Alternative to overflow="hidden" for table cells?
Hi everybody,
I need to clip the content of table cells. IIUC overflow="hidden" is not
supported yet. From my naïve point of view I'd assume it shouldn't be
too hard to implement this - is there a special reason for the lack of
this feature?
ATM I'm using an inline SVG as workaround, but this has a massive impact
on the processing time. Is there a more elegant workaround? I wouldn't
like to resort to hard-coding a string length limit if I can avoid it …
Thanks a lot in advance!

thanks, that did the trick!
I had actually tried this before (you gave the same answer when this
question had been asked earlier). But the overflow attribute had no
effect on the block-container element, so I wasn't sure if it was really
implemented. Now I have upgraded to FOP 0.95 and with this version it
works fine.

If you look at http://www.w3.org/TR/xsl11/#fo_table-cell, you'll see
that "overflow" is not in the list of applicable properties. That's
because table-cell only generates a reference area but no viewport area.
If you want to make sure that cell content is clipped you need to put it
in a block-container where you can specify the overflow property. That's
going to be more light-weight and faster than the SVG work-around.
