Forcing a new line
Hi, I have a table with column headings. Sometimes the headings are quite long and I want to force a carrige return and display the heading text on two lines, for example: Currently looks like this: -- Portfolio Start Value 33 44 55 -- But I want it like this: -- Portfolio Start Value -- I also want to be able to force a blank line between the heading and the table body. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Regards, Trevor. -- Trevor Keast Client Server Specialists Inc.

Hi Trevor, For your table/column headings - if you wrap the textual content of your fo:table-cell/ within a block it should by default wrap the text within it since the wrap-option attribute of fo:block/ defaults to wrap. The blank line between your table headings and table rows can be achieved by adding a extra row at the beginning of your table body which contains a fo:leader/ wrapped within an fo:block/. See my example FO below. --- ?xml version=1.0 encoding=UTF-8? fo:root xmlns:fo=http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format; xmlns:test=http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/test; fo:layout-master-set fo:simple-page-master master-name=normal page-width=2in page-height=2in fo:region-body/ /fo:simple-page-master /fo:layout-master-set fo:page-sequence master-reference=normal fo:flow flow-name=xsl-region-body fo:table table-layout=fixed width=auto fo:table-column column-width=60pt/ fo:table-header fo:table-row fo:table-cell fo:blockStart Value Portfolio/fo:block /fo:table-cell /fo:table-row /fo:table-header fo:table-body fo:table-row fo:table-cell fo:block fo:leader/ /fo:block /fo:table-cell /fo:table-row fo:table-row fo:table-cell fo:block33/fo:block /fo:table-cell /fo:table-row fo:table-row fo:table-cell fo:block44/fo:block /fo:table-cell /fo:table-row fo:table-row fo:table-cell fo:block55/fo:block /fo:table-cell /fo:table-row /fo:table-body /fo:table /fo:flow /fo:page-sequence /fo:root --- If this above example doesn't solve your problems then please attach your FO file that you are having the problem with.

On top of what Adrian already mentioned, you could also use simply:
fo:block linefeed-treatment=preservePortfolio
Start Value/fo:block
Should work in 0.93
snip /
I also want to be able to force a blank line between the heading
and the table body.
Not sure if I understand this issue correctly, but maybe you could
achieve that effect by adding an extra row to your table-header:
fo:table-row
fo:table-cell number-columns-spanned={nr_of_columns_here}
fo:block /
/fo:table-cell
/fo:table-row
HTH!
Cheers
Andreas
