[ANN:] FOA 0.6.0 an introduction to single-source Multi-Channel P ublishing
Hello, FOA (Formatting Object Authoring tool) http://foa.sourceforge.net has a new release: 0.6.0. The major feature of this new release is the Multi-Channel Publishing capabilities. Author once and publish on multiple channels. FOA automatically generates a vesion of the XSL-T for Web publishing. This means that you can just create an XSL-T to create FO documents and FOA will automatically generate a derived one for the Web (in HTML) mantaining the overall look feel. Also every change you apply to the FO based XSL-T will be automatically reflected to the HTML version, in this way you have to mantain just one XSL-T and derive the others. List of features: - Single Source Muli-Channel Publishing - Print - Web - Variable Sets and Parameters - FO and Rendering using Makefiles - Brick Matching Inspection - Export Style Sets into CSS Best Regards, Fabio Giannetti CC: W3C XSL-FO, FOP DEV, Yahoo XSL-FO

RE: Triggering WH2FO from inside Word(R)
Hi Enrico, the problem with Word 97 is related to the fact that the produced HTML doesn't contain all the extra information needed for the pagination and flow control. So WH2FO will not be able to extract those information to generate the correct page-masters and page-sequences. I don't know anything about html2fo converter, but if someone is interested to create a macro it will be usefull to have support for multiple tools. Unfortunately I'm not a VBA expert :-)) so I must rely on someone Fabio -Original Message- From: Enrico Schnepel [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 18 March 2002 20:58 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Triggering WH2FO from inside Word(R) Hello Matthias, I think it is a good idea to extend word with macros like this. The macro should be developed at least with word 97 for compatiblity and should be configureable that an other version or an other converter like html2fo runs to do the job. There should be an option for use htmltidy for preformating / correcting word 97 output. Regards Enrico Am Montag, 18.

RE: XML Area Tree and Logic Tree renderer for FOP
Hi Keiron, I know of this changes ... BTW the stuff that I'd like to see maintained into the new area tree is a reference to the FO that generate the area (generatedBy methond) and the same for the page-sequences and pages. I guess that at the moment will be better for FOA to distribute a customized version of FOP and then, when the new area tree is ready I will write the new XMLPrintRenderer.

In the current cvs I am working on the area tree and the xml rendering output. The output is written in such a way that the xml can be read back and an area tree constructed. It is then possible to render the new area tree to any of the renders. This will help with testing renders and the area tree. I appreciate your effort, I think it would be helpful to get the current cvs (note: nothing else works) and help us work from there. The idea is to create a set of xml files that describe various area trees and properties and then write all the renders to work with the area trees. Keiron.

RE: XSl-FO question
Hi Scott, you can generate your own namespace with a field that tells you if that block is containing a data, then when FOP will process the document it will ignore this property .. giving you some Warnings, but the file will be rendered fine. So you can define a new namespace like: xmlns:foo=http://foo" then you can define this attributes in your blocks that contains the data fo:block foo:data="yes" and modify only them. Hope this helps, Fabio -Original Message-From: Scott Moore [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]Sent: 23 October 2001 16:12To: Fop-Dev (E-mail)Subject: XSl-FO question This question isn't really about FOP, but FO.

During the concatenation process, I need to find all the dates throughout the different reports and update them to the current date. Is there an easy way to mark a fo:block as containing a date string? I tried using the id="date" attribute, but you can't use that multiple times per document.

RE: Extracting image embeddede in XMLfile using XSL????????
Hi,
a possible solution is:
xsl:template match=img
fo:external-graphic src={@src}
xsl:apply-templates/
/fo:external-graphic
/xsl:template
this works for XSL-FO, for HTML will became:
xsl:template match=img
img src={@src}
xsl:apply-templates/
/img
/xsl:template
Fabio
PS: if you write xsl:template match=//img this will transform all the
img tags inside your document into anchors or fo:external-graphics

There is a substantial difference between a block with relative position and a block-container with abs-pos=auto and is related to the kind of generate areas ... the block will generate a normal flow area and the block-container a static one, so if you specify also a size the content will be truncated if it is too long. Back to the block case if the content is too long will flow into a new page starting from the beginning of the region body. It sounds clear ? I hope so ...
