[jira] [Comment Edited] (FOP-2578) Add support for the background
shorthand property
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FOP-2578?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15153216#comment-15153216 ]

--------------------------------------------------------------------
Actually, I don't think it is that difficult to add, given that, apart from background-attachment, all the other base or shorthand properties are already implemented. Not sure why it was never done. Perhaps simply because there was not enough demand, and priorities and such...
For someone looking at taking a crack at this, the existing pair {{o.a.f.fo.properties.FontShorthandParser}} and {{o.a.f.fo.properties.FontShorthandProperty}} can serve to get some idea on how to implement such shorthands.
The only part I am a bit uncertain about is the fact that this is actually a 'shorthand shorthand' if you will (i.e. background-position is in itself already a shorthand). Not sure how much complexity that would add.
EDIT - Just caught the remark about FOP-1423... That one would have to be fixed first, obviously.
Just my 2 cents...
