RE: blind tables

This

I had 
a  around my first piece of content (a table). I removed this, so 
nesting the table directly.

  Hi,
   
  I noticed the 
  processing instruction to "page-break if less than X inches left" is 
  not implemented. Therefore I am trying to use "blind tables" to keep two 
  pieces of content together.  
   
  However this 
  doesn't seem to be working - if you render the attached document to PDF 
  you will see that the instrument varbiage is on page 1 and the related 
  data is on page 2. The two pieces of content are themselves tables, so 
  I'm wondering if this is allowed.
   
  Does anyone know 
  what I'm doing wrong? 
   
  I notice 
  bug#7241 looks similar but this talks about it working for the first page 
  break - but it doesn't even do that for me.
   
  thx.

TI tables shouldn't be much more difficult. As for the fixed
column width: this is indeed a problem, you might have to

tei tables -> fo -> pdf through fop

[Eric Lease Morgan]

Does anybody here have experience converting TEI tables -> FO -> PDF 
using fop?

I am (slowly) marking up sets of etexts in TEI/XML. I plan to provide 
full-text searching against the collection and disseminated the whole 
thing in various ebook formats. You can see what have done so far here:

  http://infomotions.com/alex2/
I have written various xslt stylesheets to convert my TEI to HTML, 
SHTML, and plain text. My stylesheet to convert TEI to FO has hit a 
roadblock when it comes to tables. It only seems to support fixed-width 
cells and wants to know exactly how many columns there will be in each 
table. Given the wide variety of table types I am to encounter, this 
seem rather limiting. I am having a tough time writing a TEI -> FO 
stylesheet that FOP can use. I'm getting desperate, and I'm about to

Does anybody here convert their TEI files into PDF documents, and if 
so, how do you handle table data?

Users help users by using the Wiki (was: HTML Tables converted to FO Tables)

[Jeremias Maerki]

The topic about converting HTML to PDF comes up every now and then. I've
set up an initial page in our Wiki for this and hope that people
interested in this topic will add their ideas and tips to this page:

http://wiki.apache.org/xmlgraphics-fop/HowTo_2fHtmlToPdf

Editing this page is easy. Just register a username by clicking
"UserPreferences" in the upper left corner and then edit the page.
Documentation about the Wiki is available by clicking on "HelpContents".

Of course, you can also add additional pages to the Wiki to document
other topics. The FOP team might take content that's created on the Wiki
over into the main FOP website thus improving the overall documentation.

Everyone is invited to participate. Please share your experiences and
your ideas!

HTML Tables converted to FO Tables

I'm hoping that someone has already solved this problem...

HTML  as its content.
--- If I save the HTML content to a file and open it in a browser, the 
browser very nicely formats the table with, I suspect, some

--- Since FO requires that you explicitly specify the column-width of 
each column in a table I suppose that my XSL file needs to do something

Has anyone written an XSL file to create FO tables from HTML tables?

Trouble Shooting Tables

[Luke Shannon]

I have several complex layouts that are table based. Right now a few on them
don't produce the desired output. There are no errors. I can only assume
that there are problems in my table structure.

Are there any tricks or tips anyone can offer for working through table
related issues?

Thanks,

What I want to happen is basically, for-each select="field", if
 has a  and the next  also has a value, have 4

This obviously will not work, because XSLT does not allow variables to

This works great.  Based on my understanding of the XSLT parsers, this
is pretty memory intensive, as applying "following-sibling::field[1]"
actually passes the remaining  nodes in  every time,
leaving a lot of stuff in the stack. Is that correct?

At any rate, any ideas on a better way to do this?  (Other than a SAX

[JBryant]

Couple things: First, I'd dump this topic on the XSL list. Those folks 
love this kind of question, and they are good at helping with this kind of 
issue. Second, I'd look at making a key to hold the 
field-that-has-a-value-and-whose-next-sibling-has-a-value combos. Then, 
rather than read the whole document, the processor would read the key. If 
it works, that should reduce memory usage and increase performance.

RE: Question about full page tables

[Jon Steeves]

Thanks Andreas.  That worked perfectly.

I have one other problem.  The way make it so that the items print 3 across is 
by putting the following inside a "for" loop (the code has been stripped down 
to make it more legible):

  

  

   
 

 

   
 



   
  

I use "apply-templates" for the row X, col 1 item, but I have to use "value-of" 
on the second and third items in the row.

This is satisfactory for getting the text, but there are some formatting tags 
within the  tags which are implemented when I use "apply-templates" but 
which are ignored by "value-of". 

 What I would really like to use is something like:



but it doesn't work, because xslfo won't let me create a template of the form

  
  


as following-sibling:: is not allowed within "match"s attribute value.

Anybody have any ideas what I can do here.

Cheers

Jon

IIUC, the best way to solve this is by setting the row-height explicitly to the 
height necessary for the item with the largest content. If the row that 
contains the largest item is actually 20mm in height, set them all to 20mm, like

Use the 'display-align' property on the individual fo:table-cells to make sure 
the smaller items are neatly centered, if necessary.

Hope this helps!

Question about full page tables

[Jon Steeves]

Hello:
 
  I've been trying to solve the following problem that has stumped me.
 
1. I have an .xml file that looks like this:
 
 
   blah blah blah blah
   blah 
   blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
  
   blah blah blah

 
  There 210 's.
 
 
 2. I want to format a pdf so that each 8x11 page consists of 21 of these items 
and that they are printed in a 7 row by 3 column grid that fills the whole page 
evenly.  I want to then take the ten pages to a paper cutter and cut the stack 
so that all 210 cards are the same size.
 
The problem I'm having is each item has a different amount of text so that some 
rows are thinner than others.  Can anyone help me?
 
Cheers
 
Jon

Create an outer table with two columns and two rows and nest the 3 inner 
tables in the table cells of the outer table. You will need to put 
number-rows-spanned="2" on the first cell of the first column to merge the
two 
cells in the first column.

My XML can contain dynamic data which I want to display as a table. The number of columns and rows of the table can change and can be many. It is important that the generated PDF will be printer friendly - when printing the pdf no data is lost and columns and rows are not broken in the middle. I dont mind though that if there is not enough room for all the columns in the printed page that  the next page will print the columns that couldnt fit in the previous page. The same goes for rows.
XSL-FO provides no facility to allow columns to spill onto subsequent pages if 
there is insufficient room for columns on previous page. Extra rows will 
naturally flow onto the next page when a page is filled.

Re: Problems with tables and templates

[Chris Pratt]

Yup, you're wrong =8^).  As long as the begin and end are in the same template, 
it's valid.  In other words, you can't have the  tag in one template and 
the matching  in another, but you can have the  and  around 
an  that puts in the rows.  The same is true for fo.

Hi,

the problem is that you can't create some elements of a table without ending it.
In html you can begin a table and in the next template you can add rows and 
cells and in another template you can close
the table, that's not possible in pdf. Or am i on the wrong way?

In the meantime i changed my xsl script completely, so it works in a completely 
other way.
It's rather a problem of xsl.

Thanks

Hi,

i have a table with 3 columns.

Theme1
Test1   ok  1
Test2   fail1

Test2   ok  2


The xml file:

   






   




Now my problem is the following:

How can i achieve that the table will be filled up correctly?

In my xsl-fo file i have a template that matches "theme" and calls template 
matching "test".

So looks the table after filling it up with my solution:

This looks like an XSLT problem. Ask on the XSL list:

Re: Specifying Line Spacing in tables

My table is made of mostly single line rows. Each cell is a single block. By

Are you sure you mean what you have written?

If you want to have a well defined space between table rows,
insert an additional row with a heigth property of your choice.

You can also try to add properly choosen space-before and
space-after to the block in the table cells (if there are
cells with potentially more than one block, enclose them
in a single block). This is almost always preferred if all
cells have borders.

Why don't you want to create an outer table? It's

Tables are block elements, and therefore can't be indented at all
(or so they say). Don't use tables in a list. You can use a two
column table instead of the list, and put the visible tables into
the outer table's table cells.

customization layer? Isnt that a docbook term? I'm not familiar with 
docbook.
The basic concepts of a table-caption in FOP are very simple. table-caption 
isnt implemented, so to keep a piece of text, either above or below a table, 
simply create an outer table that has no borders (aka 'blind table'). The 
outer table will need a single column and 2 rows. The inner table is then 
placed either inside the top or bottom cell and the caption in the other cell 
depending on whether the caption is required above or below the original 
table. Make sense?

How to achieve this within docbook is another issue, which I suggest you ask 
on the docbook user list.

Re: Adding Blind Tables for Figures

Thanks. I hadn't realized there have been so few updates to FOP.
I noticed on a post that to implement a blind table within a template, I 
should add the following to my customization layer:


 
 
   
 

  
  
   
 
   

   
   

  

  

   

   
  

  
 
   
 


 
 
   
 
   
 

I did so, only to find that it had no effect. By no effect, I mean I 
looked into the FO file that was generated, and did not see any tables 
around my figure and captions.

I then thought that perhaps my customization layer was in error somehow, 
so I created a separate customization layer using only the above 
template. Still, no effect.

Finally, I modified the formal.xsl stylesheet with this template, and 
still did have any results.

Clearly, I'm applying something incorrectly. But I'm at a loss as to 
where to begin. I did notice that, in the formal.xsl template, the 
formal.object template is very different from the above XSL markup. That 
is why I wondered if I was working off old material.

I'm happy to provide further information, if that would be helpful. I 
also freely admit that I'm unsure if this is an XSL issue, appropriate 
for the DocBook lists, or a FOP issue. But I figured I should start 
somewhere.

Thanks very much for any assistance,

Doesnt matter that its 2 years old, there have been very few releases

figure with FOP. Perhaps you should explain why it doesnt work for

Adding Blind Tables for Figures

Hello all,
I realize this must be a very popular question. However, the only

do not seem to work.

Here is my question:

I could use to implement this workaround?

Freezing columns in tables / span columns over multiple pages

[mka]

I want to print a rather large table
and would like to be able to:

1) span the columns of the table over
several pages and 
2) repeat curtain columns on every page

much like it is possible in spreadsheets.

One possible solution would be the following:

1) Aqquire the columns to be frozen
and pages to span (from user, configuration file etc.)
2) Given the page width and number of
pages to span - each columns relative width can be calculated (through
physical page size and JTable's getColumnWidth() and some relative simple
math)
3) Generate a XML-FO table for each
page to span adding the frozen columns to each table (and of course the
columns calculated to be on that page) and insert these tables in the XML-FO
document.

F.x. if the table had rows for 2 pages
and columns were to be spanned over 2 pages the above solution would generate
4 pages where the first page would be the tables "upper left"
corner, the second page the "lower left" corner, the third page
the "upper right" corner and finally the fourth page the "lower
right" corner (table header and frozen columns being present on each).
In short the pages would be printed
as (number is page number):

13
24 
(upper left, lower left, upper right,
lower right)

Now my questions are:
* Does any of you know any solution
smarter than this that accomplishes the same ?
* Is it possibly using FOP (XML-FO)
to create the above print where the pages are printed as follows:
12
34
(upper left, upper right, , lower left,
lower right) ?

To make the thread complete here is the Perl script to generate the XML

sequences. The pages are numbered, I was suprised that the numbering works
without tampering the initial-page-number...

Not at all. You just need to rewrite your XSL to produce, one page-sequence
for every N rows or tables. Where you now apply-templates to *all* tables in
the document, you could opt to apply-templates to groups of tables, let's
assume 3 tables per page-sequence. This would lead to the following
pseudocode:

...
  
...

  

  

  


etc.

HTH!

Another option for generating PDF, if you don't need all the advanced 
functionality of an XSL processor, could be iText:  
http://www.lowagie.com/iText/, http://sourceforge.net/projects/itext/.  
I have not worked with this product before, but it *may* be able to 
handle very large and relatively simple/repetitive documents better.  
However, you'll no longer be working with XML & XSL documents as input.

Re: FW: OutOfMemoryError by large tables: Alternative solution?

[anders . malmborg]

Thanks for the answers.

There are some items where I am still a bit confused.

First, I must agree that it might not make sence to render 2 rows into
PDF. The problem is, that the user can pick bad criteria and I can not
interact with him at that time.

As to splitting up the table:

Yes, this is what I mean. You will need to redefine the columns for each new

Pascal,
The number of rows is not a problem in alt-design, with the usual 
proviso about forward references.  Pages are built up as rows are 
encountered.  There may be other valid reasons to break up huge tables 
into sub-tables, but memory consumption will not be one of them.

I understand your concerns, but there is no way to generically handle an

XSL-FO of infinite size. There are some things you can do to reduce the
ratio 
memory:input size.

Splitting the table up is the best way to reduce the ratio memory:input
size. 
Also, there have been some tweaks made to the maintenance code in CVS
that 
help improve the memory usage of tables. To use this latest code, you
will 
need to install a CVS client, download the 0.20.5 code from the
maintainance 
branch and then re-compile. See website for further info:

Objet : Re: OutOfMemoryError by large tables: Alternative solution?

I would like to answer this question now by saying, "Alt-design". 
However, I cannot - yet.  The layout work has just begun, and is aiming 
initially at a Java 2D solution.  When that is complete, unless someone cares 
to work in parallel on PDF rendering from the Java 2D representation, that PDF 
rendering work will have to follow.  The initial version will require Java 
1.4.2, a serious drawback for many, and may move forward from there if the text 
layout facilities improve in
1.5 and its sub-releases.

Alt-design starts page layout as soon as an fo:flow is encountered, and a page 
is completed as soon as enough of the flow has been read to fill that page.

Obviously, forward references cannot be resolved until the reference is 
resolved in the course of layout (e.g. Page n of m), but the existing solution 
of caching the incomplete page to disk will apply in alt-design.

Anyone who wishes to contribute to the development of alt-design would be most 
welcome.  Experience has already shown that ideas from alt-design can be very 
fruitfully applied to the main line of development.  In saying this I have no 
desire to distract those, especially those new and productive committers, who 
are dedicated to HEAD development.

I mention this here because of the ongoing concern about memory usage.

hi all,

Good Day!!!

thanks for giving me that bright idea i was able to achieve what i 
wanted... hmm... i shouldn't have looked at at block-container in the 
first place it made me all the more confused hehehe :-) here is what 
i did though

using the existing xsl-fo "table" tag i omitted the  of the table 
cell in the xml file thus giving me this 








 
 
 







then inserted this table inside each column






test







which now looked like this








 






test row 1


test row 2


test row 3







 






test 2






 






test 3













this one worked :-) thanks once more for the patience in teaching 
me this technique... all the best!!!

Since this has not been answered after 4 days... Have you tried this with
the latest fop version (0.20.5)? Besides this, the output of the AWTRenderer
normally doesn't exactly resemble the PDF output, since these renderers use
a different font base - this might well be the source of the stated problem,
and I think there's no workaround for the moment.

(Haven't got time to try your XSL - but save the FO output and either 
check or post that (as long as it's small enough))

with hard-coded content and it does not appear (suggesting its not a problem
with the dynamically generated header table just a problem with the table
itself).
So I'm thinking there's a problem with my page sequencing definitions or a
problem with FOP or a problem with header/footer margins ???
If anyone can see anything obviously wrong with my XSL it would be much
appreciated - already spent over a day trying to debug this thing.

Subject: fo:tables in fo:static-content
Dear all,
Not sure if this is the correct list to write to (if it is incorrect
please
accept my apologies) but am having some difficulty with an XSL FO
document.
Briefly my current development set up involves formatting my initial
data
into my own ML and then transforming into the fo namespace so I can
transform to a pdf using FOP.  My problem specifically is that I am
generating header and footer content (in the static-content tags) from
the
intermediary ML which is only showing on the first page and not on any
subsequent pages.  The intermediary ML uses a table (based closely on
the
html table syntax) to layout the header and footer (for convenience) and
the
XSL file converts the header and footer tables into fo:tables in the
xsl-region-before and xsl-region-after.  Unfortunately these tables only
show on the first page and not on any of the others :-(
I have narrowed this problem down to 2 possible causes:
1) fo:static-content is not able to handle fo:tables in the header and
footer (this could be a FOP problem?)
2) I am not correctly defining the page sequence and page templates
correctly (I think I have fixed this)
Attached is the input xml (called mrml) and the xslfo stylesheet to
convert
to valid fo.
Many thanks for any help in advance,
Cheers
Daniel

Re: tables in fo:static-content

[Daniel Easton]

So confirmation that 2 independent developers have tables in headers and
footers that appear on multiple pages (although no confirmation as to
whether they format using FOP).  I've tried adding a table to the header
with hard-coded content and it does not appear (suggesting its not a problem
with the dynamically generated header table just a problem with the table
itself).

So I'm thinking there's a problem with my page sequencing definitions or a
problem with FOP or a problem with header/footer margins ???

The spec is somewhat fuzzy on this issue, I still have no idea

Hi!
I'm using fop version 0.20.5.
I'm trying to indent a table. The problem is that the contents of the
table cells are indented but not the borders. Im using the attribute
margin-left. I've tried wrapping the table inside a block and giving the
attribute to the block. I've also tried giving the table the same
attribute. The result is the same. The borders are not intented.
The only way to shift the whole table in FOP is to nest your table inside a 
blind table with two columns. The first column having the width of the 
required indent and the second column being the total width of the inner 
table.

I found one message
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/docbook-apps/2003-q3/msg00070.html
that stated that there might be a bug in fop.
This behaviour is a limitation in the current version of FOP

FOP is not conformant here, putting space unconditionally
even at the start of a reference area (table cells create
reference areas), which violates the spec. There is no work
around nor an intention to fix this in the near future. I
think there are already multiple entries in Buxzilla for
this and related issues.
What can I do further to get this problem solved?
The style sheets can be hacked to avoid defining spaces
at the beginning of page sequences, table cells and so on,
but they'll get kind of ugly in the process.

extra space at the beginning of tables within table cells

[Gisbert Amm]

Hi,

I have a table within a table-cell, produced by the DocBook XSL stylesheets:








WebServer Plattform mit spezifischen
Erweiterungsmodulen







When processing this with Fop 0.20.5, there is an extra space (looking like
an empty line) inserted into the table cell in PDF before the beginning of
the text.

I've asked Robert Stayton about this (to change the DocBook XSL
stylesheets), but he replied:

"This problem applies to more than simplelist, it applies
to all block elements inside a table cell.
Almost all block elements output some space above, and FOP
should be ignoring that space above when it is at
the beginning of a table cell.  That is what XEP does.
I think you should file the RFE with FOP."

So here I am. I've already searched the archives and Bugzilla for this
problem, but didn't find anything appropriate (perhaps oversighted
something?).

What can I do further to get this problem solved?

Kind regards,
Gisbert Amm

Every time you've posted one of these, it puts characters all over the

it would be better to create an HTML version of what you want, and post

[Abhijit Junnare]

What two different tables do you want? You said
something about both categories. Do you mena to say
that you want two tables exactly similar to each
other? Didnt quite understand the problem.

Creating multiple tables using a single XSL stylesheet?

[Kevin K.]

Hello,
 
My knowledge is limited about XML technologies.  I am trying creating PDF files from Value Objects(VO). I am following the following way:
1. VO -> XML 2. Create XSL Stylesheet then3.  Use FOP with XML and XSL Stylesheet files to create PDF file.
I am having problem with creating XSL Stylesheet. I am trying to create it manually. How can I create XSL Stylesheet? Is there any good tutorial about it?
Now, I want to output two tables. Both categories are found within the same XML source but need to be placed in separate tables. Here is my xsl Stylesheet code:
 
 
http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format" exclude-result-prefixes="fo">          http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format">       
               Project:                        Column 1          Column 2          Column 3                            
                                                                           
 
Thanks in advance...

I don't know which version of AIX you're using, but IBM apparently now 
offers a Java 1.4 for AIX 5.1 & 5.2. More info can be found here:

http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/java/jdk/aix/index.html
NOTE: I haven't used this release (I'll be looking into whether or not 
this may be useful to us and/or our clients)

If you switch to Sun's JVM: some 1.3.0 releases and basically
all 1.4.0 beta releases are said to have a variety of problems
with AWT text rendering, the latter most notable with
character width calculations. Use 1.3.1 or 1.4.1/1.4.2.
For details, consult Sun's BugParade.
In my experience, Sun JVM 1.4.0_06 and later correctly output 
font-kerning using -awt (and -print, since it uses AWT). On the "IBM" 
side, IBM JVM 1.3.x worked OK on AIX. In fact, we've been telling our 
clients to use Sun Java 1.4.0_06+, or IBM Java 1.3+.

However, since you're having problems, with IBM Java 1.3.x, I may have 
to revisit that advice. Out of curiosity, are all fonts affected or is 
it just one or two, and if so, which font(s) have you tested?
The problems occur, when I choose no font (wich seems to be Helvetica) 
and with Helvetica. Using Courier or Times in the table-rows is ok, but 
produces problems on my table-header. So I tested to use Helvetica on 
table-header and Times on the rows. In this combination I see no 
problems. Of course it is not ideal to mix fonts. Is there any other 
font shipped with fop I can use, or is "importing" a font a solution ?
FOP's Fonts page contains much of the information I think you're looking 
for:
http://xml.apache.org/fop/fonts.html

Of particular note, is the point, that (I believe) FOP is shipped with 
no fonts. Instead, it relies on the system/renderer combination. As for 
AWT/Print, according to the chart:


Base-14 Fonts
The Adobe PDF Specification specifies a set of 14 fonts that must be 
available to every PDF reader: Helvetica (normal, bold, italic, bold 
italic), Times (normal, bold, italic, bold italic), Courier (normal, 
bold, italic, bold italic), Symbol and ZapfDingbats.

AWT/Operating System Fonts
The AWT family of renderers (AWT, Print, SVG), use the Java AWT 
libraries for font metric information. Through operating system 
registration, the AWT libraries know what fonts are available on the 
system, and the font metrics for each one.


FWIW, I've used Sun 1.4.1_01-b01 successfully on Win32, and as 
mentioned java130 on AIX. Our Linux box is using 1.4.0_02. All of 
these installations output "Courier" and "Times" acceptably.

I have yet to run any tests with Sun 1.4.2...
Hope someone finds at least a portion of this informative...
BTW, in your original msg you mentioned using fop-0.20.5rc2... Have you 
tried using the release version: fop-0.20.5 (fop-0.20.5rc2 is a few 
months old...):

XSL-FO Performance issue - Tables in particular

[Ganesh]

Title: Message



 
Dear 
techies,
I am trying to 
generate a Large PDF in a multi-user environment.
 
Details of large 
PDF- [with 31 pages, 11 images (each 2KB size), 20 
tables each with 20 rows with 2 cells, PDF 
Size:140KB ]
 
To generate this PDF 
it takes 16 secs to create this PDF with just a single thread. This number 
increase as more no. of concurrent threads come into play.

 
I guess I read 
it in this group that fo table is a performance deterrent? If so is there any 
alternative for it?
In general is there 
is any benchmark / guidelines for writing the best XSL-FO 
possible?
 
Thanks,
Ganesh

I tried also "Classic VM (build 1.3.1, J2RE 1.3.1 IBM Windows 32 build

newer Version (this is from 7.11.2002) available for the IBM-VM ?
Is there any Solution with a IBM-VM ? Can I use a Workaround ?
The Sun
VM has its own number of problems.
If you are tied to JDK 1.3, you should upgrade to the last patch
level of a 1.3.1 VM.
So I experimented with addional "de.hyp" and "de_DR.hyp" build from 
"de.xml" and "de_DR.xml" of fop 0.20.3 and a setting of 
"hyphenation-dir" in "userconfig.xml" without success.

Nice try, but what kind of success did you expect? Hyphenation
is, well, for hyphenation only, not for character placement
calculation.

Your right, but while I guess it was dependet on the language of the VM

Different VM causes different printing of Blanks in tables

[Matthias Schäfer]

Hello,
I use fop 0.20.5RC2 on a german W2K from a java-application. Printing 
text inside and outside a table shows differences on blanks. Inside the 
table the words have different distances (from normal to overlapping 
last and first letter) when running with
java version "1.3.0"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.3.0)
Classic VM (build 1.3.0, J2RE 1.3.0 IBM build cn130-20010925 (JIT 
enabled: jitc))
Running the same with
java version "1.3.0"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.3.0-C)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.3.0-C, mixed mode)
everything is ok.

I found the following difference between the VMs: The IBM-VM bring up 
german Buttons in JOptionPane. The SUN-VM shows english Buttons at this 
point.

So I experimented with addional "de.hyp" and "de_DR.hyp" build from 
"de.xml" and "de_DR.xml" of fop 0.20.3 and a setting of 
"hyphenation-dir" in "userconfig.xml" without success.

The System-Property "user.language" is "de" and 
"System.out.println(Locale.getDefault())" prints "de_DE".

Executing this Snippet show also no change in the described behavior.

Locale.setDefault(Locale.GERMANY);
UIManager.setLookAndFeel(UIManager.getLookAndFeel()); // !!

Is there anybody who can point me towards a solution where I can use the 
IBM-VM ?

I can't absolutely position the image (as I've done previously)

I recommend creating a parent table with two columns and nesting the inner 
table in the second column.

(assuming that images can be nested inside a table), but the
column-width for the image would be in mm and the other columns
are "proportional-column-width".  I don't know if this is a
problem.
As long as you define the width of both columns in the parent table, and 
specify the width of the second column as the width of the inner table, I 
think it should work.

I was also hoping I wouldn't need to do a rowspan.
I dont think you will need to.

Re: Question about tables and (colored) borders

[Chris Bowditch]

From: "Leonard Wolters" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

This produces a table something like:
-
| asdasd|
-
| asdasd
-
As one can see, the lower left column misses the right border, and the
upper
right misses the bottom border. What I want is the following:
-
| asdasd|
-
| asdasd|
-
This may have something to do with border-collapse, i.e. even though borders 
are different coolors, FOP thinks it can merge them together (collapse) IIRC 
border-collapse="collapse" by default, try setting 
border-collapse="separate" on your fo:table element.
