bonded together with 2mm thick plate glass. The above is just for your information, always get the proper specification from Herb Dexel prior to to drilling, and check the diameter drilled on your first plate to make sure your first guess was suitable, adjust as required. </para> </step> <step> <para>Select all the holes and change the radius to reflect the needed reduction as given to you (see above). </para> </step> <step> <para>Select all objects (substrate outline, holes, cut lines) and select cell...flatten from the L-edit menu. Save the document. Select file...Export Mask Data...Cif and save the .cif file to a directory that you can easily find when you later use the ssh client to transfer it to gaea (one of our Linux servers). </para> </step> <step> <para> Open the ssh Secure Client Shell. Login to gaea. Navigate to: /home/Archive/Software/Students/paul/WaterJet/Code. There are two important files here: Cift and README. README contains the simple instructions on how to operate the software. Cift is the program that you run on gaea to convert the holes on your .cif drawing to holes on specified in a .dxf drawing. Move your .cif file to this directory (click on the new file transfer window icon to open the secure file transfer client). </para> </step> <step> <para> In the SSH secure shell, type ./Cift . This will start a the menu-driven program. Press 1, < Enter>. Type or paste in the file name of the .cif file you want to convert. Press < Enter>. Press < Enter> again. Press 3, < Enter>. This will write your file to output.dxf. Press < Enter> again. Press q, < Enter> to quit. </para> </step> <step> <para> Using the SSH Secure File Transfer client as before, move output.dxf back to the directory that contains the original .cif file. Open the .dxf file in an appropriate editor (Rhinoceros works). Make sure all the holes are there and make sure that the zero of your coordinate system is at the bottom left of the substrate. </para> </step> <step> <para> In this same editor, draw in any linear cuts that need to be made. Save the file and send a copy to the WaterJet operator via a 3.5” floppy. </para> </step> <step> <para> Using Crystalbond 590 (brown stick), bond one glass substrate to a sacrificial glass plate (usually cheap plate glass as thin as possible ~2mm). In the case of borofloat where you want to bond only the non-tin sides, make sure that you scribe the word 'Tin' on the side that is marked with a 'T' with permanent marker. Use a clean wipe and acetone to check which side of the glass this 'T' is written on. This 'T' should be removed and with acetone after 'Tin' has been scribed onto the tin side with a diamond scribe. Using a hot plate (preferably a digitally controlled one) set the temperature to 150 degrees C. Place aluminum foil onto the plate (so as not to dirty the hot plate) once this temperature has been reached. </para> </step> </procedure> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]:paul.20060217090820.2:<< Procedure >>--> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> </task> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]:paul.20060217093550:<< Task >>--> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> </article> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]:paul.20060217090820:@thin protocols/misc/test.xml--> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Thanks, Paul --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
