docbook, fo and cocoon2
Hi,
I have copied your settings and stylesheets that you use in Avalon to
generate the documentation (especially the PDF part). Thanks very much for
that ! I have it working except for generating tables in PDF. Unfortunately,
there are no tables in the "developing with avalon" XML source so I cannot
copy a working example ... :)
The generating in HTML works fine (i.e. docbook2body.xsl). However the
generation to PDF does not print anything (docbook2fo.xsl) ... Have you had
any success with this ?
Also, is there a cocoon flag to turn on so that I can see the intermediate
generated files (like the xml file resulting from the docbook2fo.xsl
transformation) ? I know this is a cocoon question but you may have used it
...
Here is my table definition :
<table>
<tgroup cols="2">
<colspec colname="c1"/>
<colspec colname="c2"/>
<tbody>
<row>
<entry>xxx</entry>
<entry>xxx</entry>
</row>
</tbody>
</tgroup>
</ltable>
Thanks for any help
-Vincent
Note: At some point we will need to create a jakarta project that would
contain all the docbook stylesheets for the Jakarta style ...

"Also, is there a cocoon flag to turn on so that I can see the intermediate
generated files (like the xml file resulting from the docbook2fo.xsl
transformation) ? I know this is a cocoon question but you may have used it"
There is a LogTransformer that will send all the SAX events to a file of your
choosing. You can then figure out what is going on from there.
Alternatively, you can specify URLs that give you the pure XML results of
each step. IOW, instead of xx.pdf, you would use xx.xml, xx-fo.xml, etc.

The stylesheet is supposed to be able to convert from DocBook's notion of
widths to FO. In fact, the conversion XSL came from the XSL:FO spec. Use
the '*' notation for proportional widths. I.e. for one column to be 1/3
the width and the other column to be 2/3 the total width, you would use this:
<column width="*"/>
<column width="2*"/>
The stylesheet will take care of the rest.

Thanks Berin,
I had come to that conclusion after reading a bit more on the fop web site.
I have modified the stylesheet to automatically include fo:block. I still
have a problem with specifying column width using 'number*' format (it works
with '200pt', i.e. fixed size). It seems the stylesheet does not work for
proprtional values.
Also, do you know if fop supports <simple-link> (what <ulink> is transformed
into). Fop gives the following error :
[java] ERROR 10047 [fop ] (): Unknown formatting object
http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format^simple-link
Thanks for your help.
Do you know how to debug cocoon2 (see the text in my first post) ?
Cheers,
-Vincent

FOP has some limitations that force some markup constraints in
the table. One of them is that you have to specify width in
the colspec. The other is that all your information must be
in an enclosing <fo:block/> element. Therefore, inside your
markup you may want to do something like this:
<row>
<entry><para>xxx</para></entry>
<entry><para>xxx</para></entry>
</row>
I may have to change the stylesheet to automatically insert the
blocks for me.
