Re: FO to PDF XSL tranformation

2002-03-19 Thread Libor Kramolis

Xalan is implementation of XSLT. Output format is XML, HTML or TEXT. If PDF 
is TEXT file, I can imagine XSLT script which can transform FO to PDF. Am I 
right? Therefore I am looking for such fo2pdf.xslt script. What do you 
think? Is it reasonable?

Then I can imagine DocBook to PDF transformation as sequence of two 
transformations: xxx.dbx  docbook2fo.xsl = xxx.fo  fo2pdf.xsl = xxx.pdf. 
Is not it nice?

Thanks for your comments.

 FOP is an implementation of part of the XSL spec - so is Xalan, but 
 different parts of the spec.
 Xalan converts XML to XML, and FOP converts XSL:FO (which is XML) to 
 other formats which usually are not XML. They are both written in Java 
 because the authors like Java :-)
 
 Does that help explain things?

 I am able to create XSL for normal transformations to  HTML just fine. But in

Such changes should not be necessary.

In what sense does XSLFO not work? What are the exact symptoms?
Do you get an error message or unexpected results? Is the problem
caused by the transformation or during formatting? Did you inspect
the intermediate FO? Can you show the relevant parts of your XSLT
and source XML (please trim the files down to the problematic parts)?

XSLT questions are better asked on the XSL list

Yes, there is a way, read the spec at http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml,

Re: FO to PDF XSL tranformation

This is not possible. PDF can be a text format but is generally in binary.
It would be impossible to process most of the required things using xslt 
eg. images, markers, links, pagenumbers, layout, property resolving, 
footnotes, floats.
Whats left would be extremely complex.

Re: Triggering WH2FO from inside Word(R)

2002-03-19 Thread Enrico Schnepel

Hello Matthias,

I think it is a good idea to extend word with macros like this. The macro 
should be developed at least with word 97 for compatiblity and should be 
configureable that an other version or an other converter like html2fo runs 
to do the job. There should be an option for use htmltidy for preformating / 
correcting word 97 output.

RE: Triggering WH2FO from inside Word(R)

2002-03-19 Thread Giannetti, Fabio

Hi Enrico,
the problem with Word 97 is related to the fact that the produced
HTML doesn't contain all the extra information needed for the pagination and
flow control. So WH2FO will not be able to extract those information to
generate the correct page-masters and page-sequences.
I don't know anything about html2fo converter, but if someone is interested
to create a macro it will be usefull to have support for multiple tools.
Unfortunately I'm not a VBA expert :-)) so I must rely on someone

Re: development status

2002-03-19 Thread Keiron Liddle


I agree with the configuration in general but not with the cocoon concept.
The parts like configuration, logging, etc. could help us with the 
functionality and the architecture.

To serialize between the Area Tree and the Renderers there are some 
serious problems that would get in the way:
- in many cases the area tree will need to be complete before sending 
anything across, this defeats the whole purpose and will use a lot of 
memory
- embedded xml will need to be parsed twice and saxified
- how do we handle area tree extensions
- forward references for some renderers will mean that the renderer may 
also need to store the whole area tree (or part thereof) on the other side 
of the sax events
- the layout depends on the output target, for font information

On 2002.03.15 16:32 Nicola Ken Barozzi wrote:
 What bugs me in FOP currently (the famous itch to scratch ;-) , is what

 When this is in place, all the infrastructure is there, and we can
 concentrate on the real FOP code.

The problem is that the *real* FOP code significantly effects the way that 
the processing and caching works.

Keiron,

Could you sketch out the way font information is communicated to layout? 
 I had the vague notion that the renderers were obliged to provide font 
information at the configuration stage.  I hoped this would obviate any 
further communication between the layout process and the renderer.

  Dear 
  Joe,
  
  You 
  have opened a can of worms. See the last QA at:
  
   http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/xmlsdk/htm/xslt_starter_8f3o.asp
  
  which shows you how to make the transformation work with MSXML, but I'm 
  not sure the fragment identifier as namespace identifier ('#RowsetSchema') 
  will work with Xalan. The namespace issues that Microsoft have built 
  into their ADO persisted XML have sparked long and controversial discussions 
  among greater minds than ours. Perhaps it's time to move to 
  ADO.NET?
  
  You 
  say that you are "able to create XSL for normal transformations to HTML just 
  fine", but I assume that you are using MSXML as your XSLT engine (probably 
  through IE?). Try using any other XSLT engine and I'll wager your 
  "normal" transformation to HTML won't work.
  
  BTW, 
  is this really a question for fop-dev? Perhaps you aren't aware of the 
  [EMAIL PROTECTED]mailing 
  list... Even then, the issue really has little to do with fop, 
  being largely a general XSLT issue. That is, you would have the same 
  problem transforming ADO persisted XML to any schema, not just 
  XSL-FO.
  
  Still, happy to help initially.

That sounds very vague.
So what will you do if someone has a table of contents as the second page. 
Will you pass across a whole lot of to be resolved things for the page 
numbers to the renderer, so the renderer needs to do the resolving from 
some further information. Will the renderer go until it reaches a to be 
resolved thing then need to do some awkward processing of all the 
following pages.
It all sounds like an extra level of complexity that we really don't need. 
Rather than helping us it will simply make things more difficult.

  - embedded xml will need to be parsed twice and saxified
 
 Why twice?

May need to read it to get the width and height and do some pre-processing 
with a DOM.

 ATM, I don't have a clear list of all the things that need to be held
 back
 before resolution.
 Is there a list somewhere?
 It would be of great help for me.

Page references.
Internal links.
Retrieve Markers?
Extensions.

Hi Peter,

The font information is obtained from the renderer at the start before 
building any of the area tree.
There should be no further need for communication except of course in the 
case when handling dynamic effects (but lets not get into that right now).

 Keiron,
 
 Could you sketch out the way font information is communicated to layout? 
 I had the vague notion that the renderers were obliged to provide font

 further communication between the layout process and the renderer.

Re: Colon character problematic in xsl:template match=StringContainingColon ??

You are correct - I am using the 
MSXML parser. I only use the apache code for FO - PDF.By the way - it 
works really great - as long as I use this workaround.

I will follow your suggestion and use 
another engine to test the XSLT to html. If the problem is the same,then I 
agree that this is a problem topic that has no relevance on this list and I

Still - it seems to me that the

Dear Joe,

You have opened a can of worms. See the last QA 
at:

 http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/xmlsdk/htm/xslt_starter_8f3o.asp

which shows you how to make the transformation work with MSXML, but 
I'm not sure the fragment identifier as namespace identifier 
('#RowsetSchema') will work with Xalan. The namespace issues that 
Microsoft have built into their ADO persisted XML have sparked long and 
controversial discussions among greater minds than ours. Perhaps it's 
time to move to ADO.NET?

You say that you are "able to create XSL for normal transformations 
to HTML just fine", but I assume that you are using MSXML as your XSLT 
engine (probably through IE?). Try using any other XSLT engine and 
I'll wager your "normal" transformation to HTML won't 
work.

BTW, is this really a question for fop-dev? Perhaps you aren't 
aware of the [EMAIL PROTECTED]mailing 
list... Even then, the issue really has little to do with fop, 
being largely a general XSLT issue. That is, you would have the same 
problem transforming ADO persisted XML to any schema, not just 
XSL-FO.

Still, happy to help initially.

  It would be of great help for me.

Since propertiy resolution is basically inherited AFAIK, it seems that what
you specify is in fact what really breaks the nice SAX stuff.

 Page references.

Yes.

 Internal links.

May be. In HTML it's not needed since I can write an internal link (#myref)
before specifying it.

 Retrieve Markers?

IMHO yes, since you can make a forward reference with it.

 Extensions.

Let's bypass extensions for now.


So we absolutely need to stop output and cache events if there is a forward
reference.
If we find it at the end, all the pages must remain in memory, and now I see
that this can make FOP behave no better than it does now.

There are three possibilities I see:

1. Start storing the SAX events as soon as a forward reference is caught,
and flush them after the resolved reference.

2. Ignore the forward references (speed property); if someone doesn't use
any of the above features, there is no difference in output anyway.

3. Do the FOP processing in 2 steps.
   1- Process all the stuff without the references writing to disk
   2- resolve them by rereading the file
   This resolves memory issues but not speed.

I would go for 1 and 2.
If we store the SAX events before firing them, they are smaller than DOM and
can be saved to a Store that can also be a disk in case of low memory.
This is how Cocoon caches pages, and this is how we could cache SAX
fragments that are there just to wait for a forward reference.

We can also give a clear indication to users to how to optimize pages: no
forward references = much less memory = higher speed.

Anyway, these forward references are a pain in the ass :-/

Thats not true. We can do better and the current development is developing 
towards a way that will do better.
The key is that there is a definite API between the Area Tree and the 
Renderers. This means that we can prepare a page and later render its 
contents. All following pages can be rendered if they are finished. The 
forward reference resolution can be done in the area tree with the help of 
the layout managers and then the completed page can be rendered (depends 
if the renderer supports out of order which pdf does). If the memory gets 
low then a page can be stored to disk and retrieved when forward

Never thought so.

Ok, so I see that there is agreement on the fact that using SAX events as

I will focus now on implementing Avalon stuff in FOP, starting from
Configuration (non static) and URI resolving (for images).

Re: Colon character problematic in xsl:template match=StringContainingColon ??

2002-03-19 Thread Joe Sytniak

 In what sense does XSLFO not work? What are the exact symptoms?
 Do you get an error message or unexpected results? Is the problem
 caused by the transformation or during formatting? Did you inspect
 the intermediate FO? Can you show the relevant parts of your XSLT
 and source XML (please trim the files down to the problematic parts)?

Perhaps an XSLT list would be the best place to look for answers on this
one.  Except I only seem to be having problems when using my XSL templates
with FO templates. I suppose this could just be coincidental. Others have
suggested that it is likely that I would have this problem with XSLT using
the same parser. I will check this once I get a hold of another XSL engine.

I am interpreting the errors as parsing errors.

 Retrieve Markers?

IMHO yes, since you can make a forward reference with it.

-Original Message-

The section on retrieve-marker is not well written, but I would assert with
a high degree of confidence that for any retrieve-marker, the only
qualifying markers have already been seen.

Supporting analysis:

Spec Statement 1 - The term 'containing page' is used here to mean the page
that contains the first area generated or returned by the children of the
retrieved fo:marker.

Spec Statement 2 - [ qualifying ] areas do not have a position in the
hierarchy if they are within pages that follow the containing page.

Statement 1 tells me that the page containing the fo:retrieve-marker is the
containing page. Statement 2 tells me that markers, which otherwise qualify
on the basis of class-name and retrieve-boundary, are ruled out.

This is pretty unambiguous, although other parts of the relevant discussion
are not.

I am open to counter-arguments. The reason I am open to counter-arguments is
I read stuff like this, for example:

A) If the value of the retrieve-position property is
last-starting-within-page, then the last qualifying area in the containing
page whose is-first trait has a value of true is better than any other
area. If there is no such area, then the last qualifying area in the
containing page is better than any other area.

AND

B1) Every area in the hierarchy is considered preferential to, or better
than, any area below it in the hierarchy. When comparing two areas to
determine which one is better, the terms first and last refer to the
preorder traversal order of the area tree.

COUPLED WITH

B2) A qualifying area within a page is better than any qualifying area
within a preceding page.

and my brain starts to implode. What does this mean? That _if_ there are NO
areas on the containing page that have is-first = true, and in fact,
there are no qualifying areas on the containing page at all, then Rule A
kicks in and a qualifying area on page 11 is better than a qualifying area
on page 18? In fact the entire question of what qualifying areas should be
selected of nothing is found on the containing page is up in the air -
apparently one always selects the first qualifying area (pre-order traversal
of the area tree) subject to class-name and retrieve-boundary. Better to
select nothing at all.

Anyway, that's my little rant on markers. I raised the issue last year but
never got an answer.

But in terms of forward references fortunately the spec is very clear.

AHS

  Microsoft have built into their ADO persisted XML have sparked long and 
  controversial discussions among greater minds than ours. Perhaps 
  it's time to move to ADO.NET?

Additional space generated after inline on PDF Renderer

   Summary: Additional space generated after inline on PDF Renderer
   Product: Fop
   Version: 0.20.3
  Platform: PC
OS/Version: Solaris
Status: NEW
  Severity: Normal
  Priority: Other
 Component: pdf renderer
AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]


The following extract of code generates additional space after the 'red text'
when generating PDF but not in the AWT version. I can see no obvious reason for
this, there is no addition whitespace in the source (regardless of what yahoo
mail does to it).

Development Platform : Solaris 8 Intel (JDK Solaris_JDK_1.2.1_04c)
FOP Version : 0.20.3
Acrobat Version : acroread-4.05 (solaris Intel) and Acroread-5.0 (Win32)

SV: subscript, superscript

2002-03-19 Thread Klosa Uwe

Etwin,

I'm using fo:inline vertical-align=super and fo:inline
vertical-align=sub, but the results aren't good.
Subscript places the text too low och superscript too high.

Uwe

Hi,

Try this with fop, in a previous version it worked:

fo:inline vertical-align=super

 Hi Henrik,

 I've got the same problem and I asked for this several times here. But I
 didn't get an answer.
 The recommendation says, that you have to use baseline-shift=super or
 baseline-shift=sub.
 But this isn't implemented yet and I find now no time to do it. Perhaps is
 there someone else
 who needs this parameter, too.
 If you want to implemented baseline-shift, might it be an good idea.

 Best regards

 Uwe

 Amne: subscript, superscript


 hi,

 can someone help me where to find the settings for subscript and
superscript
 in the fop-0.20.3 sourcecode?

 I have especially trouble using subscript as it places text too low for my
 application requirements.

 regards

 Henrik
