How to change FOP hyphenation points?
Platform: DocBook XML 4.2, DocBook XSL 1.62.4, xsltproc 1.0.27, fop 0.20.5 Is there a way to introduce soft line breaks into FOP formatting? I'm using the DocBook XSL style sheets to create XSL:FO files from DocBook XML documents, and feed the XSL:FO files through FOP to create PDF files. I have two URLs in table cells, that breaks in this manner: ht- ttp://somemachine/path/to/some- where And that looks a bit silly. I can't make the table columns wider, and I can't make the URLs shorter, and I don't want to change the table. It's a table that lists PUT and GET URLs for different services. Ie. like this: +--+--+-+ | | GET URL | PUT URL | +--+--+-+ | Some desc. | | | +--+--+-+ | Some other desc. | | | +--+--+-+ Is there eg. a character I could insert that would tell FOP to break at a particular point? I tried using shy; after http://;. But the result was that the URLs were broken in the same way as before in the PDF output, and a hyphen character was inserted where I had put in shy;. The numerical character reference inserted into the XSL:FO, was xAD;. I've looked at http://xml.apache.org/fop/hyphenation.html, but it looked a bit complicated, for what I wanted to do. I was looking for a way to find a file I could drop in the document's directory, where I could put the URLs, with proper break points inserted.

I tried inserting #200b; after http://;. The result was like this:
[snip!]
I tried using line feeds instead, with the same result.
I ended up using fo:block/ to force the line break at the desired
place.
I put in the PI ?fo-table-cell-break? where I wanted the break, and
put the following template into the XSLT style sheet generating the
XSL:FO:
xsl:template match=processing-instruction('fo-table-cell-break')
fo:block/
/xsl:template
This is a bit clunky, but it got me desired results.
Thanx!

Re: Scaling of SVG in FOP doesn't work
On Thu, 20 Mar 2003 15:03:11 +0100, Steinar Bang [EMAIL PROTECTED] said: At the end of this message is a DocBook fragment including an SVG figure, with scaling. Imediately following, is a Tidy'd XSL:FO fragment generated by the DocBook XSL style sheets. The SVG image isn't scaled in the resulting PDF file. I just see the top of a big image that stretches outside of the page. Is there a way to make SVG images scale? Do I have to change to a different version of FOP? To answer my own question: this is a FOP FAQ: http://xml.apache.org/fop/graphics.html#svg-scaling Currently, SVG images are rendered with the dimensions specified in the SVG file, within the viewport specified in the fo:external-graphic element. For everything to work properly, the two should be equal. The SVG standard leaves this issue as an implementation detail. FOP will probably implement a scaling mechanism in the future. Ie. when creating the FOP image, you have to create it with the dimensions you wish it to have in the result. I haven't figured out a way to do this with my Dia[1] drawing. Dia 0.90 doesn't seem to have a way to select all objects, and scale them to a certain size. - Steinar References: [1] http://www.lysator.liu.se/~alla/dia/ - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Do Fop have problems with keep-with-...?
Steinar Bang [EMAIL PROTECTED]: J.Pietschmann [EMAIL PROTECTED]: [snip!] If you are generating FO from DocBook, this will probably be hard, or harder. You can try to fiddle with the docbook style sheets to achieve this effect. Some workaround around those lines, is what I will try tomorrow. What I did was to put beginpage/ elements at appropriate places in the DocBook XML source, to force line breaks _before_ the problematic sections. This is a hack, because it is vulnerable to changes to the XML source. But it is less ugly than the other hacks on the table, and I'll remove the beginpage/ elements when Fop supports keep-*. I noticed that the DocBook XSL style sheets didn't have a template for beginpage, so I put the following in my local FO-producing style sheet: xsl:template match=beginpage fo:block break-after=page/ /xsl:template
Do Fop have problems with keep-with-...?
Platform: Intel PIII, debian testing, Blackdown Java SDK 1.3.1, Saxon 6.4.4, DocBook XML 4.1.2, DocBook-XSL 1.48, Fop-0.20.3rc Does Fop still have a problem with keep-with-*? Searches on the net seem to indicate that this was the case as late as February this year: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-xsl-fo/2002Feb/0064.html If the problem still persists, does anyone know of a good workaround? I have a problem with the title of a section, in a DocBook XML article, not sticking with the rest of the section, when a page break is inserted. Since what I'm writing is a step-by-step cookbook with screen shots, this results in pages consisting of a large image (a screen dump), the descriptive text for that image, and the section title for the next screen dump. And this looks rather silly. More info on what I have done and tried, can be found in the thread starting with: http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/docbook-apps/200204/threads.html#00221 Thanx! - Steinar
Re: to J.Pietschmann (about keep-together)
J.Pietschmann [EMAIL PROTECTED]: MARTIN Franck wrote: Thank you for your advice but what do you mean by blind table? A table without borders, so you don't notice it's actually there. Often used for doing complicated layouts which can be fitted manually to an underlying grid. In your case, just for keeping stuff together. I have a similar problem. My problem is that my FO is generated from DocBook source, and that the only way I can see how to accomplish a blind table, is to create a different template for DocBook section elements that will create a mess for regular sections. Hm...

Some workaround around those lines, is what I will try tomorrow. I won't fiddle with the DocBook XSL style sheets directly, but I will replace a template or several templates, in a local XSL style sheets. The local style sheet is already in place. This is where I set the page size to be a4 instead of the default letter, and this is where I override the standard table template, to fix stuff. If you are at it, you can fix a few other problems DocBook generated have (fo:table-and-caption, Already done in the local style sheet, see http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=fop-userm=101829073309486w=2 references to fo:page-sequence and to fo:block with a break-before) What are the problems with these? I haven't run into them yet. Your alternative is to use a commercial FO processor. Or PassiveTex, perhaps...? http://www.hcu.ox.ac.uk/TEI/Software/passivetex/ But I think I would miss the SVG rendering of Fop.

Furthermore, remove whatever produced the fo:table-and-caption in

What's wrong with it? Is it an illegal FO construct? Or is it a
construct unsupported by Fop?
Not implemented in FOP. I think these tables are not put into the
output, or at least the caption will be missing. Try it yourself.
Use of fo:table-and-caption was the reason no tables appeared in the
output.
I have fixed it, for now, by defining a new template for table, in my
local XSL style sheet for creating FO from DocBook. This local style
sheet holds my local settings (A4 instead of letter, turn on saxon
extensions etc.).
Attached is the file with the doctored template (It's the table
template from the DocBook XSL fo style sheet, with the
fo:table-and-caption stuff commented out.
