drawing a continuous border-bottom line (dotted) for table rows
Hello,
I am using the alpha version of Fop 1.0.
I want to create a table with some columns and rows.
Each row must be dotted.
This works fine if all columns are filled with values.
But if some values are missed, then the column is
totally blank.
How can this be avoided ?
Here my xsl-fo snippet :
...
<fo:table-row>
<fo:table-cell border-bottom="dotted">
<fo:block>
<xsl:value-of select="@order-date"/>
</fo:block>
....
Thanks in advance !
Thomas

What do you mean exactly? That there is an empty fo:block in the cell?
Try running fop with the '-foout' command-line switch, and check the
generated FO source document.
In case of there's an empty block element in the cell, this is most
likely caused by a missing order-date attribute in your XML source (?)
Try adding a non-breaking space like so:
<xsl:if test="not(@order-date)"> </xsl:if>
<xsl:value-of select="@order-date" />
HTH!
Cheers,
Andreas

As Manuel already indicated, this is currently not possible (certainly
not with FOP 0.20.5).
However, the solution Manuel suggests becomes much simpler if you use
FOP's svn-trunk, which offers support for starts-row and ends-row on
table-cells. You would not need to generate a row element, but just
conditionally add an attribute to the enclosing table-cell. This has
the advantage of making the XSLT much less complicated.

True. This is exactly what makes it possible to keep track of the
accumulated width and add a starts-row property to the cells in
question. The feature we'd really need to implement for this is
"fo:inlines with block content", so that we can have inline-tables like
in HTML.
Now, a kind request for Prakash --a question of mailing-list etiquette.
The following is what I obtained from the header of the Raw Message:
From: Prakash R <ra...@yahoo.com>
Subject: multiple tables in same row on page
To: fop-users@xmlgraphics.apache.org
In-Reply-To: <20...@jeremias-maerki.ch>
Although it's a nice try to send your post as a reply to someone else's
thread, delete all content and provide a new subject line, please
refrain from this in the future. After all, why would you go to all
that trouble if you can simply choose 'New Message...' and start from
there?
Thanks!
Greetz,

Prakash,
I don't think so (but I have been known to be wrong).
Also fop does not support auto table layout. This means you have to
specify column width on each column. If you do that you know the
overall width of each table and if you know the width of each table you
know how many fit on each line and then you can create a one row n-cell
table for each desired output line in your fo file.
That is the above becomes something like:
<fo:block>
<fo:table>
<fo:table-row>
<fo:table-cell>
<fo:table>
.......
</fo:table>
</fo:table-cell>
<fo:table-cell>
<fo:table>
.......
</fo:table>
</fo:table-cell>
<fo:table-cell>
<fo:table>
.......
</fo:table>
</fo:table-cell>
</fo:table-row>
</fo:table>
<fo:table>
<fo:table-row>
<fo:table-cell>
<fo:table>
.......
</fo:table>
</fo:table-cell>
</fo:table-row>
</fo:table>
</fo:block>
I know that's not quite what you are after as you basically want this
type of transformation being done automatically by. May be you can do
that at the XSLT stage?

multiple tables in same row on page
Posted by Prakash R <ra...@yahoo.com>.
I have a fo which looks like this:
<fo:block>
<fo:table>
.......
</fo:table>
<fo:table>
.......
</fo:table>
<fo:table>
.......
</fo:table>
<fo:table>
.......
</fo:table>
</fo:block>
The number of tables in the fo:block is variable. Is
there a way to lay the tables in a single row one
after the other and if it does not fit in the same row
to go on the next row.
<table1> <table2> <table3>
<table4> <table5>
In the above example table1, table2 and table3 fit
across the width of the page. table4 and table5 are on
the next row.
Each of the individual pages would resize to content
and so in some cases 2 tables might be on one row
while in some other case it might be as much as 4 in a
row.
Thanks in advance.
Prakash

Looking at the Rec to determine this, I found two possible problems with
the current way that the rules are written, and have submitted them to
the XSL-Editors ML for the working group to look over.[1]

I hadn't thought of that because I always do all my processing against
some other XML dialect and generate FO as the last step. A separate
namespace would be the way to go, for sure.

How about using 'id=posXXX', where the XXX value is the result from
generate-id()?
In that case, you could have a template similar to what you have now:
<xsl:template match="//*[starts-with(@id,'pos')]" />
Another option would be to introduce a custom namespace for that, and
define the 'id' attribute in that namespace, so the unique-constraint
won't apply (since it's no longer the default XML 'id' attribute).
(Jay's suggestion just rolled in --I'm not 100% sure, but I think FOP

Re: marking some elements by same @id
Posted by JB...@s-s-t.com.
The fix for this is to not use "id". You should use an attribute named
"id" only when you plan to assign a unique identifier to that attribute.
Otherwise, lots of XML- and XSL-based systems (including but certainly not
limited to FOP) will break. So, use some other name instead: "myid",
"groupid", "tableid", "Oscar", whatever.

marking some elements by same @id
Hello,
I am designing a table with the trunk version of FOP.
The table must be configurable.
For example : it depends on the order if the
"Position" should appear or not.
So I created a xsl-fo stylesheet like this :
<fo:table ...>
<fo:table-column column-width="1.5cm"/>
<fo:table-column id="pos" column-width="2cm"/>
<fo:table-column column-width="2cm"/>
<fo:table-header>
<fo:table-row>
<fo:table-cell border-bottom="solid">
<fo:block>
Artikel
</fo:block>
</fo:table-cell>
<fo:table-cell id="pos" border-bottom="solid">
<fo:block>
Position
</fo:block>
</fo:table-cell>
<fo:table-cell border-bottom="solid"> <fo:block>
Datum
</fo:block>
</fo:table-cell>
</fo:table-row>
</fo:table-header>
<fo:table-body>
<xsl:for-each select="Order">
<fo:table-row>
<fo:table-cell border-bottom="dotted">
<fo:block>
<xsl:value-of select="@name"/>
</fo:block>
</fo:table-cell>
<fo:table-cell id="Pos" border-bottom="dotted">
<fo:block>
<xsl:value-of select="@PosName"/>
</fo:block>
</fo:table-cell>
<fo:table-cell border-bottom="dotted">
<fo:block>
<xsl:value-of select="@date"/>
</fo:block>
</fo:table-cell>
...
If I want to remove the "Position", then the following
template did that for me :
<xsl:template match="//*[@id='Pos']"/>
Luckily, Xalan does not complain about the non-unique
values of id.
However; if I want the "Position" in the table then
FOP will correctly complain "... id values must be
unique in document."
My question : is there any possibility to mark several
elements with the same attribute name so that I can
run such a "remove-template" ?
Or : how can I turn off the unique-id checking of FOP
?
Thanks in advance !
Thomas

FYI: I'm going to add a little warning for that, so the users at least
get an idea of why it's not working as they expect --especially
important for those who migrate from 0.20.5 to 0.90svn (which is what
the pre-release will be called)

Andreas

Hi, yes; I like it ! Hope it will be released soon ;-)
I had a problem with the continuous dotted
border-bottom line on tables.
Thanks for your fast reply and tip but Jeremias was
right.
This problem doesn't exist.

My fault; it works nicely indeed.
I defined five <fo:table-column/> elements but only
three <fo:table-cell> elements.
So the dotted line was not continuous up to the end of
line.
In Fop 20.5; I just wrote the following and it worked
for solid bottom-border-line up to the end of line.
<fo:table-row border-bottom="solid">
no matter how much "table-cell" I defined.
You gave me an answer why this change happenend :
