right align arabic in table-cell
Hi, What's the correct way to write align a block of arabic in an
individual table-cell?
I found that with writing-mode="rl-tb", it was also necessary to add
text-align="end"
<fo:table-cell >
<fo:block text-align="end" writing-mode="rl-tb">
<inline font-family="Arial">المدينة</inline>
</fo:block>
</fo:table-cell>
thanks .. Jason

I can't make it right align using a nested table as a hack (using
fop-20140319.jar)
I tried various things, but essentially:
<fo:table width="4.12in">
<fo:table-column column-number="1" column-width="2.19in"/>
<fo:table-column column-number="2" column-width="1.94in"/>
<fo:table-body start-indent="0in">
<fo:table-row>
<fo:table-cell >
<table xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format"
width="2in" writing-mode="rl-tb">
<table-column column-number="1" column-width="2in"/>
<table-body>
<table-row>
<table-cell>
<block>
<inline font-size="11.0pt">ONEالمدينة</inline>
</block>
</table-cell>
</table-row>
</table-body>
</table>
</fo:table-cell>
<fo:table-cell >
<block xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format" >
<inline font-size="11.0pt">blah</inline>
</block>
</fo:table-cell>
</fo:table-row>
</fo:table-body>
</fo:table>
It does work when @writing-mode is on a table which isn't nested; is
there some logic by which nested tables work differently?

Re: right align arabic in table-cell
Posted by Jason Harrop <jh...@gmail.com>.
Hi Glenn
Thanks for this; it works nicely.
In the mixed LTR and RTL content in the same table case:-
Word's pPr/bidi maps to block/@text-align="right"
Word's rPr/rtl maps to bidi-override (with the attributes you provided).
cheers .. Jason

I'm not familiar with WordML, but basically, you need to decide whether the
table is a LTR or RTL table, which will determine (ignoring vertical modes):
- whether columns proceed from LTR or RTL
- the mapping of WM relative properties *-start and *-end to absolute
directions -*left and *-right.
- the default paragraph bidi level for content in the scope of the table
(that doesn't have an overriding WM, e.g., that might be specified in a
descendant block-container);
If you want to mix LTR and RTL content in the same table, you will need to
specify appropriate overrides to produce the desired result:
- enclose the content of a block in a table-cell with bidi-override
- specify text-align="right" on RTL blocks in a LTR table cell
For example, in a LTR table containing RTL cell content:
<table writing-mode="ltr">
...
<table-cell text-align="right">
<block><bidi-override unicode-bidi="embed" direction="rtl">RTL content in a
LTR table cell</bidi-override></block>
</table-cell>
...
</table>
Note that text-align doesn't actually apply to table-cell, but rather,
applies to block. However, we can write the text-align property on
table-cell since it is inherited by its children. This might be useful if
the cell contains multiple blocks and you don't want to specify text-align
on them individually.

Re: right align arabic in table-cell
Posted by Jason Harrop <jh...@gmail.com>.
Its a Word document I'm converting to FO, and in it, bidi is a
paragraph level property:
http://webapp.docx4java.org/OnlineDemo/ecma376/WordML/bidi_1.html
The table in question contains some cells with English content (left
aligned), and others with Arabic content (in Word, these ones are
right aligned by the bidi property).

Re: right align arabic in table-cell

Bummer. I guess I could nest a table in the table-cell. Any reason
that wouldn't work?

No. I guess I wasn't plain enough. You need to put writing mode on table to
affect the table cells. What you've done above doesn't change the start/end
edges of the cell, just the start/end edges of the content in the cell. The
cell still maps start to left and end to right. Note that you have to make
the choice on the table as a whole.

Re: right align arabic in table-cell
Posted by Jason Harrop <jh...@gmail.com>.
Hi Glenn
Thanks very much for that.
So the following should right align in the table cell?
<table-cell xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format">
<block-container writing-mode="rl-tb">
<block>
<inline>المدينة</inline>
</block>
</block-container>
<table-cell>
But that didn't work in FOP 1.1 nor with
http://ci.apache.org/projects/xmlgraphics/fop/snapshots/fop-20140319.jar
(Refer May 2011 thread "Complex Script, BIDI text supported?")
cheers .. Jason

Re: right align arabic in table-cell
Posted by Glenn Adams <gl...@skynav.com>.
Per XSL-FO 1.1 [1]:
"Property writing-mode applies to: fo:page-sequence, fo:simple-page-master,
fo:region-body, fo:region-before, fo:region-after, fo:region-start,
fo:region-end, fo:block-container, fo:inline-container, and fo:table."
As you can, none of these is fo:block. You need to specify it on fo:table
or something higher up the tree. Note that specifying a RTL WM on fo:table
causes columns to be numbered from right to left, i.e., the first column
will be right-most.
