Re: page-position=last vs. conditional blocks

Now that I discovered that page-position=last is not implemented in
FOP, I am looking for alternative ways to produce first, middle and
last specific pages. Is there any way to do some conditional stuff on

Askinig for page-position=last seems to be thequestion of
the week.
If creation time is uncritical, a two pass solution can provide
this. The generated FO uses a repeatable--page-master-reference
or a repeatable-page-master-alternatives for the main document body,
in the first pass the maximum-repeats is unbounded (very large),
in the second pass it is restricted to the relevant page count so
that the next page master can kick in for the last page.
In the XSLT, declare a parameter for the page count and something
like this:
xsl:param name=page-count/
xsl:template name=generate-page-master
fo:page-sequence-master master-name=all
!-- page master for first page --
fo:single-page-master-reference master-reference=first/
!-- page master for rest --
fo:repeatable--page-master-reference master-reference=rest
maximum-repeats={$page-count}/
!-- page master for last, unused in first pass (no harm) --
fo:repeatable--page-master-reference master-reference=last/
/fo:page-sequence-master
/xsl:template
There has been sample Java code published on this list for automating
the whole process:

Re: Table footers and headers
Nwilan Glirt wrote: That is bad news for me... I am beginning to loose faith in FO being a practical solution for build business forms like invoices from XML. Has anyone actually succeeded doing this? Yes. What I really needed would be something like table-ONLY-footer-at-break and table-ONLY-header-at-break, but I know that this kind of request is beyond the scope of this mailing list. The usual trick is to use markers instead of headers+footers. Roughly for the footers: every table first cell of a row except in the last row has a tab-footer marker with the desired text. The first cell in the last row has an empty tab-footer marker. The static content for the region-after retrieves the last. tab-footer marker in a way that looks like is was part of the table (means preciese measurements). The disadvantage is a bit of additional space between the page body text and the footer on pages where no conditional pseudo-table-footer is printed.

Re: Odd, Even Last-odd Problem
Clay Leeds wrote: Actually, the new problem (referenced in a newer e-mail) is that I have my system set to end-on-even but rather than using the EVEN page simple-page-master stuff for the LAST page, FOP outputs another page using the ODD simple-page-master, and numbers it page 6 of 5 in the region-before.

Re[2]: error caused by double.sided=1

Thanks a lot! But there's still a small bug. Empty pages (i.e. inserted to make chapters start on odd page numbers) have the wrong margins. The binding side should always have a larger margin. Although, the page numbers are printed always on the correct side. I'm not sure... is this a problem with the xsl stylesheets or is this done by FOP? bye, Tobias xsl:param name=double.sided1/xsl:param xsl:param name=generate.toc book toc,title book/chapter toc,title /xsl:param xsl:template match=chapter/*[1] xsl:call-template name=toc.separator/ xsl:apply-imports/ /xsl:template xsl:template name=toc.separator fo:block break-before=odd-page/ /xsl:template - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: AWTRenderer/progressListener
Alexander Koppelhuber wrote: Q1: AWTRenderer does not call its progressListeners methods. So I guess that this feature is no implemented yet. Will it be included in the next release, or do I have to rely on the logging messages (because its not part of the Renderer interface anyway)? Are the logging messages the only way to get information about the progress? Yes, you are right. Progress listener will probably be imlemented only in FOP 1.0dev. And for a while logger is the only way. Q2: I'm using AWTRenderer to produce a preview image before rendering to a pdf file, because I could not find a good (and cheap) java pdf viewer. And both, adobe pdf and jpedal, were not able to load and display all pdf files correctly. Is there some other solution to produce preview images? Opening pdf in a browser? I'm not very satisfied with the rendering quality of the fonts when using AWTRenderer.
