Re: Placing Copyright notice on SigPlan without using float?
Hi, Internal FOP unit is millipoint, AKA mpt To compute the right value, you just need to convert the desired one to mpt: 1pt = 1000mpt 1in = 72000mpt 1mm = 2835mpt (72000/25.4 rounded to integer) 2014-02-11 4:33 GMT+01:00 Aaron W.

Hi, For such questions, you should ask on DocBook List (follow [1]). [1] http://www.docbook.org/help 2014-02-06 Aaron W.

Re: Placing Copyright notice on SigPlan without using float?
I think Pascal suggestion of using intermediate format is your best bet. Goes like this: fop -fo test.fo -if application/pdf test.if.xml edit the test.if.xml and then fop -ifin test-modified.if.xml -pdf test.pdf attached is an example. you can do it better and add the copyright to a static region and add a blank space at the beginning. then the only thing you need to do is to apply a vertical translation to the first column and you can write a script to do it.

Re: Placing Copyright notice on SigPlan without using float?
Hi, IIUC, you want to have the copyright block only at the bottom of the 1st column of the 1st page. AFAIK, there is no FO solution for that; in one page, all columns will have same height (at least regarding XSL-FO REC 1.1). That said, you can easily change the 1st page body, , and put your copyright cartouche in a static region of the 1st page (in absolute position, if you want). If your requirement is to change the only 1st page/1st column height, the only solution I can imagine is: - add a space before to the 1st fo:block, - and tweak the FOP intermediate format (see [1]) to move up the 1st column area. Note that there is an open issue when using footnote in multicolumn (see [2]). [1] http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/trunk/intermediate.html [2] https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FOP-1943 2014-02-05 Aaron W. Hsu arcf...@sacrideo.us: I have a nearly complete template for the Sigplan article format converting Docbook into FO using the Docbook XSL. So far, I've been able to figure out each element and have it working, so that I get something that's nearly ideal. Unfortunately, there is one problem which I cannot seem to solve. For reference, this work can be found here: https://github.com/arcfide/DocBook-Sigplan This includes the adjustments to the stylesheet and the like. It also includes a PDF showing the document as it is now. At the moment, I'm missing a small copyright notice that gets put as a block of text in the lower left hand corner, taking up part of the first column's text space on the first page. This brings the height of the first column up a bit, and leaves the bottom of the text of the copyright notice flush with the bottom of the second column of the title page. Because this is meant for academic use in research publications, I'm hoping to make it work with an open source FO processor. However, I cannot figure out the right way to put that block of text right there. I could use an absolute positioning, but that seems to be a bit of a problem, because it would cause overlap with the first column. I can't use a float because it would be rendered as a footnote if I floated it to the bottom, and that would span both columns. The only solution I can think of right now is if there were some way to lift up the first column bottom edge so that I could manually ensure that the overlap didn't happen. I would really appreciate any suggestions and solutions anyone could provide that would give me the look I'm going for. It feels like this shouldn't be something out of my reach, and it would be quite depressing if it were technically impossible, because academic publishers need a good alternative to LaTeX. :-) -- Aaron W.

Basically, I have a two column document where I want to put the copyright at the bottom of the 1st column of the 1st page as you say. I'm okay with any method of achieving this in the current version of FOP. If I need to make some changes to the way the columns are done with the first page, I'm okay with that, as long as the solution works well and looks right.
