Re: representative example needed - success story
I suppose now is a good time to share my experience with FOP with the rest of the mailing list, particularly the FOP developers. I'm a software developer working for a company that does health care administration services for many large US companies. Many of these clients have former employees who enjoy COBRA benefits, others provide subsidized benefits for their employees or retired former employees. We've been using FOP for well over a year now, creating over 35000 invoices per month, most of which are available to our participants online as a static document that they can view or download. We're also beginning to use FOP to generate all of our client level reports, although we have yet to undertake the task of converting the old C++ programs that currently generate the reports in HTML ;). If that's not enough, we're just finishing up a system to generate all types of different healthcare-related participant letters such as open enrollment forms using FOP for rendering. As for the future, I've just finished implementing an OCR scanline (using an embedded OCR font) and POSTNET barcode (using the fabulous barcode4j package at http://barcode4j.krysalis.org) on our individual invoice stub to save money and time spent matching payments to participants. In other words, much thanks to all the FOP developers past, present, and future, for putting so much time into this great product!

RE: lining up amounts w/ and w/o parentheses - solved
By the way - if anyone is interested in how I solved my problem, it was deceptively simple. I used the built-in format-number function like so: xsl:value-of select='format-number(./prev_am, $###,###.00 ;($###,###.00))'/ ... xsl:value-of select='format-number(./current_am, $###,###.00 ;($###,###.00))'/ ... xsl:value-of select='format-number(./paid_am, ($###,###.00); $###,###.00)'/ ... xsl:value-of select='format-number(./total_am, $###,###.00 ;($###,###.00))'/ You'll notice in the formatting string $###,###.00 ;($###,###.00) that the first part, which applies only to positive numbers, has a space on the right but before the semi colon (;). This effectively pushes the resultant string to the left, lining it up with negative values. The second part as you may have guessed, applies only to negative numbers. If you're wondering why the ./paid_am uses the opposite format, it's because I need to make it look negative even though the number in the xml is positive. Thanks to everyone again for their help!

lining up amounts w/ and w/o parentheses
My pdf is a bill which lists positive and negative amounts in a table, and I need to use parentheses for the negative amounts. The problem is that those w/ parentheses don't line up with the others - they're pushed left (because everything is right-aligned). I've tried this: xsl:variable name=space select=' '/ ... $xsl:value-of select=current_am/xsl:value-of select=$space/ ($xsl:value-of select=paid_am/) $xsl:value-of select=total_am/xsl:value-of select=$space/ but to no avail. I've also tried using white-space-collapse=false in the enclosing fo:block, but it still seems to be lost as well as causing problems due to stylesheet indenting.

I really enjoy working with FOP: I use one XSL-FO sheet to generate plain text, PDF and even SVG documents. The resulting docs have the same layout. Since the layout is very complex, we require that the layout is configured in only one XSL-FO stylesheet. The only thing that I am missing, is a render class for HTML as we are also in need of a HTML doc. Does anyone have a solution for this? HTML is fundamentally different from FOP's other output formats, most of which are paginated -- HTML is not. FOP does support MIF RTF output (neither of these renderers is robust right now), both of which are structural, like HTML, but there is a big difference -- both are much more complex than HTML, and it makes some sense to hide that complexity from users. One could write an HTML renderer for FOP, but the results would probably not be satisfactory. It really makes more sense to use a separate transformation to convert your XML directly to HTML. This will, I think, give you an order of magnitude more flexibility than anything you could get by passing the whole thing through FOP.

You could try indent calculation based on the length of the string for each line. indent = (page-width - string-length) / 2 That's obviously not the xpath syntax you'd need to use, but it should give you the result you want. Use the xpath function string-length() and pass in your string. Then for the second line that needs extra indent, try indent = ((page-width - string-length) / 2) + extra-indent Mike -Original Message- From: Marcus Andersson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, April 04, 2003 8:44 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Centering a _block_ (read div) of text Hello First: Thanx for the help with the questions yesterday. I need a block of text to be centered. Just to center it is no problem, the problem is that I want one line in one font and the next line in another font and the second line should also be skewed relative to the first line. See ascii image: The whole region-body: ** * This is the first line* * This is the second line * ** * etc... * So I want the complete block of the two lines to be centered. If I create a block element with text-align=center and in the block element put a block element for each line and also put a start-indent on the second line then the whole block don't get centered. The two lines get centered separatly and then the second lines get an indent from the centered position and that is not the result I want. The result I want can be compared with creating a div-block that is centered in the body and having the first line to the far left in that div and then the second line relative-positioned some pixels to the right. Doing indent on each line with a constant amount isn't an option since I'm generating pdf's from different xml sources (as I guess most people are) and the line lengths can vary.

RE: Fat, multi-colored, sideborder to the right
You can specify the region-before to not overlap the edge regions using precedence on region-before. Try this in your page-master: fo:region-before precedence=false ... / fo:region-after precedence=false ... / fo:region-end precedence=true ... / I don't know about the content overflowing the extent of the region-end, but give it a try.

My understanding of the start, end, before and after regions is that the start-region spans on the top of the document from the left all the way to the right (the same with region-after) and region-start (and end) spans _between_ region-before and region-after. If I'm wrong so please correct me. Another reason (I think) why I can't put it in the region-end area is that I want some content to flow over the border (sometimes I truly hate designers ;).

xpath question
Since right now keeps are only implemented for table rows, I've got to hack a way to keep certain content together on a page. To that end, I'm counting the number of x and y elements, the sum of which I test against a value to determine whether or not to insert a page break. My expression looks like this: !-- hack to make sure stuff is kept together -- xsl:choose xsl:when test=13=count(./elections)+count(./dependents) fo:block font-size=20pt 13 OR GREATER /fo:block /xsl:when xsl:otherwise LESS THAN 13 fo:block break-before=page #xA0; /fo:block /xsl:otherwise /xsl:choose The problem is that my test is always true, even when the sum of the counts is less than 13. Anyone knowledgable in XPATH out there? Also, does anyone know of a good XPATH primer on the web? Mike - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

RE: xpath question
It seems the problem was simply the precedence in the expression. The
statement that works is:
13=(count(./elections)+count(./dependents))
notice the parentheses wrapping the sum of the counts. It turns out that
'' is okay in XMLSpy although '' is not, so to be consistent, it's
probably a good idea to always escape them ('' = 'gt;' and '' =
'lt;'). Thanks for your help Adam, Marcus, and Jochen!

Hello,
I'm not sure what xsl processor xml spy uses but i have found that some
xsl
processors don't like the '' character and should be replaced with the
symbolic equivilant.
try using an gt;= instead of = ?
Just a guess cause it doesn't look like that statement should be trying
to
return a nodelist.

table footer placement
The first time I sent this one I didn't get any replies, so I'll try it one more time. I've got a table with a header, footer, and just enough rows to make the footer spill onto a new page. I also set the attribute table-omit-footer-at-break to true. So I get this when transforming: [WARNING] footer could not fit on page, moving last body row to next page What actually happens, however, is that the last row of the table is on the first page, and the second page has the table header and footer only.
