Re: Problem with fox:outline in FOP Trunk (was: Hello)
The snapshots are currently broken due to long path names. But that's
not the problem you're experiencing. The problem is that fox:outline [1]
is not implemented in FOP Trunk anymore. It has been superseded by the
new bookmark elements from XSL-FO 1.1 [2].
I wonder if we should add fox:outline again for backwards compatibility.
Hmm.
A little request: Please put a descriptive text in the subject line next
time. Thanks.

In principle, yes. Unfortunately, FOP 0.20.5 doesn't
implement "height" properly, which may lead to an increased
height of the table row.

Image - Scale Width/Height
Posted by Prakash R <ra...@yahoo.com>.
Can someone have a box (eg: table cell) set to a
specific height and width and say to have an image
scale to the size of that box??
If images are taller than the height, then scale by
height. But if images are wider than the widths, then
scale by width. But if both height and width are
higher, then scale it such that the image fits in the
box but still maintains its aspect ratio.
Thank you.

The reason why XSL is strict about this is to guard against XSLT
errors--i.e., a erroneously un-activated XSLT template causing your
fo:static-content element to be empty on (say) page 240, and you not
knowing that because your XSL processor silently kept running (or just
giving a warning message among several screens of other output.) By
halting, it allows you to go back and fix the template error instead of
submitting an erroneously built document to someone else.

XSL 1.0, 6.4.19, fo:static-content says:
http://www.w3.org/TR/xsl/slice6.html#fo_static-content
Contents:
(%block;)+
So you must at least have one block as a child for fo:static-content (It
can be empty). The redesigned FOP is much more strict about the
interpretation of the specification.

There's no direct info that they are broken, but we removed the links to
the snapshots. We will reenable the link when the snapshot production is
fixed. Until then we recommend that you download the sources using
Subversion.

FOP 1.0 is a different application from 0.20.5. They are not
backwards-compatible, just like Struts 1.0.2 and 1.27 aren't. Users who
prefer the API of 0.20.5 can continue on with that version. But FOP 1.0
really needs to move past the architectural baggage of 0.20.5, lest we
return to what Joerg had called the Great FOP Depression again of few
people understanding the code or being able to fix it/improve it.
Ordinarily here, I would still say "yes" though to adding fox:outline to
1.0, so the stylesheet continues to work, providing we have solid
deprecation warnings for users to switch to the new FO's. But I'm
reluctant to do so for this reason: IIRC fox:outline has a very nasty
content model in 0.20.5, basically you can place it anywhere--and you'd
have to ease up so much on the internal validation to support that that
everyone else would be hurt with (1) NPE's due to a watered-down
validation, plus (2) the already-complex downstream layout logic being
clogged with validation logic again in order to patch all the NPE's
caused by not doing validation. So I'm -0.8 on returning this
functionality--bookmarks were implemented really sloppily in 0.20.5, and
I don't think we want to hurt 1.0's architecture by putting that monster
back in.
Still, I think that FOP 1.0 should at least *ignore* every fox:outline
element, i.e., not raise an error and halt. Users can test trunk with
their stylesheets and then add the XSL WD1.1 bookmarks in later.

Re: Problem with fox:outline in FOP Trunk (was: Hello)

Hello again,
Sorry about that, and thanks very much to both of you
for your replies.
I din´t say I´m using dockbook, together with xlstproc
and fop.
I´m just a newbie with all of this, but after your
replies, I´ve managed to correct docbook-xsl sources
to handle properly fo:bookmark-tree and it´s
descendants.
Now I´m getting another error wich has got something
to do fo:static content asking for one or more block
entries.
I mean, what to do If I´d like to use fop´s latest
snapshot + docbook as a tool-chain?
Anywhere form where to get info about this specific
issue?
Also, Jeremias said the actual snapshot is broken due
to long path names in this case, where can I find info
on whether the actual snapshot is actually broken or
not (and where), so I sync of all this and handle it
and work always with latest versions?
