Positioning of a table
Hi, does anyone know how to position tables in the region-body? If I try to add a start-indent in the fo:table tag, the content of the cells shifts but not the table position. I saw examples using block-containers but that seem to require absolute positioning. I was thinking of something more like html where you can align a table by specifying an align attribute. Any examples of workable constructs would be appreciated.

Re: Debugging FOP
There's obviously something going wrong in the XML parser. Here's a list of things that come to my mind: - Check if the standard FOP examples work correctly. If yes, there might be a problem with your fo file. - Open the fo in one or two XML editors to see if it gets parsed correctly. - Search the Internet for similar the same NPE. - Switch your XML parser (even if you just use another version of the same) - Get the source code of the XML parser and try to track down the cause of the exception using the line numbers in the stacktrace. - Try to set everything up in your IDE and set an exception breakpoint for java.lang.NullPointerException. I hope this helps. On 23.04.2002 06:41:23 Patrick Lanphier wrote: How does one debug this? Thank much for your help.

Re: Positioning of a table
That's an FAQ. Try to use blind tables (like many do it in HTML). You can easily embed a table in a table-cell.

Re: Do Fop have problems with keep-with-...?
Steinar Bang [EMAIL PROTECTED]: J.Pietschmann [EMAIL PROTECTED]: [snip!] If you are generating FO from DocBook, this will probably be hard, or harder. You can try to fiddle with the docbook style sheets to achieve this effect. Some workaround around those lines, is what I will try tomorrow. What I did was to put beginpage/ elements at appropriate places in the DocBook XML source, to force line breaks _before_ the problematic sections. This is a hack, because it is vulnerable to changes to the XML source. But it is less ugly than the other hacks on the table, and I'll remove the beginpage/ elements when Fop supports keep-*. I noticed that the DocBook XSL style sheets didn't have a template for beginpage, so I put the following in my local FO-producing style sheet: xsl:template match=beginpage fo:block break-after=page/ /xsl:template
Font-Smoothing of embedded SVG in fop
Hi all! don´t know if this is of topic, but i´ve got svg graphics embedded in fo by fo:foreign-object. on the one hand i use this to rotate the text on the other to insert chart-graphics. the problem is that the fonds i use in the svg aren´t displayed with font-smoothing in Acrobat Reader. the question can this be done and, if yes, how? thanks in anticipation Sam

tables on multiple pages (excel style)
Hi there, I got some weird problem to solve: I need to display a table 2 pages wide and n high. O.k. the table height is no problem a FOP continues the table on the next page, but is there some kind of solution to make it 2 pages wide, without cutting (splitting) it manually. Any ideas?

PNG files and Jimi
I'm using fop 0.20.3, and I've read the previous posts regarding png support. I downloaded Jimi from Sun, put the com directory into a jar file (no jar file included with the Jimi download), put the jar file into my lib directory, and rebuilt fop. Unfortunately, I still cannot seem to get png files to work with fop (using fo:external-graphic). Has anyone got this working with 0.20.3? If so, is there anything I'm missing? I get an error of: Error while creating area : Error creating FopImage object (Error creating FopImage object (http://www.domain.com/pngimage.png) : org.apache.fop.image.JimiImage Thanks in advance.

Both content-height and content-width are not mentioned in docs/html-docs/implemented.html and seem to be commented out in the source. It appears that height and width could serve your purpose, try them. J.Pietschmann

Technically, the table overflows the available box space. Overflowing stuff could be clipped, drawn outside the box if possible or may be handled in a user agent specific manner, usually interpreted as scrolling. There doesn't appear to be a provision to spill vertically overflowing stuff onto the next page. Basically, this means you have to resort to manually splitting the table. J.Pietschmann
