wrap option is default unless otherwise set to 'nowrap', unless my

counter-intuitive.
Default is to wrap.
Is there a margin inherited from an enclosing block?
I've bitten several times by this. In this case, put
margin=0mm right on the fo:table element.

What confuses me is the fact that batik reads b.svg correctly but FOP doesn't. But FOP delegates SVG handling to batik... Could you explain me if it's normal behaviour ? Going into guess mode... There are always issues with embedding other stuff. You don't embed it wholesale. Command line applications often contain additional logic for reading configurations and setting up various stuff. I suppose the XML parser used for parsing the SVG pointed to by a fo:external-graphics is set up by FOP. If the SVG includes antoher SVG, a new parser is set up, this time by Batik. It is just possible that FOP's parser is correctly set to non-validating, while the parser used by Batik uses Xerces default, which is validating (I think. You use Xerces?). If so, it falls over if there is no doctype declaration. Running a Batik command line application might use a properly configured parser factor. There might be other issues, SVG had set some nasty precedents by defining one or antoher important attribute default value in the DTD (in particular the SVG namespace declaration), though it is hard to see how a staand-alone Batik circumvents this.

No. Bad luck.
You can try to code some advanced magic into you XSLT so that you

Something like
xsl:variable name=total select=column/@width/
xsl:for-each select=column
xsl:choose
xsl:when test=$jfor
fo:table-column column-width={@width}%/
/xsl:when
xsl:otherwise
fo:table-column column-width=proportional-column-width({@width/$total})/
/xsl:otherwise
xsl:choose

Or you can create a FO for JFOR and use a the usual identity

FOP is able to process japanese characters. This doesn't mean you see glyphs for japanese characters in the PDF. In order to get this, you have to supply a font with appropriate glyphs to FOP. First, locate a font. If you have other applications on your platform which display japanese, look where the system stores fonts. Secont, you have to prepare a font metrics file and tell FOP to use it. This is described in the documentation in the FOP distribution: docs/html-docs/fonts.html. You are told to assign your font a name there. Third, construct a small FO file to test it. Declare some standard page master, and insert a block with japanese characters in the flow. Select the font you installed in step 2 using the font-family property (e.g. if you named it foo, declare font-family=foo on the block. Depending on your editor, you can insert the japanese characters directly into the FO file, or use XML character references.

That's not too bad but can be very misleading at times (for example, a headline probably has to be *mapped* to a fo:block too). Nested fo:blocks can be used by the transformation designer for pure technical reasons, for example to define certain properties for a longer stretch of text, without any corespondence to the structure of the original document. From this point of view, it has bee a very good idea to name a fo:block a block and not a paragraph. In the same sense, fo:table should probably have been named grid.

Chuck Paussa wrote: background-position applies to block-level and replaced elements (What are replaced elements?) This seems to be an odd artefact of not having checked everything. The background-position property is a shorthand for combinations of the background-position-(horizontal|vertical) stuff, which in turn apply, as noted there to everything to which background applies, which is, ugh, every element (7.29.1). This all sucks, you should report a spec bug to the editors (well, read the amendments, it could already be there...) I believe replaced meant floating elements and footnotes originally, but the point is moot anyway. max-widthmin-heightmin-width apply to all elements except non-replaced inline elements and table elements (What are non-replaced inline elements?) These properties are mapped to i-p-d or b-p-d, the constraints should be looked up there. It seems they cannot be determined statically, because both mapping and applicability seems to depend on the context, therefore the properties should probably allowed everywhere. position applies to all elements, but not to generated content (What is generated content?) Hmm, again, it's a shorthand for setting absolute-position and relative-position. The interesting point is that according to these properties, the settings static and relative make only sense for all block-level and inline-level FO, while the other two settings, absolute and fixed would only apply to block-container. It seems to follow that position applies to all block-level and inline-level FO elements. Again, looks like a spec bug. Confused? Me too!

Re: Border properties
Arved, thanks for the explanations. I still find it confusing that in the following (default western script) the left visible edges would not line up: fo:blockstuff/fo:block fo:block border-style=solid border-width=5mmMore stuff /fo:block In order to have it line up, the start-indent has to be set to 5mm. This, well, sucks. I'm pretty sure there are other who'll be confused too. Is this some CSS inheritance I have missed? I took a quick look at table.fo (the FO) and I think this will probably help out. I have to admit if there is one area of the spec that I am not particularly familiar with it is tables - in this case I don't think there is any weirdness involved stemming from table border properties. Well, table borders apparently are handled the same way as ordinary block borders, i experimented a bit. This appears to be consistent. The problem remains: Now, what is the problem bug 684 complains about? I still have no idea: is the problem fixed or not? For a start, I'm not quite sure what the problem reporter meant, because I've never seen tables.fo rendered by an older FOP version. I have to say it looks ok for me, but then I have missed important things before. J.Pietschmann - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Border properties
Hello, I tried to make something out of bug 684. Again, after reading the spec in depth, I'm nearly biting pieces off my keyboard. In the tables.fo examples, the left edge of the table content rectangle is the same as the edge of the reference area, and left border (should I use start edge border?) is tacked on so that it extends outside the reference area. The upper and lower border, however, do not overlap previous or following blocks, as expected. Well 4.4.1 says the start-edge of its allocation-rectangle ... offset from it inward by a distance equal to the block-area's start-indent plus its start-intrusion-adjustment (as defined below) minus its border-start, padding-start, and space-start values... given that the start-indent of the tables are zero (hopefully), the behaviour regarding the border extending left beyond the edge of the refernce area appears to be consistent with the spec, albeit IMO a bit counter-intuitive, because not consistent with what happens in BPD. Now, what is the problem bug 684 complains about? Does it mean the border in BPD should be handled similarly to what happens in IPD? Or does he mean something else? And, of course: is my understanding on how borders/padding should be handled resonable? I feel very confused. BTW what happens if both start-indent and margin-start were defined on the same block area? J.Pietschmann - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

PDF encryption
Hi all,
for the archives, I've written a small proof-of-concept
program which couples FOP and iText in order to provide
PDF encryption. Watermarking and everything else, possibly
even Henrik Holle's total page count problem, could be
done in a similar way.
Most of the iText code is directly copied from Lowagie's
enctryption utility.
Home page: http://www.lowagie.com/iText/
public static void main(String args[]) {
try {
ByteArrayOutputStream fopout=new ByteArrayOutputStream();
FileOutputStream outfile=new FileOutputStream(args[2]);
Driver driver =new Driver();
driver.setOutputStream(fopout);
driver.setRenderer(Driver.RENDER_PDF);
Transformer transformer=TransformerFactory.newInstance().newTransformer(new
StreamSource(new File(args[1])));
transformer.setParameter(page-count,#);
transformer.transform(new StreamSource(new File(args[0])), new
SAXResult(driver.getContentHandler()));
PdfReader reader = new PdfReader(fopout.toByteArray());
int n = reader.getNumberOfPages();
Document document = new Document(reader.getPageSizeWithRotation(1));
PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.getInstance(document, outfile);
writer.setEncryption(PdfWriter.STRENGTH40BITS, pdf, null,
PdfWriter.AllowCopy);
document.open();
PdfContentByte cb = writer.getDirectContent();
PdfImportedPage page;
int rotation;
int i = 0;
while (i n) {
i++;
document.setPageSize(reader.getPageSizeWithRotation(i));
document.newPage();
page = writer.getImportedPage(reader, i);
rotation = reader.getPageRotation(i);
if (rotation == 90 || rotation == 270) {
cb.addTemplate(page, 0, -1f, 1f, 0, 0,
reader.getPageSizeWithRotation(i).height());
}
else {
cb.addTemplate(page, 1f, 0, 0, 1f, 0, 0);
}
System.out.println(Processed page + i);
}
document.close();
}

There are a lot of properties. The easiest way is probably
to use XSLT parameters.
Declare global parameters in the XSL file:
xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl=... ...
xsl:param name=page-height/
xsl:param name=page-width/
and use them in the page-master
xsl:template match=/
...
fo:simple-page-master master-name=...
page-height={$page-height}
page-width={$page-width}
...
Look up details in the XSLT spec:
http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt
You can set values for the parameters from your Java code
by using the setParameter() method of your transformer:
transformer=factory.newTransformer(xsl);
transformer.setParameter(page-height,29.1cm);
transformer.setParameter(page-width,21.9cm);

Cleaning up bugzilla and next maintenance release
Hi committers, as you probably noticed, i started to rummage around in Bugzilla, searching for bugs still in existence and learning more about current and persistent problems. Apart from the keep-* problem there are the following issues: - Other unimplemented or incompletely implemented elements and attributes. In particular: o fo:table-and-caption because DocBook uses this o fo:inline-container o common properties of fo:inline o whitespace handling attributes o a few shorthands - Height/BPD of block elements other than table. - Padding for fo:block (and perhaps other block elements) - Margins for tables, if that's a bug (see recent posts) - Better error reporting, in particular: o Report structure violations properly (for example don't drop fo:table-rows which are not children of fo:table-(body|header|footer) silently) o Notify about attributes which shouldn't be there or are not implemented. Currently, this is horribly inconsistently handled. o A few more sensible messages for attributes that are missing. I think, if a master-reference is missing, claiming it has no proper value is misleading. - Link hotspots. I think i have some unique bug reports to contribute in addition to the respectable set already in place :-) - Text loss near fo:inline and -horror!- character references! - Image scaling. Not yet in Bugzilla, i think: - Problems with properties of hypenated words (many are only applied to the last part). - conditional-page-master last - Clipping (overflow=hide or something) Probably further down the ToDo list: - Better handling of forward ref page-number-citations (reformat line or something). Hopefully solvable locally. - Sensible algorithm to handle leader-length.maximum=100%, perhaps combined with point above. Should be localised to a line, therefore only moderatly hard. This is definitely a must have. - PDF extensions, like encrypting. Perhaps integration with some other project. I think i'll leave Bugzilla alone until the next bug summary next weekend. Questions: Will there be another maintenance release before something comes out of the redesign? If so, when? Roadmap? If so, which should be the problems solved? Pick from above or add whatever you think should be added. Further question: Is the duplicate id bug fixed in all its incarnations? Oops: The FAQ goes along slowly, as usual.

For the numbers: they indicate the strength of the keep condition, higher numbers mean greater strength. This is useful because long stretches of keep may have to be broken anyway. An example: fo:block keep-together=1 fo:block keep-together=3 /fo:block fo:block keep-together=5 /fo:block /fo:block If the span is too long to fit the available space (the page, for example), or there are other conditions which lead the renderer to the conclusion that there should be a break anyway (for example because large white areas look awful), the strenght of the keep-condition is used to determine your preferences for a break. In the example above, the renderer will first check whether a break between the two embedded blocks will be acceptable, because that's the keep whith the lowest precedence. If that fails, it will try to break within the first embedded block, and if this still fails, it will try the second. Does this help?

Re: Embedding FOP
Hans-Jürgen Wiesner wrote: Hello all, I'm new to FOP and are charged with embedding it in a Servlet application. We need to send a JSP as HTML or PDF, depending on the user. So we made a JSP which outputs valid XHTML and tried to convert that via FO into PDF. After much experimentation, I succeeded in installing a filter intercepting the JSP-Servlets output to convert it by calling FOP. The conversion works on the command line; however, I have great problems embedding FOP in my filter. It is usually not a good idea to use JSP to generate XML for further processing. Well, you can use a SAX event stream to overcome the unfortunate design of the XSLTInputHandler, look here: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=fop-userm=101735493205659w=2 This way you can supply an arbitrary XML source to your transformer. For generating the data, i suggest to look into writing your own SAX source. The basics are much easier than many people think: implement the javax.xml.parser.XMLReader interface, and if necessary provide your own implementation of an InputSource to provide run time parametrization. The next problem is that FOP doesn't convert when called from my filter. I get an exception from driver.render(); the logger tells me: INFO10191 [fop ] (): building formatting object tree DEBUG 10191 [fop ] (): setting up fonts ERROR 10191 [fop ] (): Unknown formatting object ^html Your transformation transforms your XML to XHTML. You have to write a transformation which transforms into XSLFO.

Re: AW: Multithreading FOP ?
Peter B. West wrote: Please indulge my ignorance again. May I assume that it is not possible to run two main()s in the same VM? Not in the sense you probably mean. From this discussion so far I have gained much more insight into the nervousness about statics. Is the problem that servers want to execute multiple instances of classes within the one VM? Are there other problems? The problem is multiple threads accessing static class data, which is really global. Well, the standard scenario is: There are multiple threads sleeping while waiting for requests. One thread wakes up, sets the FOP baseDir, creates a Driver instqance and starts rendering. Just before the thread is about to resolve an URI for an external graphic, it is suspended and another thread gets a chance to run, it reads its request, sets the global baseDir to soemthing else, and is itself suspended in favour for the first thread, which reads the now changed value for baseDir from the configuration, and explodes. It doesn't help to make the Driver methods synchronized, because there are two instances of the driver object :-( you would have to lock the global configuration data so that the second thread would have to wait until the first finishes processing. Of course, this nullifies the advantages of using multithreading, especially on MP machines. I like the approach JAXP did for transformers. You have a factory where you can set default stuff so that you don't have to do this every time an individual processor is created, and you can override settings on the individual instances. The individual processor instances never access global data after creation. Does this answer your question(s)?

Re: XSL - Unknown formatting object error
Shawn Bedard wrote: I have a newbie question concerning the XSL parsing in FOP. I think I have everything set up correctly because all the test work fine. However, I have a series of really simple xsl files that parse with other tools. First, get your nomenclature straight. An XSL file is an XML document, which is parsed by an XML parser. The XSLT processor stores/compiles this into something which will be used to control a transformation. This transformation is applied to an input tree, generated by an XML parser from an input XML document, and produces a result tree, which could be serialized into a result document. FOP is something different from an XSLT processor (or an XML parser) FOP uses and XML source with som special vocabulary, XSLFO, and produces a rendered version in a Java widget or in some other file format, like PDF. It is common to produce the input for FOP, XSLFO, by an XSL transformation. The FOP command line application allows you either to supply an input FO and some output format, or you can supply an input XML, an XSLT file which describes the transformation from the input XML vocabulary into FOs, and some output format description as in the first case. Xalan is an XSLT processor which is used by default by FOP to execute the transformation in the second case. [ERROR]: Unknown formatting object ^html This means you are not generating the FO vocabulary FOP expects, but HTML instead. What am I doing wrong? The input for FOP, XSLFO files, is a quite different beast the HTML. Try the following XSL file, it will generate a very simple XSLFO from your XML file: ?xml version=1.0? xsl:stylesheet version=1.0 xmlns:xsl=http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform; xmlns:fo=http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format; xsl:template match=/ fo:root xmlns:fo=http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format; fo:layout-master-set fo:simple-page-master master-name=simple page-height=29.7cm page-width=21cm fo:region-body/ /fo:simple-page-master /fo:layout-master-set fo:page-sequence master-reference=simple fo:flow flow-name=xsl-region-body fo:block font-size=24pt text-align=centerGreeting/fo:block fo:blockWords of greeting:/fo:block fo:block font-weight=bold font-style=italic text-decoration=underline xsl:value-of select=greeting/ /fo:block /fo:flow /fo:page-sequence /fo:root /xsl:template /xsl:stylesheet Is there some special xslt standard that I don't know about. Not XSLT, but XSL :-) Even if someone could provide me with some references and links concerning xslt sample for FOP that would be great. You have to differentiate between XSLT, which governs transformations, and XSLFO, which describes layout/formatting. You use XSLT to transform your input XML into various other stuff, for example HTML or XSLFO. You have to use different XSLT templates for different output.

The src attribute of the fo:external-graphics element takes an URI as a value. Relative URIs are resolved against the baseDir configuration setting. The command line app by default uses the current working directory as baseDir. You can also set it in the userconfig.xml file. If you are using the command line, be sure either to start it from the proper directory, or tell it to use a userconfig.xml with an appropriate setting. If you are using FOP embedded in some other application, for example in a servlet, the baseDir is usually uninitialized. The symptom is a ...NotFound exception with a URI that starts with (null). You can set the baseDir in such a situation: String baseDir = url path to base; Configuration.put(baseDir, baseDir); You can also set baseDir in the userconfig.xml and use it: options = new Options(new File(path to userconfig.xml); Yes, thats all, no further reference to the options variable necessary.
