RE: special characters - Unicode

[Matthias Fischer <m....@abc-media.de>]

An alternative would be to format the item label as "Symbol" and to assign
it the value · :

<fo:list-item>
	<fo:list-item-label >
		<fo:block start-indent="0.0mm">
			<fo:inline font-family="Symbol">&#183;</fo:inline>
		</fo:block>
	</fo:list-item-label>
	<fo:list-item-body>
		<fo:block start-indent="7.5mm">
			<fo:inline>
				<xsl:apply-templates/>
			</fo:inline>
		</fo:block>
	</fo:list-item-body>
</fo:list-item>

Q u e s t i o n :   I tried Vladimir's solution and, of course, it works. I
tried other Unicode value, but I got always # as a result. Does anybody know
of any restrictions to Unicode in FOP?

Matthias

Hi Matt,

Here's how I usually use bullet points:

			<fo:list-block
provisional-distance-between-starts="12pt">
				<fo:list-item><fo:list-item-label
end-indent="label-end()"><fo:block>&#x2022;</fo:block></fo:list-item-label>
					<fo:list-item-body
start-indent="body-start()"><fo:block>SOME BULLET POINT TEXT IN
HERE</fo:block></fo:list-item-body>
				</fo:list-item>
			</fo:list-block>

As you can see from the example all you need to do to create a bullet point
is to use &#x2022; in the place where you want it to appear. Hope this
helps,

Vlad

Is fo:table supported when used into a fo:list-item-body ?

["Etienne Baert (SPSInfoquest nv)" <eb...@sps.be>]

Hi,

is the following code supported by fop ?

<fo:list-block>
    <fo:list-item>
        <fo:list-item-label end-indent="label-end()">
            <fo:block>1)</fo:block>
        </fo:list-item-label>
        <fo:list-item-body start-indent="body-start()">
            <fo:block>Some text</fo:block>
            <fo:block>Some more text</fo:block>
            <fo:block>
                <fo:table>
                    <fo:table-column width="10mm"/>
                    <fo:table-column width="10mm"/>
                    <fo:table-body>
                        <fo:table-row>
                            <fo:table-cell number-rows-spanned="2">
                                <fo:block>
                                    <fo:external-graphic height="auto"
width="auto" src="images/note.jpg"/>
                                </fo:block>
                            </fo:table-cell>
                            <fo:table-cell>
                                <fo:block>NOTE</fo:block>
                            </fo:table-cell>
                        </fo:table-row>
                        <fo:table-row>
                            <fo:table-cell number-columns-spanned="2">
                                <fo:block>Text for current note</fo:block>
                            </fo:table-cell>
                        </fo:table-row>
                    </fo:table-body>
                </fo:table>
            </fo:block>
        </fo:list-item-body>
    </fo:list-item>
</fo:list-block>

When trying to render this to pdf, fop seems to enter a infinite loop and
send me back this error message (not very explicit) :
ERROR   10086   [fop     ] (): >

Many thanks,
EB
