------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2004-08-31 18:44 ------- Thanks for the new patch. I could apply it without problems, and testing it goes well.
You mention that you have not implemented the Knuth algorithm for ContentLM. Would it be difficult to do that?
FOP team,
If I would apply this patch, we would get the following regressions:
- ContentLM does not show its content. A leader with leader-pattern="use-content" results in a blank area of the right size.
Doesnt sound like it will be difficult to fix after the patch is applied.
- When for an exceptionally difficult paragraph no set of breaking points can be found, the whole paragraph is printed on a single line. This occurs, for example, when in a narrow typesetting width only a single word or a part of it fits in a line.
I would think that strange effects like this are possible today. Can you see what the output would look like in such a scenario with the current code?
I am working towards applying this patch despite these regressions, for these reasons:
- This patch is a good piece of work, and a step forward for FOP's layout.
Agreed.
- It becomes increasingly hard to maintain this patch outside of CVS.
I know how you feel. I found it hard work before when I examined Luca's earlier Knuth patch.
