Noisy output when formatting DocBook despite -q
I'm trying to fix or suppress the warnings I'm getting from FOP 0.94 in
formatting MySQL++'s (http://tangentsoft.net/mysql++/) user manual. (To
try it yourself, download MySQL++, then go in to doc/userman and say
"make pdf".)
I get 1800+ lines of errors, but there are just a few types:
- fo:table, table-layout="auto" is currently not supported by FOP
I've tried disabling this one by trying to set the default table width
to 100% in my fo.xsl customization layer, but it doesn't help. I'm
aware that I could probably turn on FOP extensions to suppress it, but
I'd rather use a standard method.
- Line 1 of a paragraph overflows the available area. (fo:block,
location: 2/33495)
- The contents of row 1 are taller than they should be
Are these problems due to the DocBook stylesheets (using 1.69.1 here) or
are they problems in FOP? Can I suppress these without just redirecting
stderr to /dev/null? I actually used to do that, but it also suppresses
true errors like Java stack traces when I crash FOP.

For what it's worth, most of the errors were due to DocBook stylesheets
that were...shall we say, "heavily customized" by Red Hat. They caused
the FO output to default to table column widths of 1%, which may work
fine with a FO processor that can do automatic table layout, but which
really annoys FOP.
More details in a related thread on the DocBook users' mailing list.

I'm afraid you wont have much luck...

You can fix this by adding an attribute table-layout="fixed" to every
table in your customization layer. If there is no such attribute, FOP
uses the default table-layout="auto", but automatic table layout isn't
supported yet, alas. The error message doesn't have anything to do with
the table width.

I don't think you can easily silence these messages without overriding
the FOP logger.

I don't know. I'd have to take a look at the generated FO files.

Indeed.

Okay. I'm trying to avoid upgrading the stylesheets for testing
reasons, because other things on this system generate DocBook, so if
we're not using what we ship to customers... It's the old dogfood problem.

This one I don't see, but it's probably a 1.72 thing. I'll keep this in
mind for when I do decide to upgrade.

No, in fact, that's perfect. I've actually removed all of these
warnings with font-size=85% here.

Our coding style has a line length limit, so if this warning crops back
up again, it's a good thing, because it means someone's not following
the rules.
Thanks for the help!

Well it does have an effect if I add it to the fo.xsl customization
file, and by using at least the 1.72.0 stylesheets. It might well be
that this will work only with recent releases of the stylesheets.
To avoid the other warning (‘... falling back to proportional-
column-width(1)’), I had to modify the DocBook source and put two
colspec with a colwidth attribute, instead of only one colspec:
<colspec colsep="1" rowsep="1" colwidth="*"/>
<colspec colsep="1" rowsep="1" colwidth="*"/>

Simply because there is no possibility to break the text over several
lines/pages. This is not dependent on the toolchain but rather on the
input document. In your particular case this is caused by the program
listings, which have too long lines. I managed to reduce the number of
warnings to only 3 by adding font-size="80%" to the
‘monospace.verbatim.properties’ attribute set, but this is perhaps not
what you want. You may let FOP automatically wrap the text, by removing
the wrap-option="no-wrap" from the same attribute set —but honestly the
result won’t look very good. Or you may implement the line-wrapping in
your source code extraction tool.

Yes.
It seems to have no effect. I've tried setting it two ways. First, in
the command that does .dbx to .fo processing:
xsltproc --stringparam fop1.extensions 1 ....
and in my fo.xsl file, which is a customization layer for the above
process, so this should be equivalent:
<xsl:param name="fop1.extensions" select="1"/>
The complaint about table-layout="auto" appears regardless.

Given that I'm using DocBook and not generating FO myself, why would
this happen?

You mean the ‘fop1.extensions’ stylesheet parameter? Well, that’s
already what this parameter is doing actually. Anyway, AFAIK this
parameter doesn’t really introduce FOP extensions, but rather tweaks the
output to make FOP handle it more nicely, by using plain XSL-FO tricks.
So I think it’s safe enabling it.
As to this particular problem:
- you should first upgrade to the newest 1.73.2 stylesheets, the 1.69.1
are really old now.
- I’ve experienced that enabling the ‘fop1.extensions’ parameter is not
sufficient if you don’t specify column widths in the DocBook source.
Well the warning will be different: “table-layout="fixed" and
column-width unspecified => falling back to
proportional-column-width(1)”
If you add colspec elements in the source you should be ok.
> - Line 1 of a paragraph overflows the available area. (fo:block,

Not sure you want to ignore this one. This usually means that some
content goes in the margin, possibly resulting in text being clipped.
> - The contents of row 1 are taller than they should be
This is because a table row has a specified height but its content
overflows it. You may want to determine how those heights are introduced
(probably the default stylesheets, but it’s a bit surprising), and
remove them. That said, appart from the annoying warning, the output
will be fine.

Vincent

Re: How to put batch process into background on Mac OS

James,
Your suggestion works. I have no idea where the vm arguments are in
the fop script. So I changed my script to invoke the jar directly,
adding the headless argument. I had to move all the jar files in fop/
lib to the build directory to get this to work:
java -Djava.awt.headless=true -jar /Applications/fop-0.94/build/
fop.jar -fo $foo -pdf ../pdf_files/$state.pdf
Thanks for the tip.

Re: How to put batch process into background on Mac OS
Posted by Terry Ofner <to...@comcast.net>.
Steve,
Yep. That works too. On 0.94 the fop_exec_command is near the bottom
of the fop script and looks like this:
fop_exec_command="exec \"$JAVACMD\" -Djava.awt.headless=true
$LOGCHOICE $LOGLEVEL -classpath \"$LOCALCLASSPATH\" $FOP_OPTS
org.apache.fop.cli.Main $fop_exec_args"
Note: The -Djava.awt.headless=true was originally missing.
The only problem with changing the fop script is that it will only
impact my installation. If I ever pass this process off to someone
else (or update my version of fop), I will have to remember to change
the exec command. I suppose that I would have to mess with something
either way. (I would have to move all the jar files to the build
directory.)
Either way, all is well now.
Thanks.

Re: How to put batch process into background on Mac OS

I had looked at the fop script I had and saw it there. I wasn't sure that
I had made the change or not. In any case, if it's helpful, it should
look like:
fop_exec_command="exec \"$JAVACMD\" ${ENDORSED} -Djava.awt.headless=true
$LOGCHOICE $LOGLEVEL -classpath \"$LOCALCLASSPATH\" $FOP_OPTS
org.apache.fop.cli.Main $fop_exec_args"
(I'm using 0.93, so it might be slightly different).
That should avoid any icons or desktop interaction.

Actually that probably won't do what you want. Adding -
Djava.awt.headless=true to the vm arguments in the fop script probably
will work.

Re: How to put batch process into background on Mac OS

nice does not seem to change the outcome. It only changes the
priority of the process. When it runs, it still places fop in the
foreground. Here is what I have tried:
nice /Applications/fop-0.94/fop -fo $foo -pdf ../pdf_files/$state.pdf &
nice -n 20 /Applications/fop-0.94/fop -fo $foo -pdf ../pdf_files/
$state.pdf &
I have also added & at the command line:
./createPDF.sh &
Any other options?

Use 'nice' to run it. Alter the script so that the fop execution looks
like:
nice /Applications/fop-0.94/fop -fo $foo -pdf ../pdf_files/$state.pdf
You can check the man page for nice for more info.

How to put batch process into background on Mac OS
Posted by Terry Ofner <to...@comcast.net>.
This is not a huge matter. More on the line of an annoyance. And I
may need to take this question to a java list rather than this list.
If so, just point me in the right direction.
At any rate, I have an XSLT stylesheet that produces 50+ separate fo
documents. I then run the shell script below to batch produce the pdf
documents:
#!/bin/sh
for foo in *.fo
do
state=`basename $foo .fo`
/Applications/fop-0.94/fop -fo $foo -pdf ../pdf_files/$state.pdf
done
When I run this script on my Mac (OS X 10.4.11, java version
"1.5.0_13" fop-0.94), org.apache.fop.cli.main takes control of the
desktop, stopping whatever it is I am doing for about 5 seconds. I
gain control again for about 5 seconds until fop pumps out another
pdf document. I basically have to step away from the computer for the
8 minutes that the batch process takes. Adding & and wait to the main
line of the script does not seem to work:
/Applications/fop-0.94/fop -fo $foo -pdf ../pdf_files/$state.pdf &
wait
done
The first script above on Ubuntu linux runs in the background without
interrupting other running process.
Any simple solutions?
