Space betweens columns

2005-01-20 Thread Sönke Ruempler
Hi,

is it possible to control the space / margin between columns in multi-column
documents?

I can control the margins at the outside of the content, but not the margin
_between_ the colums.

--

thx, soenke.

That's a known but hard to fix bug. Avoid IDs in multi-column layouts
with block spanning all columns or footnotes.

Multi-columns Layout problems

2004-09-21 Thread Pascal Sancho



Hi 
there,
While trying 
multi-columns with fop, I've found some strange behaviours:
1. When I specifie 
block/span="all", a block/@break-before 
is not taken into account for the same block.
2. If there is not 
enough place for a block image in 1 column, sometimes FOP crashes, invoking an 
infinite loop -- I resolved this problem by inserting some empty blocks 
before
3. When I declare an 
ID (using generate-id() function xpath), I get an error if the element is not 
spanned over the 2 columns (error says that ID cannot be used 
twice).
I suppose that 
intermediate xml file include a copy of the 1st column (I have not checked it 
yet), because fo file is *perfect*!
I need to span the 
element over all columns in order to bypass this problem.

Tables and Columns Question

2004-08-11 Thread Michael Sachau

Hi,

I want to create a three column document. In this
document there are tables, that are generated from
an XML file.

I want the tables in that order

Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3
Table 1  | Table 2  | Table 3
Table 4 ...

I don't want to create a Nx3 Table and put 1 table in one cell,
is there a more elegant solution?

RE: Tables and Columns Question

2004-08-11 Thread Pascal Sancho

In your 3 columns document, You can use a block with a span=all attribute 
between 3rd  4th tables.
This should resolve your demand.

Bye,
Pascal

Why don't you want to create an outer table? It's
the way it is supposed to be done (the XSLFO table
should have really be named grid-layout or something
like this).

Without knowing more about your task, it's hard to come up with a 
solution. For one thing, we don't know if your content is IMAGE-based 
or TEXT-based.

As for overflow, I don't think the overflow (as it relates to 
fo:table-cell  fo:table-column) is well-developed in FOP. I think you 
need to come up with some sort of XSL solution where you count the 
number of characters (or determine the width of an image at run-time) 
or something. This would be a process external to FOP and would be 
better discussed on an XSL/XSLT list:

http://xml.apache.org/fop/maillist.html
If you come up with a solution, please let us know so others may 
benefit from your experience.

p.s. Thanks for moving this thread to fop-user. As you must've 
surmised, fop-dev is for development issues only.

There is no mechanism to overflow columns of a too-wide-a-table
onto another page in XSLFO (might get into XSLFO 1.1. or 2.0.)

FOP doesnt support span=all on fo:table, only on fo:block elements that are 
direct descendents of fo:flow.

snip/
I wonder wether it is a normal behaviour (I've checked the xsl rec, and 
I have understood that fo:table should be handled as a fo:block) or not.
In the 2nd case, this should be a bug.
Why should this be a bug? span=all works on a block, and you get the result 
you want. I dont see the problem?

This is straight forward. You just need to define a header row. This 
is done as follows:

fo:table
fo:table-column column-number=1 width=2cm/

Have you tried using the fo:table-header? I believe the purpose of this 
element (and similarly fo:table-footer) is to print the information on 
every page.

Hope this helps!

Exactly. I've been toying with this and I don't understand how FOP

Imagine that each column's text
would then touch the bottom border. I would try
this with tables but then I would have to know exactly

 Are you trying to keep everything in the table-row together, or keep the
 contents of the table-row from being broken between itself and the next
 table-row?  If you want everything in the table-row together in the same
 column, use keep-together=always, not keep-with-next.  Remember, you're
 acting on the row, not it's contents.  Keep-together keeps the contents
 together.  Keep-with-next keeps the row together with the next row.

I'm not certain if this is causing the problem, but including 
number-rows-spanned=1 number-columns-spanned=1 in your table-cell 
items doesn't appear to 'do' anything.

Other than that, perhaps someone else has some insight?

2004-05-06 Thread Chris Pratt
Are you trying to keep everything in the table-row together, or keep the
contents of the table-row from being broken between itself and the next
table-row?  If you want everything in the table-row together in the same
column, use keep-together=always, not keep-with-next.  Remember, you're
acting on the row, not it's contents.  Keep-together keeps the contents
together.  Keep-with-next keeps the row together with the next row.

Hi,

Have you tried using the property components:

keep-with-next.within-line
keep-with-next.within-column
keep-with-next.within-page

Not sure if these are fully implemented yet... but there's a remote
possibility that plain 'keep-with-next' just uses the page as context.


HTH!

Greetz,

Andreas

Hi,

if you want to span a table (table B) inside a table (Table A), you must set
the table-row's number-columns-spanned attribut of table A to a value
matching the number of columns you want to have spanned by table B.

Re: Misaligned text columns

2004-02-12 Thread J.Pietschmann
[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
I'm trying to set a document in two columns using fop (0.20.5).
Unfortunately, when the two columns do not have exactly the same amount of
material, the baselines of the first lines of the two columns do not align.
They can be as much as 1.5 lines off.
fop does not seem to have implemented .minimum and .maximum (or
.conditionality or .precedence) in space-before and space-after, so the
vertical spaces in the columns are constant rather than mutable. This seems
to be at least part of the problem; leastwise, mucking about with 'stretch'
and 'shrink' values doesn't seem to help..
Correct.
However, I wonder why you get the effect. There is a bug which
prevents FOP from discarding display space at the edge of a
reference area, i.e. at the column top, however, unless the
new column also starts a new block with some non-zero space-before,
the text should be aligned.
BTW the spec is rather hazy about alignment in multi-column
layout. There are alignment options for lists and tables, but
I don't remember there was much said about aligning the first

Re: Misaligned text columns

I'm trying to set a document in two columns using fop (0.20.5).
Unfortunately, when the two columns do not have exactly the same amount of

They can be as much as 1.5 lines off.
I cant think of a workaround in the general sense.
You could try placing your content into a table, starting a new row for 
each paragraph and using keep-together=always on the rows. That way 
the top of each column would always start with a new paragraph and the 
baseline alignment may be improved.

Another technique is to try to guess when a column has been filled and 
place break-after=column at appropriate places in the XSL-FO during 
XSLT processing. Very messy I know...

fop does not seem to have implemented .minimum and .maximum (or
.conditionality or .precedence) in space-before and space-after, so the
vertical spaces in the columns are constant rather than mutable. This seems
to be at least part of the problem; leastwise, mucking about with 'stretch'
and 'shrink' values doesn't seem to help..
Neither does giving a value to display-align in the region-body make any
difference.
display-align is only implemented in block-containers and table cells.
I'm rather mystified, since my reading of the XSL spec and Pawson's book
gives me no clue how I could achieve this effect if I wanted to.
They wouldnt give you any pointers to solve this problem, because they 
are written in general XSL-FO terms, with a fully compliant XSL-FO 
formatter in mind. In other words they are not written specifically for 
FOP users.

Table columns with custom font incorrectly aligned

2003-12-17 Thread Dennis Myrén








Hi again.

I use FOP to generate PDF documents from XSL-FO documents.

The resulting PDF documents contains a big table, and it
uses a custom font (called Signa).

The font files needed are embedded in the document.

I used the PFMReader utility to generate XML metrics files
from these 3 different font metrics files (PFM files).

The table in the PDF document typically uses right aligned
cells.

My problem is, the columns are not properly aligned, a right
aligned column gets to look something like this:


12363474


43382 39


93


9393

 64484505


38483



I tested with a base 14 font, no problems.

Could it be that the generated font metrics is incorrect?

Yes, I believe the current PFMReader ignores the PFB file which has some 
 parts of the font metrics in them.

Nope. You're confusing things, I'm afraid. It's correct that some metric
information needed by FOP is not present in PFM files, only in PFB (but
which are currently not parsed). The problem here is most probably
kerning. We've had that problem before. I just can't find the right
thread right now. I think Jörg had an explanation (but I don't remember
it). I used to propose to manually remove the kerning elements in the
generated XML font metric file. This disables kerning for this font but
normally solves the alignment problem.

Balancing columns in a 2 column region

2003-06-06 Thread Illiano, Vincent
Hi All,

The main flow of my xsl:fo document has a column-count=2.  By using the
attribute span=none or span=all on fo:block's in my document, I can make
the block area use or not use the 2 columns.  So by toggling that span
attribute, I can get output that looks either like:

(span=all)
xxx
xxx
xxx
xxx
xxx

or:

(span=none)
xxx xxx
xxx xxx
xxx

The question I have concerns the balancing of the columns in the span=none
case.  I've noticed that fop always puts about 2x as much data into the
first column as the second.  I'd like the balancing to be closer to 1-1.  Is
that possible?  Is there an attribute that can be set on the flow?  Any
guidance on this would be greatly appreciated!  Thanks, -V

fo:table-cell number-columns-spanned: Is this property working at all?

does what I want (e.g. span several colums with just one cell). But in this
case, the text from xsl:value-of select=../soustitre3_intitule/,. which
is actually rather long, is squeezed in the second cell, (with appr. 1 word
per line, since the second column is rather narrow).
Any ideas?

In the case of arbitrary contents on a cocoon plateform, it would be

You can create a multi-column body region by specifying
the column-count property:
 http://www.w3.org/TR/xsl/slice6.html#fo_region-body
You can have only one multi-column-area. There is a
possibility to put a span=all for blocks which you
want to have to span all columns (mainly intended for
headlines). This would give you a layout as in a
multi-column book.
If you want to have a complex newspaper-like layout,
with a grid with various possibly multi-column articles,
you have to do it manually, either by using a blind
table for the grid, or by using block-containers on
absolute positions.

As far as i have understood the spec, you can't define an arbitrary
area and have multi-column flowing text in it in XSLFO. Study it
yourself, maybe i've overlooked something.
Do you have simple examples or urls to manage multi columns in 
block-containers or tables ?
If you mean text flowing automatically from column to column, there
aren't any.
Block containers can't have multiple columns for itself. The purpose
of block containers is mainly changing block progression direction,
for example having text flow from bottom to top in an otherwise
top-to bottom text, although they are also often used simply to group
blocks for positioning and similar tasks.
In tables, you can have multiple columns, but you have to distribute
the text across columns by yourself, it won't flow automatically, and
there are no mechanisms to make balanced columns easily. You can try
to produce balanced columns at the XSLT level.

Drawing a line between two region-body columns

Is there any way to write something in the column-gap ? Alternatively, 
since I am having a block flowing from one column to another could I 
have the right column block's left border to appear but not the left 
column  block's left border to appear.  

I.e.
right column of block ...   |  ... left column of block and not the 
usual
| right column of block ...   |  ... left column of block which is 
easy to get with block border-left=1pt 

I see no way for this to work, but I would really like it to.

You can use static content in a region overlapping
the region-body with the text flow. Use an empty block
or table with absolute positioning and height settings. 
Yes, as often the solutions proposed assume absolute positions, I would 
much prefer to be able to do this sort of thing starting after a number 
of arbitrary blocks (spanned here). I think that the region-body should 
not indicate the number of columns, but one or several flow-body (let's 
say) which could have varying number of columns (1,2,3...). A model 
superior to what is available today (one can only indicate a fixed 
number of columns or span them). Would also be nice if this flow-body 
could then have decoration attributes for the column gap or for the 
different borders of the columns defined. Just an idea.

BTW please post this kind of questions only to fop-user. 

In general, avoid cross posting to both lists. 
Ok.

2 coliumns * 4 columns table

I need to implement tables that seem to me to be difficult (or

flows from the left four columns (a,b,c,d) on a page to the right four 
columns (a,b,c,d) of the same page before going on to the next pages, 
themselves divided in the same way. The page header on the next pages is 
slightly different from the one found on the first page containing the

You have to explicit assign the text to the columns in tables.
You can try to use columns in the region-body
 fo:region-body column-count=2/
If you can use this, you can probably also use static content
in the region-before for your slightly different headers.

I am trying to do a two column A4 newsletter and don't want to worry 
about inserting column breaks

Hi folks,

I´ve got the following Problem, i want to create a page, that has a
different number of columns, for example it starts with 2 columns than
only one and than 4.
But i can only define columns in region-body and there can be only one
region-body in a simple-page-master.
I don´t want to give an absolute value for the height of the
multicolumn-block.

So is there another way to do multicolumns?

If you are relying on 'column-count' on 'region-body', no, you are stuck 
with that one figure, as you surmised. This is an XSL limitation. So on one 
page you can have areas with one column and 'column-count' columns, 
depending on how you set 'span', but that is it - 2 choices.

You might be able to do something clever if you also introduce tables.
