Despite Stephan's response, any pointers regarding a possible two-pass workaround is still valuable in case the patch proves insufficient.
I noticed in the list archives that it was once mentioned that attributes not in the fo namespace are passed on to the AT or IF. Is that still correct? In that case, I might just be able to pull off the idea I mentioned in my original e-mail. I'll try it out at work during the week. /F -----Original Message----- From: Stephan Thesing [mailto:thes...@gmx.de] Sent: Sunday, May 01, 2011 11:45 PM To: fop-users@xmlgraphics.apache.org Subject: Re: Change bars Hello, I made a patch for change-bars a while back. See Bugzilla PR 48548 https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=48548 for a patch against /trunk from around March. May or may not apply today. As soon as I get my Linux machine to boot again, I could produce another patch against a more recent /trunk.
