Re: Retrieve-marker problem. Can anyone help with wrapper workaround?
John:
Here is my marker code (FOP 0.20.3):
!--parse out the markers--
fo:inline font-size=7pt color=black font-weight=normal
white-space-collapse=true
xsl:for-each select=@*[starts-with(name(.),'marker__')]
fo:inlinefo:marker
marker-class-name={name(.)}xsl:value-of
select=.//fo:marker/fo:inline
/xsl:for-each
/fo:inline
!--parse out the markers--
The inner inline was to fix the fo:marker must be an initial child,and
'marker-class-name' must be unique for same parent messages. The for
loop is because I have multiple dynamically generated markers in a given
area.
Hope this helps.

|Subject: Retrieve-marker problem. Can anyone help with wrapper
workaround?|
---|
I am trying to use maker and retrieve-marker to put the title of the
current chapter into the header of my documents.
I have this working BUT the formatting of the chapter title in the header
is the same as where the marker is i.e. Large
and Bold, appropriately for the title of a chapter bit not for a running
header.
I know this is a known problem with fop (I am using 0.20.5 by the way).
However, in the mailing list archive I saw amongst the messages dealing
with this problem one from Andreas L. Delmelle saying:
Oh, another detail: there's a nasty bug with markers that renders them with
the same properties as the region/block where they are defined, so to make
it work correctly, you have to add an fo:wrapper around the marker to set
the font-size/-weight etc. to the same values they have in the static
content...
For more info: check the examples for markers that came with FOP
(FOP_HOME/examples/fo/markers)
---
I think I have probably misunderstood what Andreas means.
What I did was to have
fo:block use-attribute-set=chapter-heading !-- sets 20 point, bold
font --
fo:wrapper use-attribute-set=headers-footers !-- sets 8 point light
--
fo:marker marker-class-name=chapterIntroduction/fo:marker
/fo:wrapper
But while that meant the header was in the correct font etc., the chapter
title was then very small.
Is there a workaround for this situation?
Best Wishes

This solution will also do the trick, but...
Be careful with fo:inline's. As I recall, in FOP 0.20.X fo:wrapper's still
treated the same way as fo:inline, but according to the spec fo:inline
generates areas of itself --thus an fo:wrapper seems to be more appropriate
here (well actually... 'nothing' seems to be even more appropriate, but you
can't win 'em all ;-) )

Re: Retrieve-marker problem. Can anyone help with wrapper workaround?
Andreas Thanks very much! Putting the marker in a wrapper in an otherwise empty block stopped it appearing, and had it correctly formatted in the footer. I've looked again at what was happening before and you're quite right - the Chapter didn't appear. I'm afraid I had misunderstood fo:marker and assumed it took a copy of the text inside that would also be shown in the flow and that was what I saw, rather than what was actually in front of my eyes. My apologies, and once again thanks very much indeed! John - Original Message - From: Andreas L.

IIC, then the text placed under fo:marker shouldn't be visible anywhere except when there is a corresponding fo:retrieve-marker that retrieves it --at least that's the way it currently works for me, and how it's defined in the spec: The fo:marker does not directly produce any area. Its children may be retrieved and formatted from within an fo:static-content, using an fo:retrieve-marker... Currently, FOP maintenance version only has a problem with the '...and formatted...' part. The rest seems to be handled quite OK. Greetz, Andreas - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
