Ok, that is indeed advanced and, as far as I can see, not in the specification. If you need something like that you will most probably have to implement it yourself. The new line breaking code is entirely based on Donald Knuth's boxes, glue and penalties. It should be possible to modify the algorithm such that it does the above. Each box has access to the text that it contains, and it has pointers to the line endings of the preceding lines. That would be an interesting exercise. But it is entirely out of the scope of regular FOP.

Help about FOP 1.0 DR1
Hi All, I'm a newbie in using Apache FOP. I've read that there's a redesign in progress and that the idea is to publish the first release during the second half of this year. The point is i'm in charge of a bussiness process based in Apache FOP 0.20.5. During this year I need to implement some more transformation funcionalities proposed in the standard XSLT-FO but that are not covered by FOP 0.20.5. I doubdt between implementing them over FOP 0.20.5 or wait for FOP 1.0DR1. Do you know (or have some kind of document) which points of the W3C XSLT-FO standard will be covered in 1.0DR1 release? Does somekind of Roadmap exists? I think i could help developing the points i need for my project and releasing them to Apache FOP 1.0. Thanks David
Re: Help about FOP 1.0 DR1
Hi David, documenting what the next FOP release will support is on the TODO list [1]. I know it's something very important but I haven't had time to start with the list because I mostly wanted to concentrate on getting the most important features to work in the first place. We need to get this done somehow. It would be great if you helped us with that. I imagine that we would extend the current compliance document [2][3] to include information on the Trunk code. Like that we'd have a side-by-side comparison of the features and we could mark the features that are planned in the near future but not yet implemented. I can certainly help filling in the contents but if I didn't also have to do the updated framework for the compliance document I'd be grateful. Maybe Clay Leeds can/wants to help here, too. What you could also do is tell us what features you need and don't have in FOP 0.20.5. I could then give you some quick feedback from my point of view. Have you made any tests with the Trunk code already?
