Oh, I see. You might be able to use margin instead, if you dont have borders

on the cells, then the spacing effect between text should appear the same.

The problem is that I am trying to put a background color for the header

Are you defining the background color on the cell on the block within the 
cell? Please provide a snippet of your XSL-FO.

This is your problem. You need to specify background-color on the cell
instead 
of the block. That way the whole cell will have the background color, and
not 
just the block, whose length may not fill up the row height, as youve 
discovered. E.g.

fo:table-cell padding=2pt text-align=left 
background-color=#fffo:block 
font-size=10ptDate/fo:block/fo:table-cell

One problem I notice is that you do not have fo:table-column 
column-width=XXcm /. You can see an example of a complete table 
here:

http://xml.apache.org/fop/faq.html#keep-with

I don't know if it's a problem but there was a lot of extra white space 
in the table-body. Whitespace is OK, but perhaps there's a bad 
character in there?

Hope this helps!

Hi,
The xsl:apply-templates/ in the xsl:template match=Report should be 
replaced with xsl:apply-templates select=R/.
If not, extra text can be added to fo:table-body (due to default xslt rules)

RE: Table Header problem

[Pascal Sancho]

Hi,
Your fo output seems to be correct (except that there is no fo:table-column, 
witch are required by fop to set column width)
It could be a wrong transformation (ie there is no table-header or table-body 
markup in your xml source file).
(I suppose that your example is expected result, but not actual output)

RE: image in table header overlapping table body -- possible ? [additional info]

[Roland Neilands]

  Use nested tables:
 
 That is what i tried yesterday, too. Thanks anyway.
 It's a solution to get the image in the first header of the table. But i
 still end up with the problem having it repeated after a page break.
 The text header will be repeated as there is data in its table-body being
 continued after the page break. But there is no data in the table-body that
 belongs to the image header so there is no reason for FOP to repeat the
 header (the image) on the next page.

So put a single cell in the body beneath the image.
Put a blank image or a non-breaking space(#160;) in it to force it to appear.

Cheers,
Roland

 I need to build a table with a header line containing an image and a single
 line of text. The problem is the image beeing to high to fit into the header
 line which causes the header line to be resized vertically to match the
 height of the image.
 
 But i need the image to overflow the bottom of the header line (leaving its
 height unchanged) so that it flows right into the body area. The problem is
 that the overflow property isn't supported yet and a number-rows-spanned
 does not seem to work here because header and body rows obviously cannot be
 mixed.
 
 
 I try to draw what i want to get (view with fixed-width font):
 
 
 
 xsl-fo-area   /  in PDF it should look like that
 __/
   /
   /
   /  +-+
 table-header  /  | |   Some header text ...
   /  | header- |
   /  |  image  |   first row of table-body
   /  | |   second row of table-body
 table-body/  +-+   third row of table-body
   /  .
   /  .
   /  .
   /  .
   /
 
 
 (i hope that makes my problem clear)
 
 
 As i generate the fo code and the PDF at runtime from different data in a
 database, there may occur page breaks cutting the table into several pieces
 and the header absolutely has to appear above each piece.
 I also tried to use position=relative with the top and left properties set
 but did not get it working although i am sure this should work with the
 actual version. Mabe i just don't see the forest for the trees ...
 
 Does anyone have an idea of how to achieve this?
 I would really appreciate any hint.
 
 Thanks in advance,
 Roland

Cool! There goes my attempt ... :)

 line of text. The problem is the image beeing to high to fit into the header
 line which causes the header line to be resized vertically to match the
 height of the image.
 
 But i need the image to overflow the bottom of the header line (leaving its
 height unchanged) so that it flows right into the body area. The problem is
 that the overflow property isn't supported yet and a number-rows-spanned
 does not seem to work here because header and body rows obviously cannot be
 mixed.
 
 
 I try to draw what i want to get (view with fixed-width font):
 
 
 
 xsl-fo-area   /  in PDF it should look like that
 __/
   /
   /
   /  +-+
 table-header  /  | |   Some header text ...
   /  | header- |
   /  |  image  |   first row of table-body
   /  | |   second row of table-body
 table-body/  +-+   third row of table-body
   /  .
   /  .
   /  .
   /  .
   /
 
 
 (i hope that makes my problem clear)
 
 
 As i generate the fo code and the PDF at runtime from different data in a
 database, there may occur page breaks cutting the table into several pieces
 and the header absolutely has to appear above each piece.
 I also tried to use position=relative with the top and left properties set
 but did not get it working although i am sure this should work with the
 actual version. Mabe i just don't see the forest for the trees ...
 
 Does anyone have an idea of how to achieve this?
 I would really appreciate any hint.
 
 Thanks in advance,
 Roland

 Roland,

 Use nested tables:

That is what i tried yesterday, too. Thanks anyway.
It's a solution to get the image in the first header of the table. But i
still end up with the problem having it repeated after a page break.
The text header will be repeated as there is data in its table-body being
continued after the page break. But there is no data in the table-body that
belongs to the image header so there is no reason for FOP to repeat the
header (the image) on the next page.
And with this problem in mind i come to the idea of Andreas.

 I see a remote possiblity in performing some XSL trickery (resting on the
 assumption that the rows in the table body are generated by XML elements).
 If you define a row height globally in your stylesheet, as well as the
 region-body height... You know in advance how many rows will fit on a
 page... ( $regbh div $rowh ).

And here we have my next problem ...
There occur line breaks in the rows (mostly generated within FOP caused by
hyphenation), that i cannot calculate that easy. Therefore i cannot set a
fixed row height and i do not know how many rows there will be on a page. I
tried to calculate these linebreaks according to the amount of text in the
fields but that's quite dirty (and not completely functioning at all ...)

 For the moment, however, it's the closest thing to a solution I can come
up
 with...

I agree.

I think i will try to get some other things working first and come back to
this one next week. Sometimes a weekend of doing nothing helps more than
days of thinking ;-)

Thanks to both of you and have a nice weekend,
Roland

Aaah... you *don't* need the image repeated across pages.

 The text header will be repeated as there is data in its table-body being
 continued after the page break. But there is no data in the
 table-body that

So, the image would actually belong to the table-body, and only the text
belongs to table-header (? correct?).
In that case my proposal could work, if it were not for the complication
described below.

Very dirty indeed... Imagine having to deal with a situation like this and
having to base your calculations on the metrics of the particular font being
used. (for fixed-width fonts this would be a bit less complicated since you
can just take the number of chars and multiply that by the charwidth).

 I think i will try to get some other things working first and come back to
 this one next week. Sometimes a weekend of doing nothing helps more than

Very wise indeed!

Try the following (for example):

in the simple-page-master, set the margin-top for the region body to the
height of the one line containing 'Some Header Text' --depending on the
font-size of the text, of course.
Then set the height of the region-before to be greater than the margin-top
just defined (roughly equivalent to the height of the image).

This way your region-before will actually overlap the region-body by
(region-body-margin-top - region-before-height).

(This trick has often been advised as a workaround for adding watermarks, so
I guess the result would be that the header-image actually ends up being
overwritten by the content of the region-body --if any... So if you make
sure the first rows have no content at all in the first columns, this should
actually work.)


Hope this helps!

Re: image in table header overlapping table body -- possible ? [additional info]

[Roland Schroth]

I think your idea could work if i had only one table starting at the top of
the page.

   But (sorry that i did not mention that) i have a sequence of tables of
   different lengths that therefore also may start in the middle of a page.
   There are tables being only a few rows long an others spanning 2 or 3
   pages. So i need something that will work for that case too.

Anyway, thanks for your quick response.

I don't know. There are people around more knowledgable about the XSL-FO
specs who can probably answer that.

 The latter is used by CSS, and I could not find this specific topic in the
 FO spec.

Neither could I. But XSL-FO often refers to CSS. So maybe you're right.

 Is this a PDF limitation? I becomes important for thick borders of
 different colors, when trying to simulate a 3d-effect. ( or 3-deffect :-)

Not a PDF limitation. More an implementation detail. Something that
eventually needs to be fixed, maybe.

Corner drawing (Was: Spurious space between table-header and table header.)

[jaccoud]

Hmm. PDF specs do not matter here. If some FO construct can't be rendered
in PDF, it should be marked as so. I don't think this is the case with
table borders. It is just complicated per se. The gap seems to be a
miscalculation of the header height, because it is excatly the same width
as the top-border. As to defining only cell borders, it is of course
feasable, but you have to write separate templates for each cell -- I just
took the easier way to avoid needlessly complicating the XSLT. Knowing what
is going on, and what to avoid, there are multiple ways to get around the
bug.
As to the misalignment, it is a side-effect of the boerder-collapse. I
tried separate, as Jeremias sugested, and things got clearer.

hey waddya know... tried this : removed the border defs from the
header  voila
no gap and no misalignment.

downside is u have to define the top  bottom borders for all cells
in
the row as a workaround ( 'till the row borders are implemented )

[added]
anyway, i would definitely use the table-header as an element
containing no border atts  leave these either in the table itself (
for outer borders) or the individual cells (in the absence of an
implementation for the row borders... and come to think of it :
what about column borders? - let's try ;-) )
just try to avoid, as much as possible, any borders that are
defined multiple times.
defining both left  right in the table (or the header) as well as
in the cells seems to 'push' the extent of the left  right borders
of the outer borders a little ( exactly half of the width
of the inner border if i'm correct; vaguely remember
reading sth about this in the pdf-filespec ).
the content area rectangles for table, body and header match
in width. defining border-top-* atts in table affects only the
header. defined in table-header border-top-width also affects
width of table-body, border-style of table-body is not explicitly
set though...
the content area rectangles of the cells are on the 'inside' -
but what's the inside of a border of zero width? -
of the table (either in the header or the body) which would
explain the mysterious gap  the misalignment in this way :

border-top-width from table or table-header is 'inherited' by
table-body, border-top-style however, is not.
= gap = border-top-width without -style :-)

border-left-width from table-cell pushes the outer
left border slightly, creating the misalignment that 'only' appears
in the upper row (actually it happens in the second as well, which
gets enlightened by adding some colour. if i am not mistaken,
the same process takes place between the individual cells
- - - try leaving some out, see what it does)
and why don't we see the same misalignment at the bottom?
because

Try processing the attached fo. Although there is no specification of space

Hmm, looks like a bug. I'm sure Jörg knows all about it and I didn't pay
attention again. :-) Funny thing is that the gap between table-header
and table-body is exactly the width of the border-top-width. Change that
value and you change the gap.

Work-around:
- Remove the border-top-* on the table-header
- Add these border-top attributes to table instead.

I hope this helps.

Re: table header on consecutive pages

[Clay Leeds]

Michael,

I don't know if this'll help, but I recall seeing somewhere that borders
on cells are not supported at smaller than 1pt. I have tried this, and
found that PDF handles it differently (displays at .5pt) than AWT/print
(either ignores or draws 1pt). In any case that was with fop-0.20.4 and
I don't know if anything's changed for 0.20.5, 5rc2, etc.

BTW, you don't indicate important and relevant pieces of your case: your
platform (Win, Unix, Mac OS, etc.), version of FOP, version of JAVA.
These may be a factor.

 member contents (see below) of this column is printed - any hints what
 I'm doing wrong? I do the following...
 
  snip
 fo:layout-master-set
 fo:simple-page-master master-name=simpleA4 page-height=29.7cm
 page-width=21cm margin-top=2cm margin-bottom=2cm margin-left=2cm
 margin-right=2cm
 fo:region-before region-name=header/
 fo:region-body region-name=tableheading/
 fo:region-after region-name=footer/
 /fo:simple-page-master
 /fo:layout-master-set
  snip
 fo:flow flow-name=tableheading
 fo:block font-size=10pt space-before=2cm

 Thanks in advance and maybe you should know that I'm a beginner but I
 think you'll see this from my code!?

spanning rows create a page with just the table header

[Louis . Masters]

I ran into the following issue:  If my spanned rows stay on one page, they
work as desired.  If the data in the spanned rows is very long and it
forces the rows onto a new page, I get the correct two pages, BUT they are
preceded by a page that just has the table headers.  For example:

Working Scenario (single page, A  D are spanned):

Page 1
|Head1|Head2  |Head3  |Head4|
|A|B  |C  |D|
| |B  |C  | |
| |B  |C  | |
| |B  |C  | |
| |B  |C  | |
| |B  |C  | |


Not-working scenario (should be two pages, A  D are spanned):

Page 1
|Head1|Head2  |Head3  |Head4|

Page 2
|Head1|Head2  |Head3  |Head4|
|A|B  |C  |D|
| |B  |C  | |
| |B  |C  | |
| |B  |C  | |
| |B  |C  | |
| |B  |C  | |

Page 3
|Head1|Head2  |Head3  |Head4|
| |B  |C  | |
| |B  |C  | |

Is this fixed in a later version of FOP?

problem with table header

[Mihael Knezevic]

hi,

i got a little problem with table rendering.

my problem:

i have a table with a header row. as i dynamically generate the content
of the headers i don't know how long the text for the header will be. so
i sometimes get a very long header, which breaks into a second header
row. now i would like to generally make the header 2 rows wide. how do i
do this? i tried the attribute number-rows-spanned but it didn't work
(could also be my mistake). is it supported by fop?

if it is supported, could someone give a small example?

thanx in advance.

I don't understand. Table rows have to be put into the table
explicitely, therefore a long header (whatever you mean with
this) will never break into a second header row. I guess
you got a header table cell with two lines, which is something
different.
Row spanning is implemented, but you can't span more than one
table row if there is only one.
Can you reformulate your question and perhaps show a small
snippet of your FO code demonstrating your current approach?

RE: problem with table header

[Mihael Knezevic]

sorry for my poor explanation of my problem.

you are right with your assumption that i set explicitly the header and
that it won't break into a second row but in a second line in the same
cell. i wasn't that clear to me 'till now.

but the problem remains: i got different table header height because it
sometimes needs one and sometimes two lines for the header.

is there a possibility to say that i want the header (table cell from
header) as high as two lines (relativ or absolut value) so that there
all will look alike?

You can set the height property on the fo:table-row in the header.
As a rule of thumb, use twice the font size, for example
height=2*12pt. You can alos use one of the property functions
to retrive the current font size, look it up in the XSL spec.

 There is no way to specify double underline. As usual, this has to be
 substituted with a graphic. This is hard to do in general, but there are
 tricks for several special cases. If you want to double undderline a

Table headers are supported by FOP. You probably got the problem that
fo:table-and-caption is not supported. Just use plain fo:table. Look
into the FOP examples for some sample code.

Table header and footer and page break

[Philippe Chaléat]

I asked a similar question some days ago... But not nobody answered on this
particular point.

Say I want it to have this kind of printing (needed for example for invoice
printing) :

  line1 a
  line2 b
  line3 c
--
  Last line in this page is line3

- PAGE BREAK -

  Last line in previous page was line3
--
  line4 d
  line5 e
  line6 f

Is there an acceptable solution to this using XSL-FO ?

Thanks Philippe

If you don't mind Last line... text to be in region-after, not in table 
footer as you asked before, you can do it using markers. Take a look at 
docs/examples/markers folder within fop distribution for example of usage.

Re: table-header and retrieve-marker

[Keiron Liddle]

Retrieve marker is only allowed in static regions, so no you cannot use
it in a table header or footer to do that.

 For example, how I can achieve this with a table in region-body :
 
   line1 a
   line2 b
   line3 c

   Last line in this page is line3

No, An fo:retrieve-marker is only permitted as the descendant of an

Re: Table header.

[Chuck Paussa]

Olivier,
The quick answer is No. But there are people wanting to write an 
extension function to do this.

What you can do is return the page number that the table sits on within 
the page sequence in which the table sits. So, if you can do without 
page numbers on your output, you can create a new page sequence for each 
table, set the initial-page-number = 1, and then return the page number 
(Code attached)

Si you can have a header that displays on the first page:

Table important (2)
and on the third page
Table important (3)
