Title: RE: Book on FOP Sorry, I was obviously reffering to bug fixes, rather than implying a growing number of bugs.

RE: XSL_FO generator
I haven't found a nice one, let alone a free one, and I would imagine that a product would have to become very sophisticated ( and hence very likely to be expensive ) in order to allow a user to generate a stylesheet effectively. IMHO allowing users to create stylesheets is a can of worms and I would consider myself better off leaving users to populate the xml source and using a contractor/in-house designer to produce your stylesheets separately.

table-footer at foot of table problem
Hello. Please excuse me if this has already been asked - I've trawled through the archives and read the FAQ to try to find an answer, but to no avail. I am using a table with a fixed height, and a table-footer element. I may be missing something, but I would like to have the footer at The bottom of the table, rather than after the last table row in the body section. Does anyone know how I can achieve this? ( I've included an example in case I haven't explained myself clearly ) Thanks in advance, Steve Example fo xml: ?xml version=1.0? fo:root xmlns:fo=http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format; fo:layout-master-set fo:simple-page-master master-name=example margin-top=10mm margin-bottom=10mm margin-left=10mm margin-right=10mm page-width=170mm page-height=170mm fo:region-body/ /fo:simple-page-master /fo:layout-master-set fo:page-sequence master-reference=example fo:flow flow-name=xsl-region-body fo:table border=1pt solid black height=100mm table-layout=fixed fo:table-column column-width=100mm/ fo:table-header fo:table-row fo:table-cell fo:block Header /fo:block /fo:table-cell /fo:table-row /fo:table-header fo:table-footer fo:table-row fo:table-cell fo:block Footer /fo:block /fo:table-cell /fo:table-row /fo:table-footer fo:table-body fo:table-row fo:table-cell fo:block Body /fo:block /fo:table-cell /fo:table-row /fo:table-body /fo:table /fo:flow /fo:page-sequence /fo:root this produces a pdf kind of like the following: +---+ |Header | |Body | |Footer | | | | | | | | | | | +---+ whereas what I would really like is: +---+ |Header | |Body | | | | | | | | | | | |Footer | +---+ This message is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed and may contain confidential and/or privileged material.

RE: table-footer at foot of table problem
Thanks for the quick reply Scott, I don't think I want to use page footers in this case (although I'm willing to if they can solve what I want to do ) - but I understand where you are coming from. The reason is that the xsl I've written produces documents that go over a few pages and I wanted to put a row at the bottom of the last page to show some totals using table-omit-footer-at-break, but keep the size of the table consistent on all pages ( otherwise I could just put an table after the fixed table ) Steve. -Original Message- From: Scott Moore [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 30 April 2002 18:12 To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: table-footer at foot of table problem My guess is table-footer is working exactly as intended. Are you sure you don't want to use a page footer? Something that always gets placed at the bottom of a page? If so, look into using xsl-region-after fo:root xmlns:fo=http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format; fo:layout-master-set fo:simple-page-master master-name=example margin-top=10mm margin-bottom=10mm margin-left=10mm margin-right=10mm page-width=170mm page-height=170mm fo:region-after extent=20mm/ fo:region-body margin-bottom=20mm/ /fo:simple-page-master /fo:layout-master-set fo:page-sequence master-reference=example fo:static-content flow-name=xsl-region-after fo:blockFooter/fo:block /fo:static-content fo:flow flow-name=xsl-region-body.
