page-number-citation and formatting

[Phillip Harling <ph...@db.com>]

I'm having a small problem when using <fo:page-number-citation/> and formatting.  I am generating a table of contents using a table, and wish to right align the page numbers.  If the table of contents appears at the beginning of the document, the numbers don't get right-aligned, but if the table of contents appears at the end of the document then they get aligned correctly.

What appears to be happening is that if a forward reference is made to a page citation then fop doesn't know how big the page number will be and doesn't allocate any area for it.  If the page number is known, then the space it allocates is known and correct alignment can occur.

I've had a look at org.apache.fop.fo.flow.PageNumberCitation and this seems to bear up to the analysis.

Has anyone else experienced this problem and if so, do you have a work-around?

Phil.

Philip,

    I don't have a work around, but I just reported this problem myself. It
seems to be a general problem with fo:inline processing as I have
experienced the same thing working with marker values as well as page number
citations.

We had the same problem you had, Phil. I admit, the output is not too
representable due to this (among other) problems of FOP. Another problem
would be that, if you use a filler of type ".....", it assumes a fix width.
It does not seem to be able to fill out the variable space between the text
of a TOC heading and the corresponding page number, like is shown in the
following example:

Long text long text ..................... 12
Short text .............................. 18
