I believe overflow="hidden" works on an fo:block-container. If you surround the contents of your table-cell with an fo:block-container text will truncated rather than overflowing into other columns.
Best Regards, Jonathan Levinson From: Dominik Stadler [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, August 12, 2010 2:36 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Why does overflow="hidden" not cut off the content? Hi, I am struggling to understand how overflow="hidden" works in FOP. When I read the description in the FO-standard [1], it states that overflow="hidden" causes text to be cut off when it overflows the region. Now when I try to use this in FOP 0.95 (same in 1.0) to get a clean table-layout in favour of displaying all data, I do not get what I expect, text is still overflowing both into other columns and also into the margin-right region. How do I stop FOP from doing that? Or is this a known Bug/Limitation in FOP? I know that I could add "invisible blanks" at certain places to make it wrap around here, however these are automatically generated XSL-FO files where I can not fully control the incoming data, so for some cases I would rather really actually cut off the data. The XSL-FO below shows my latest attempt. I get the following warnings when running FOP, which is expected here as things overflow. The attached test.pdf shows the result with fop-0.95, I am going to try fop-1.0 now. 12.08.2010 08:24:29 org.apache.fop.layoutmgr.inline.LineLayoutManager$LineBreakingAlgorithm updateData2 WARNUNG: Line 5 of a paragraph overflows the available area by more than 50 points.
