 specifying block-progression-dimension=100% on a table or table-row  
 would (and should) not have any effect. Only the CSS-XSL hybrids  
 'height/min-height/max-height' apply to them.

My first reaction was: That's simply not true. b-p-d does apply to table
and table-row. The CSS properties are mapped to the XSL equivalents as
specified in http://www.w3.org/TR/xsl11/#d0e4413
Our code exclusively works with b-p-d and i-p-d, not height, max-height etc.

But as you noticed 7.3 refers to the CSS properties explicitely. IMO
that's another point in the spec that is really not helpful. Rather the
opposite. I wish the CSS dependency were never introduced

Anyway, b-p-d does apply to table and table-row. :-)

 Now, these being CSS  
 properties in origin, I think that either:
 a) the first rule in 7.3 applies
 1. For properties defined in CSS2 referring to the containing  
 block, the content-rectangle of the closest ancestor block-area that  
 is not a line-area is used.
 
 or b), the height property being mapped to XSL's block-progression- 
 dimension (or inline-progression-dimension), the fourth rule applies
 4. If the formatting object generating the identified area generates  
 a sequence of such areas, the first area is used for the conversion.
 
 I'd put my money on a). Moreover, this is most likely why XSL  
 explicitly refers to CSS in its definition of height, since  
 percentage heights for tables and table-rows in CSS are /not/ defined  
 in terms of a containing block --they are undefined altogether :(

I prefer to ignore the CSS stuff and work with the XSL stuff entirely,
i.e. map everything to XSL and go from there. Makes my brain hurt a
little less. :-)

 b) seems to make matters even worse. It would again lead to a  
 circular dependency for some tables that are direct descendants of  
 the flow, since that 'first area' could correspond to the first area  
 generated by the table itself... If not, then it could also be an  
 area generated by a completely unrelated block (=first block in the  
 flow) preceding the table...? Big Shrug indeed!

I don't think there is a circular dependency:



XSL 1.1 says for percentages in block-progression-dimension:
The percentage is calculated with respect to the corresponding dimension
of the closest area ancestor that was generated by a block-level
formatting object. If that dimension is not specified explicitly i.e.,
it depends on content's block-progression-dimension), the value is
interpreted as auto.



Which I understand as changing the n% value of b-p-d for the current
object to auto. So on Andrea's example:
fo:table-row
  fo:table-cell number-columns-spanned={all}
  fo:block-container block-progression-dimension.optimum=100%
  block-progression-dimension.minimum=0pt
fo:block#xA0;/fo:block
  /fo:block-container
  /fo:table-cell
/fo:table-row

The height of the fo:block-container is 100% of the height of the
fo:table (the closest ancestor generating a block-area). As for fo:table
the only sensible value is auto, then the height of this very
block-container is changed to auto.


I agree with Vincent's interpretation here. When the spec is unclear, 
common sense should prevail. Just saying percentage heights are not 
supported unless inside a block-container is not good enough IMHO. And 
if a common sense approach can't be agreed upon then an e-mail should be 
sent to the editors list requesting clarification.






In the case where fo:table is a child of fo:block or fo:flow isn't the
nearest ancestor reference area the fo:region-body? Whose bpd will be
known.



To be precise, the nearest ancestor is the normal-flow-reference-area in
which the table relies, which has the size of its parent
span-reference-area, whose size generally is the size of the
main-reference-area (unless there are several spans) which generally has
the size of the region-body (unless there are before-floats or
footnotes) (see 6.4.14 fo:region-body). Follow me? ;-)


Yes and I agree.


So yes the bpd should be known, unless there are several spans in which
case we can surely imagine a whole bunch of tricky situations with a mix
of auto and percentages, leaving the bpd undefined...


Thats right, so the only case thats not supported then is percentage 
heights on FOs on a page with multiple span areas. I think that is an 
acceptable limitation from a user perspective.

Does anyone else think this discussion should be moved to fop-dev?

Yes, but that's precisely what makes it all so fuzzy...
The Recommendation does not refer to the 'nearest ancestor reference  
area'.

Why? I have no idea. In any case, there's only stuff like:
- the closest area ancestor generated by a block-level FO
- the closest ancestor block-area
- the first area in the sequence of areas generated by...

All in all, I'd say it boils down to: don't use percentages for table  
or table-row height (or table-cell, for that matter).


Peculiar is that the behavior for percentages on fixed-positioned  
block-containers is explicitly defined in terms of references to the  
nearest ancestor viewport area. OTOH, if I remember correctly, block- 
containers aren't supposed to appear broken over multiple pages (if  
the content is too large to fit, treat the excess content according  
to the overflow property).

 when specified for table rows and row groups.
 
 (*) http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/tables.html#height-layout

That's what CSS2 says, not XSL.

 I'd very much like to agree with your solution/interpretation, but  
 the nit in me feels compelled to ask:
 100% of what?

XSL 1.1 says for percentages in block-progression-dimension:
The percentage is calculated with respect to the corresponding dimension
of the closest area ancestor that was generated by a block-level
formatting object. If that dimension is not specified explicitly (i.e.,
it depends on content's block-progression-dimension), the value is
interpreted as auto.

But that's a weird statement IMO. If the table's parent is a block, the
block's height depends on the content's size. Circular dependency. It
would make more sense to say: ...of the closest anscestor that is a
reference area... Shrug.

See also: http://www.w3.org/TR/xsl11/#percrule

 What do other processors do in that case?

Haven't checked.

Table troubles

2007-02-09 Thread Vincenzo Mazzeo

Hi all,
I have upgraded fop from 0.25 to 0.93 and I have some troubles with tables.

1. On page break table doesn't have the bottom border even if I set it.
2. On the last page, if there isn't enough data, table doesn't fill all
available space even if I set the 'height' attribute to 100%.

Moreover I have some cells with the 'display-align' attribute set to
'after'. Because of I can't use the 'keep-together' attribute on rows,
it happens that if a row is shared on two pages the 'display-align'
doesn't work and the value appears on the former page instead of the latter.

Does anyone have idea about these troubles?

Regards
Vincenzo

This is because of border conditionality. Table borders are not painted 
at the start/end of a reference area by default. You have to add 
property table-border.conditionality=retain


Hi Chris,
I added the table-border.conditionality=retain property to the 
fo:table but it says Error(4/2343): fo:table, Invalid property name 
'table-border.conditionality. How can I use this property?



2. On the last page, if there isn't enough data, table doesn't fill all

height attribute has no affect on a table. IIUC, then there is no way to 
stretch a table so that it fills an entire page using XSL-FO 1.1.




Moreover I have some cells with the 'display-align' attribute set to
'after'. Because of I can't use the 'keep-together' attribute on rows,
it happens that if a row is shared on two pages the 'display-align'
doesn't work and the value appears on the former page instead of the 
latter.


I don't follow this bit. What do you mean by a table-row being shared 
between 2 pages. Do you mean you have some cells spanning 2 rows, whilst 
other cells are not?




I mean that a cell can contain more than one line. As I don't use the 
'keep-together' attribute some lines are put on a page and the others on 
the other page.

Oops I made a typo in my original e-mail! The correct property name is

fo:table border-color=black border-width=1pt border-style=solid 
border.conditionality=retain

and you are saying that you can't use keep-together on the table-row

An extension isn't necessary. This can be expressed with normal FO

Or, to avoid the CSS 'height' pitfall, how about:

fo:table-row
  fo:table-cell number-columns-spanned={all}
  fo:block-container block-progression-dimension.optimum=100%
  block-progression-dimension.minimum=0pt
fo:block#xA0;/fo:block
  /fo:block-container
  /fo:table-cell
/fo:table-row

What does the percentage refer to in this case?
Is space-before/-after needed to complete the picture?
