Sorry I can't check the archives but they seem to be down.
I'm having trouble with keep properties: I need to ensure that titles aren't
orphaned from their bodies. I want to add
keep-with-next.within-page=always to the block that contains the title
page, but it doesn't work and is noted on the features page as being broken.
When will there be a fixed version? keep-together would also be incredibly
useful. This problem makes fop almost unusable for me, as otherwise I have
to tell the authors to 'add more words to get the pages to lay out nice'
which is not really OK...
Another question: the -awt renderer. Is there any standard programmatic way
to divert that output into a custom viewer so that fop can be used to create
the reporting piece for a Swing db-based application, or should I just
attack the source with a blunt intelligence? This has potential to solve
all my problems!
Thanks,
Alistair

Hi Horiana,
using xsl:attribute ... should work for you. It sets an attribute to the
parent
(short version:)
fo:block
xsl:attribute name=background-color
xsl:value-of select=@bgcolor/
/xsl:attribute
xsl:attribute name=font-size
xsl:value-of select=@size/
/xsl:attribute
xsl:value-of select=./
/fo:block

Betreff: fop -xml file.xml -xsl file.xsl -pdf file.pdf
Hi all,
Here is what I want to do. I am using the Fop command line application
giving
to it three parameters: the xml file, the xsl file and the name of the
output
pdf file.
I have an xml file with the following content:
document
chapter
title./title
paragraph color=blue size=19pt
text. /text
/paragraph
paragraph color=red size=10pt
text. /text
/paragraph
/chapter
chapter /chapter
/document
The idea is that color and size attributes are specific to each
paragraph.
The texts within different paragraphs could be coloured in different colours
and
could have different sizes. I tried to build the xsl file and for a
paragraph
I used a fo:block formatting object. The problem is that the font_size
attribute of fo:block formatting object has to have a fixed value, so the
xsl
file should look like
xsl:template match=paragraph
fo:block font-size=9pt
font-family=sans-serif
line-height=10pt
text-align=start
background-color=blue
start-indent=1cm
xsl:value-of select=./
/fo:block
/xsl:template
But I would like that the font-size and background-color to take the
values
(somehow and I don't know how) from xml file. I tried something like this:
fo:block font-size=xsl:value-of select=@size/
font-family=sans-serif
line-height=10pt
text-align=start
background-color=blue
start-indent=1cm
xsl:value-of select=./
/fo:block
but it didn't work.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks,
Horiana
