There isn’t anything in the XSL Recommendation about barcodes, so a barcode extension made sense. True, graphics could have been used, but barcodes make a lot of sense as formatting artifacts as well. The MediaWiki markup for which you’re asking involves headings, paragraphs, and lists, which are already supported by XSL. No extension is needed to provide the functionality. I don't see what you're talking about FOP supporting natively MediaWiki. How does it support MediaWiki? It doesn’t. That’s what you are asking for. (Remember that “wiki” is a concept of user-edited Web sites; specific kinds of wiki software use different markup. Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia Foundation sites use software called MediaWiki.) What I want to do is create an extension which can create a subtree of the FO tree (and reusing basic nodes like Block, Table, FOText) but I can't find any documentation explaining how to do that (if it's possible). I'd prefer an extension doing the wiki-fo transformation in one pass instead of having to write two XSL's with intermediate results: I prefer having a self-contained extension which does all the work for me.

I would recommend making a very simple XSLT that produces plain text or HTML from your data, with a running subtotal at every section. That should point the way to doing it in FO. You may also consider raising this question on the xsl-list, as it’s independent of FOP. However, the very helpful people there are also very busy, so prepare a stripped-down example that demonstrates your problem. (You may also find that preparing such an example helps you to solve it yourself.) I skipped dealing with markers, because I couldn't figure out how to call the last marker on a page. When you retrieve a marker with last-ending-within-page, you’ll get the last one on that page. So if you generated five subtotal markers on the page, you’ll just get the fifth one. ~Chris -- Chris Maden, text nerd URL: http://crism.maden.org/ “All I ask of living is to have no chains on me, And all I ask of dying is to go naturally.” — Laura Nyro GnuPG Fingerprint: C6E4 E2A9 C9F8 71AC 9724 CAA3 19F8 6677 0077 C319 - To unsubscribe, e-mail: fop-users-unsubscr...@xmlgraphics.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: fop-users-h...@xmlgraphics.apache.org

Those languages are procedural, while XSLT is a declarative language. Think about this processing model: the XSLT processor walks over the input XML, executing the appropriate templates for each node it finds. Now think about this model: the XSLT processor collects all the nodes in the input XML, then fires up a separate thread for every single one to find and execute the appropriate template. The results should be the same. That means that your XSLT needs to be able to determine the subtotal for the 30,000th item in complete ignorance of what the subtotal was for the 29,999th item. ~Chris -- Chris Maden, text nerd URL: http://crism.maden.org/ “All I ask of living is to have no chains on me, And all I ask of dying is to go naturally.” — Laura Nyro GnuPG Fingerprint: C6E4 E2A9 C9F8 71AC 9724 CAA3 19F8 6677 0077 C319 - To unsubscribe, e-mail: fop-users-unsubscr...@xmlgraphics.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: fop-users-h...@xmlgraphics.apache.org

Re: Dynamically replace argument for 'if' test
Bernmeister wrote: However, is it possible to replace the argument for an 'if' test? These are really XSLT questions, not FOP questions, and are better suited for the XSL list[1]. That said, both of your questions have been pretty basic questions about stylesheet parameters, and you would probably benefit from an introductory text on XSLT. Michael Kay’s book[2] is very good, as is Ken Holman’s[3]. In general, if you want to pass an argument into your transformation, you need an xsl:param in your XSLT stylesheet; that is what transformer.setParameter() changes. After that, the parameter is available just as any other value is. You are also confused about the difference between XSLT instructions and output elements and attributes. The curly braces are needed in literal output attributes, because otherwise the processor will just output $foo literally. In an XSLT instruction, such as xsl:if, the values are presumed to be XPath instructions, and $foo is interpreted.

FOP 0.95b observations
1) FOP now complains about empty fo:table-cells. This is strictly correct, I suppose, but annoying. More troubling, it fails with an exception and a stack trace when it happens, rather than a simpler error message. 2) Line-wrapping doesn’t seem to happen automatically in table cells: Apr 8, 2008 4:09:58 PM org.apache.fop.layoutmgr.inline.LineLayoutManager $LineBreakingAlgorithm updateData2 WARNING: Line 1 of a paragraph overflows the available area by 11431mpt.

These same paragraphs used to wrap in 0.94 and in 0.20.5. 3) While this doesn’t produce the strange page-breaking behavior seen in 0.94 (thanks!) it still does not appear to honor keep-together=always on table-body. By comparison 0.20.5 kept table-bodies together by default.

FOP, Type 1 fonts, and .pfm files
Thanks to Vincent for the earlier answer about page-breaking and tables; I am looking forward to trying 0.95 when it’s available. On a completely different project, I am having trouble (still with 0.94) with PostScript Type 1 fonts. I have the complete set of New Caledonia Type 1 fonts, originally installed on a Macintosh. I have .pfb and .afm files for each font. However, FOP complains: Mar 21, 2008 4:32:44 PM org.apache.fop.fonts.autodetect.FontInfoFinder find SEVERE: Unable to load font file: file:/home/crism/src/atmom/./new-caledonia/NewCaledonia.pfb. Reason: Cannot load font: failed to create Source for font file /home/crism/src/atmom/./new-caledonia/newcaledonia.pfm The long-term question: Why does FOP care about PFMs when AFMs are available? PFMs contain less information and are usually only found on Windows machines. Short-term question: Does anyone know of a better AFM-to-PFM convertor than the 14-year-old afm2pfm that’s still floating around? It dumps core on my Linux box and does not produce helpful results. Thanks in advance for any help, Chris [Just in case anyone cares: Yes, I purchased the set of New Caledonia from Linotype, which included a license to install the fonts on up to five computers and one printer.

Pagination and multiple fo:table-body instances
I have a multi-page document which is one large table. I previously produced this document with FOP 0.20.5, and have recently switched to 0.94. The table has multiple fo:table-body elements in it. With 0.20.5, it paginated rather neatly, filling a page with as many table bodies as it could, and dropping an entire body to the next page when there was no more room. None of the table-body elements are more than 6 rows long. With 0.94, as soon as page 1 threatens to fill up, all but the first two bodies are moved to page 2, which then fills nicely, but breaks the page to page 3 in the middle of a table-body. Adding keep-together=always on the table-body elements does not seem to have any effect on either behavior. I can mock up a demonstration of the problem, but it will take a little work since the data I’m working with contains confidential information. Before I do that, does this ring any bells for anyone as a known problem?
