Spurious space between table-header and table header.
I'm getting a unindetified space between my table-headers and their
table-bodies. I managed to make them go away by setting the body
space-before to a negative ammount, but I could not identify the source of
the space. I tried setting margin, padding and spaces to zero in both the
header and the body but the space persisted. It appears only when I define
a border around my header. Anyone noticed something similar? (I'm using
0.20.4)

I don't know. There are people around more knowledgable about the XSL-FO
specs who can probably answer that.

Neither could I. But XSL-FO often refers to CSS. So maybe you're right.

Not a PDF limitation. More an implementation detail. Something that
eventually needs to be fixed, maybe.

Probably not. From the discussion about two years ago I gather that the
border handling is non-trivial. Border support for table-rows has been
removed after long discussions.

Yes. It doesn't get lost this way. But unfortunately, that won't
necessarily mean it'll get fixed soon.

No, it's not. Current CVS has this problem.

FWIW, I too have seen this problem on download, but I just thought it
was a freak accident (actually, I saw it once on my own PC and again on
my admin's PC). Both times I just renamed the extension, and it worked
(in fact, it gave an alert which said something like, "This tar consists
solely of another tar file. Would you like to decompress that tar file
too?" I think this issue should be made into a FAQ. Although it may
not've come up very often, I suspect it will start coming up more often.
Of course, it'd be nice to just fix the problem. Anyone have an idea of
how it occurs, and why it's intermittent?

He didn't make a typo, I downloaded the same file and it also had the
tar.tar extension. That server has a glitch in their pipeline somewhere.

On occasion, tar files I download have an extra "tar" appended to their
extension. I am not certain why. Nevertheless, when this happens, you
may see filenames like:
*.tar.gz.tar
Rename it to:
*.tar.gz
Ditto for *.tgz.tar. I've not ever seen *.tar.tar; it's likely you've
made a typo. Uncompressed tar files put out for download are rare.

Change your file extension from *.tar.tar to *.tar.gz and try a gain.

I realize this is hardly a FOP problem, but opening the gift-wrapping has
this newbie
stymied. I found the following message and reply in the archive, which
describes my
problem exactly, but no particular solution is offered. Can someone
enlighten me?
Problem: I downloaded the latest FOP binary download
(fop-0.20.5rc3a-bin.tar.tar) from the
distribution site http://xml.apache.org/fop/download.htm. I dunno what a tar
file is, but
WinZip seems to think it can handle it, so I gather its a compressed
distribution format.
Winzip returns the error message "Error reading header after processing 0
entries". Same
result with Winzip current 8.5 release and also their beta 9.0.
So how does one untar a tar? Is there a preferred tool? Or is the file
damaged?

tar is actually a gzip format ( i see this has already been
answered ... )
i would have recommended using WinRAR, which seems to
have no probz with doubled .tar-extension.

Hash: SHA1
my guess is this has sth to do with inheritance
top or bottom? both get "doubled" by them being defined
in table-header & table-row ( last one implicitly ? )
would try adding them to the row instead & leaving them out
of the table-header ( unless i really needed a header with
multiple rows )

Hmm, looks like a bug. I'm sure Jörg knows all about it and I didn't pay
attention again. :-) Funny thing is that the gap between table-header
and table-body is exactly the width of the border-top-width. Change that
value and you change the gap.
Work-around:
- Remove the border-top-* on the table-header
- Add these border-top attributes to table instead.
I hope this helps.
