(The questions I'm about to ask may be offtopic; the problem is that I'm very
new to a lot of this and hence don't know where to ask my questions.
Redirects
and LARTings will be gladly accepted, similarly appreciated, and gratuitously
thanked.)
First, is there any way to tell Forrest about the *horizontal* layout of a
page? Basically what I want is to be able to have graphical stuff surrounded
by text on a page, like the "Demonstration" example on the FOP homepage.
First - What version of forrest are you using ?
(Can you give the url so that we can better see what you need ?)
The current developpment version of forrest is very customisable if you
know XSL transformations...
Second, is there a way to tell FOP that I don't want the tables in my PDF
documents to occupy the entire width of the page? I'm trying to save page
space
in the printed version of my document, and having tables span the entire
width
of the page when they don't need to is rather wasteful. I'll gladly follow a
redirect to the FOP user list if it's appropriate.
I think you should have a look to the
$FORREST_HOME/main/webapp/skins/common/xslt/fo/document-to-fo.xsl
edit the file, find the following lines :
<xsl:variable name="column-width">
<xsl:value-of select="6.25 div number($max-number-columns)"/>in
</xsl:variable>
And change the 6.25 (I have not tested it !)
Third, is there some way to create an index with page numbers like found in
the
back of most books?
It is the case in the generated pdf files.
Fourth, and I apologise for the broad nature of this question, but I'm
really new
to this part especially. Where can I go to learn about mixing dynamic content
and Forrest document-v2.0 XML? I've gotten very simple XSP to work, but the
only
thing output was the dynamic content (a "Hello, world!", basically), without
any
of the Forrest navigation or other good stuff.
I don't understand what you did, sorry.
If your version is the 6 or more, maybe you can try the
org.apache.forrest.plugin.output.pdf plugin in order to integrate
skinned php - with forrest navigation ... - pages.
I thank you for your time and greatly appreciate any response you may choose
to
give.
HTH,
Cyriaque,
