Odd or Even in the xsl-region-body
Hi,
I would like to know if it's possible to test the odd or even condition
while writing in non-static content. Here's an example of what I want to
do :
<fo:block font-size="13pt"
border-style="solid"
border-width="0pt"
font-family="Helvetica Black"
color="white">
<xsl:if test="current_page='odd'">
<xsl:attribute name="text-align">start</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:if>
<xsl:if test="current_page='even'">
<xsl:attribute name="text-align">end</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:if>
</fo:block>
You may have guessed it, I just wanna align my titles in function of the
odd or even pages. How can I manage it ?
Cheers mates, and thanks for your help.

Yes, because you have to be aware that XSLT happens before layout. FOP
only gets the XSL-FO, no XSLT stuff. You don't have control over
anything that goes on in FOP's layout process during XSLT. That's why I
said you have to control page breaking yourself if you want to
accomplish it in XSLT.

You're welcome. Good luck, I need to get some sleep now.

In an ideal world you would probably be using text-align="inside" and
text-align="outside". But that's not implemented in FOP AFAIK. The
approach you're trying to follow will only work if you try to do the
whole page-breaking stuff yourself in XSLT. But that could get real
messy and might not solve your problem. If I were you I would try to
alter the layout requirements. Maybe someone else has a good idea.

You've got the file xalan.bat (which does this for FOP) in your
0.20.5rc2 root directory.
Just run this from the command line:
xalan -in foo.xml -xsl foo.xsl -out foo.fo
(where foo.xml is the path to your XML file & foo.xsl is the path to
your XSL file).
Brought to you by our friendly neighborhood FOP committers...

Thanks! In future I'll build test cases for questions to the list. Is
there a way to get fop to save the .fo file it generates during the
xslt transform?

This was not intended. Well, in FOP it's not considered good styl
to mix text and block FO like tables like you did (read: you'll run
into bugs).
As a workaround, put the text into its own block:
<fo:block><xsl:value-of select="@id" /></fo:block>

Usually, it is easier if a small but complete and self-contained
FO document was offered.

This is fixed now in CVS.

New in rc2: Section heading is being repeated
Posted by Roger Roelofs <re...@datacompusa.com>.
It's probably me...but since I installed 0.20.5rc2 my section headings
have been repeating at the top and bottom of the block in the pdf.
Here's a fragment of the xsl file, and a fragment of the xml it
operates on.
Could someone better at fo tell me if it is my code or a change in fop?
xsl---------------
<xsl:template match="Section">
<fo:block
space-before="6pt"
text-align="start"
font-size="12pt"
font-weight="bold" border=".2pt solid black">
<xsl:value-of select="@id" />
<fo:table table-layout="fixed" font-weight="normal">
<fo:table-column column-width="40pt" />
<fo:table-column column-width="30pt" />
<fo:table-column column-width="200pt" />
<fo:table-column column-width="250pt" />
<fo:table-body>
<xsl:apply-templates select="Item" />
</fo:table-body>
</fo:table>
</fo:block>
</xsl:template>
xml-------------------
<Section id="Dwelling Condition">
<Item id="lDCBldgPresent">
<Label>Other Bldgs</Label>
<Value>No</Value>
<Score>0</Score>
</Item>
<Item id="lDCGaragePresent">
<Label>Garage</Label>
<Value>Yes</Value>
<Score>0</Score>
</Item>
</Section>
PDF output -----------
Dwelling Condition
0 Other Bldgs No
0 Garage Yes
Dwelling Condition <---- this line is new as of today.
