problem with justifying text
Hi everybody,
I'm using FOP 0.20.5 in a servlet. I'm trying to put a larger text (1
page long) with couple of paragraphs in a PDF document. I want to have
the text justified so i'm doing it like this:
<fo:block white-space-collapse="false" text-align="justify"
text-align-last="start">
Hi everyone
some txt including linebreaks some txt including linebreaks some txt
including linebreaks some txt including linebreaks some txt including
some txt including linebreaks some txt including linebreaks some txt
including linebreaks some txt including linebreaks some txt including
linebreaks some txt including linebreaks
some greetings
</fo:block>
and i get:
Hi everyone
some txt including linebreaks some txt
including linebreaks some txt including
linebreaks some txt including linebreaks
some txt including
some txt including linebreaks some
txt including linebreaks some txt
including linebreaks some txt including
linebreaks some txt including linebreaks
some txt including linebreaks
some greetings
even "Hi everyone" line is justified! also when longer lines are wrapped
their ending is justified. Only last line - "some greetings" is aligned
to the left.
text-align docs says: *
justify*
...the last (or only) line of any block, and any lines in the block
ending in U+000A, will be aligned in accordance with the
"text-align-last" property value...i tried to write the whole text as a
one line with 
 instead of linebreaks but it didn't change
anything. I would like also to keep the whole text in a single block, so
I don't want to split it into several blocks. Can anyone tell me what
may be wrong?

Thanks a lot for your information. Using FOP 0.92beta solved my problem.
all the best,

Yes, 0.20.5 does it wrong, but your example simply can't work. In
0.92beta, your line breaks will simply be converted to spaces, removing
the manual breaks some of which (not all) you obviously want to preserve.
There's no option in XSL-FO that lets you treat two consecutive line
breaks as a hard line break while removing the single line breaks. You
can set linefeed-treatment="preserve" but that won't do what you want,
either.
You will have to preprocess the text somehow and create multiple blocks.
I don't see a way around that unless I misunderstood your intentions.
