page-breaking strategies and performance

I finally have Knuth's "Digital Typography" and let myself enlighten by his well-written words. In [1] Simon outlined different strategies for page-breaking, obviously closely following the different approaches defined by Knuth. At first glance, I'd say that "best-fit" is probably the obvious strat

Skype-conference on page-breaking?

To speed things up could we hold a conference (using Skype, for example) to discuss further details on page-breaking? I'd volunteer to sum up any results during that discussion for the archives. I have Finn on my Skype radar already. Jeremias Maerki

Re: [XML Graphics - FOP Wiki] Updated: PageLayout

Simon, I've tried to think your example through. If I read the spec right about space resolution then I get the impression that we may need to do more in this area than find a suitable box/glue/penalty combination. There may be several spaces which need to be taken into account during resolution. T

Maybe I could hook you into a Skype conference by using SkypeOut. It's pretty cheap to call to the Netherlands. According to the FAQ this is possible. On 01.03.2005 22:26:50 Simon Pepping wrote: > On Tue, Mar 01, 2005 at 03:09:46PM +0100, Jeremias Maerki wrote: > > To speed things up could we hold

Re: cvs commit: xml-fop/src/java/org/apache/fop/fo/flow TableBody.java

OH!!! Yes, you're right, Chris--now I see the issue. I implemented validation for about 80% of the FOs, but 80% is not 100%. fo:table-body never had any validation implemented, hence the NPE's that were occurring. Sorry, Jeremias, I thought you had just gratuitously *removed* the validatio
