Hi Jean-Yves Over the weekend I experimented and eventually found the same solution, so thank you for corroborating :) It's always nice to know when one is on the right track.
Is it possible for me to change some aspect of XXE so that, for example, underline will be visible on screen (for something like, say, emphasis with role)? I tend to include references to menu options inline in text, and since many are underscored (to indicate the Alt key combination) I try to duplicate the menu option format in my text. I will be altering/inserting the relevant <fo:> for simplified DocBook so that underline will appear in PDFs (for now, RTF, HTML and other formats are of secondary importance) but it would be nice if I could see that on-screen too. Thanks for your help once again, Best wishes, Peter > -----Original Message----- > From: Jean-Yves Belmonte [mailto:john at pixware.fr] > Sent: Monday, September 16, 2002 3:39 AM > To: Peter Brooks > Cc: XFC-Support; XMLeditor-Support > Subject: Re: Support for sidebars > > > Peter Brooks wrote: > > > > It does look as though background-color is supported by FOP > (I can change > > the declaration for sidebar.title in block.xsl to include, say, > > background-color="red" and it comes through XFC into the > PDF for the sidebar > > title) but so far I haven't quite worked out how to apply the > > background-color to the whole sidebar element. > > I just changed line #108 of $XFC_HOME/xsl/docbook/fo/block.xsl into > > <fo:block background-color="#d3d3d3"> > > and it works fine for PDF output. > > It doesn't work for RTF output though, because it turns out > that XFC doesn't > handle the 'background-color' property correctly in the case of nested > blocks.
