lining up amounts w/ and w/o parentheses
My pdf is a bill which lists positive and negative amounts in a table,
and I need to use parentheses for the negative amounts. The problem is
that those w/ parentheses don't line up with the others - they're pushed
left (because everything is right-aligned). I've tried this:
<xsl:variable name="space" select="' '"/>
...
$<xsl:value-of select="current_am"/><xsl:value-of select="$space"/>
($<xsl:value-of select="paid_am"/>)
$<xsl:value-of select="total_am"/><xsl:value-of select="$space"/>
but to no avail. I've also tried using white-space-collapse="false" in
the enclosing <fo:block>, but it still seems to be lost as well as
causing problems due to stylesheet indenting. Has anyone else run into
this problem?

Another option is to disable kerning. This has helped me in the past.

In my experience, when I have weird alignment problems like this, I
place the contents of the <fo:block> inside <fo:inline> and it helps:
<fo:block>
<fo:inline>[Insert your value here]</fo:inline>
</fo:block>
Works for me...

You could also put parentheses around *everything* but make the
parentheses for positive numbers the same color as your background-color
(white if there is no background-color). Of course, it would get more
challenging if you alternate the background-color of table-rows, but
there are solutions to that as well. Unfortunately, the parentheses
would be present in the PDF files if someone were to select and copy the
text but if you're just "printing" you're OK.

What you really want here is to align on the decimal point, but according to
http://xml.apache.org/fop/compliance.html#fo-property-text-align
text-align=<string> is not yet supported. The best workaround that I can

Re: White space problems with TXTRenderer
Posted by Jeremias Maerki <de...@greenmail.ch>.
The TXT renderer is certainly not FOP's most sophisticated renderer and,
unfortunately, its developer is no longer active. Please read about the
text renderer here: http://xml.apache.org/fop/output.html#txt
I know there have been similar questions in the past. So please search
through the mailing list archives. I'm pretty sure you'll find some
useful information. Good luck.

White space problems with TXTRenderer
Posted by Mukul <mu...@yahoo.com>.
Hello ,
I am using FOP 0.20.4 to produce TXT file from XML i/p
document. By the posts I have read about FOP
TXTRenderer, it seems it does not generate production
quality TXT o/p.
for e.g. when I write in XSL-FO as
<fo:block>
<!--some text.. -->
</fo:block>
the TXT o/p generate extra spaces. The TXT o/p is also
not consistent. For e.g. if my XML has many
records(tags) , sometimes white spaces problems comes
in for e.g. 8th record , sometimes white space problem
comes in some other record.
Is there a way to control the o/p behaviour
predictably? I want that the TXT o/p should appear as
equal to a PDF o/p. Ideally the same stylesheet must
produce identical PDF and TXT o/p s. Is it possible!
Regards,
Mukul
