Hi,

I am hoping if someone can provide some guidance on fox:continued- label in FOP 0.94. Is this supported? If not what is the possible work arounds?

Thanks for the guidance.

Answer, according to this page: http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/ 0.94/extensions.html, is no.

And based on the release notes, ditto 0.95a.

... and, might I add, in the future it will never be re-implemented as it was in 0.20.5


The general (pretty poor) work around is to use markers. See here:

http://www.dpawson.co.uk/xsl/sect3/markers.html#d14055e100

What FOP really needs for this to work, is an implementation for XSL 1.1's fo:table-retrieve-marker. You would put those in the fo:table- header or fo:table-footer. The fo:markers would be placed as described. Since the retrieve-boundary only extends to the containing fo:table, the earlier mentioned issue of two tables ending up on the same page is eliminated. I've already been assessing what we'd need to do for that, so it will get there eventually. The element is already implemented in my local- sandbox, but I thought it would be pointless to commit without a backing implementation in the layout code.

If there are any volunteers to take this on, I'd be glad to give them some pointers. As I see it, much of the marker-infrastructure we currently have in place can be re-used/extended, so it's definitely not something that needs to implemented from scratch.


Cheers

Andreas
