Creating and using RTF files with FO
Does anyone here have any experience with creating RTF files,
using the FO/jfor approach?
I am struggling to get table formatting showing up properly
in Word (2002)and/or Open Office and was wondering if
there are any tweaks/tricks I need to know to get the serializer
to work properly?
Thanks
Derek

The jfor project itself is dormant since the code was donated to FOP,
and I don't think the rendering has evolved very much in FOP. There
have been some improvements though, so you might want to check the
status of the latest FOP RTF module, and I'm sure contributions would
be welcomed there.

I will look again but, no, I do not remember seeing it there.
Pity - I never realized that it was just a minimal implementation.
Where I would find the future development plans (if any)
for jfor?

Did you compare with the examples mentioned in my last message?
If what you're using is not used in those examples, chances are that
it's not implemented, as those examples were created to demonstrate
everything that was implemented in jfor (which is quite far from the
full XSL-FO spec).

I am struggling with setting table-cell attributes - they just do not seem
to work. Attached are two files, based on the test/samples files from the
site below.
On my machine, formatting of blocks work fine, but formatting of table-cells
does not, despite what the spec says. Perhaps I am missing something
really simple?
Thanks

Yes - I wrote the original jfor code a looooooooooong time ago, it was
quite limited at the time.
I haven't followed the latest developments in FOP, but you might want
to look at the original jfor XSL-FO samples at
http://jfor.cvs.sourceforge.net/jfor/jfor/samples/cocoon/
These were created and tweaked taking into account jfor's limitations,
so they are a good overview of what works. Stuff that's not in those
samples probably isn't implemented (or wasn't in the jfor times, again
I'm not sure about the status in FOP).
HTH,

Hello,
I just know nested table are not supported.
If that was the case you should only use one big table with spanning cells.
