RE: Problem with column spanned

[Ward, Christopher]

Your second table row has no content, and is most likely being colapsed to
nothing.

RE: page-position=last, FOP vs XEP, business forms

[Ward, Christopher]

Would it be posible to iterate over your list of invoices (by using
recursion with the head and tail approach in the xslt translation). But keep
a counter of the number of invoices processed this page. When the counter
hits a certain level start a new page by doing the carried forward/brought
forward part of the page break. 

That way if there are no page breaks all of the invoice lines will appear on
the one page, and if there are more invoice lines that can appear on a
single page the appropriate page break will appear.

This approach will however mean that you have a page sequence for each page.
It will also mean that you have to know how many invoice lines can appear on
a single page.

regards,
Chris

 :-) We're doing mostly invoices and such but that's exactly the kind of
 requirements that I've always tried to avoid. If you can figure out a
 good (general) solution I'd be glad if you could post it. I regret that
 I never took the time to figure it out myself. I hope somebody on this
 list has a few good ideas. I've thought about markers for the subtotals,
 but I don't know if they can help here.

  What I am doing is producing a classic invoice-type document which
 needs:
 Special first page with adresses in the header and amount tranferred
 to 
  next page in case of more than one page.
 Middle pages with amount transferred from prev. page and amount 
  tranferred to next page
 Special last page with amount transferred from prev. page and total
 
  amount etc.
  
  On top of this I need a page design for first page also beeing last
 page, 
  with both the adress part and the total part!
  
  I'm not even sure this can be acchived using FO as such. Does anyone
 have 
  experiences with producing business forms such as invoices? Wanna share?
