Re: Including an image as a page

2008-04-17 Thread Jeremias Maerki
On the block containing the fo:external-graphic add these properties:
font-size=0 line-height=0 break-before=page break-after=page

The breaks are necessary to work around a current limitation of FOP. The
other two properties make sure that half-leading effects are eliminated
thus nicely fitting the image in the page.

A better solution might be to investigate if you can create a custom
extension for DocBook so you could still use fox:external-document from
inside DocBook. But I don't know enough about DocBook to know if that is
even doable.

How can I avoid this warning? Can I ignore it?

Now that I know the FO that works, I will probably try to see if I can
extend my custom stylesheet to add the necessary attributes. I think that
this way is easier because it does not disturb the structure of the DocBook
document. 

The DocBook docs explain how to add elements to the Docbook DTD, but
considering that I don't really know what I am doing, I would not want to
take on that task.

That's not the relevant block. Look closer: the warning is about the
block-container further up in your file. The height of the
block-container is set to 0.01in and its contents (the fo:leader) grow
beyond that. Just remove the leader.

Please take a look at: 
http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/0.95/extensions.html#external-document

Of course, you can create the same effect by setting up the page-master
accordingly and using line-height=0 to avoid half-leading effects. The
above extension is simpler but renders your XSL-FO incompatible with
other FO implementations.

 Hello all,
 
 Is it possible to include an image as a page?
 
 That is, if I have an image that is 8.5in X 11in, and set my
 letter-sized page borders to 0 so that the printable area is 8.5in X 11in,
 can I add the image to a blank page without cropping or scaling,
 or convert the image into a page by itself?
