Table continuation headers
A colleague of mine is working to implement company standards for
tables. In PDF, those standards require table continuation headers, by
repeating the table title followed by the string "(Continued)" at the
top of the page.
XEP supports this, but FOP doesn't. Does anyone know of plans to support
this in FOP in the future?

RE: Table continuation headers
Posted by Craig Christophersen <cr...@synesis7.com>.
The value for variable $tabNum is achievied by using xsl:number and count attribute to count the tables in the source xml, from whatever node you want to count from relative to the current table node.

Aha, of course. Thank you. It would probably be better that I ask my other questions in a more appropriate forum.

It takes a bit getting this to work, but it does work. Here is a link that helps:

Re: Table continuation headers
Posted by gavin bowe <ga...@oracle.com>.
Thanks Craig,
That's a handy workaround - although you can only use
<fo:retrieve-marker> within static content as far as I understand such
things. It would be good to know how to access the formal table number
(shown as $tabNum in the extract below).
The XSL for the continuation text would also need to be
internationalized and new localized entries created in the customization
layer files for each supported language. I'm not quite sure how to
implement the I18n bit - any "key" pointers would be welcome. I expect
that the placement of the text might also need to be internationalized
to support languages that don't read from top left to bottom right.

Hi Craig,
Thanks for the code and the link to D. Pawson's page! We'll give it a

RE: Table continuation headers
Posted by Craig Christophersen <cr...@synesis7.com>.
There is a way to accomplish this currently using retrieve-markers.
In fo:page-sequence element
<fo:static-content flow-name="xsl-region-before">
<fo:table table-layout="fixed" width="100%" border-bottom-style="solid" height="18mm">
<fo:table-column column-width="70mm"/>
<fo:table-column column-width="118mm"/>
<fo:table-body>
<fo:table-row height="6mm">
<fo:table-cell>
<fo:block font-size="11pt" text-align="left" font-weight="bold">
</fo:block>
</fo:table-cell>
<fo:table-cell>
</fo:table-cell>
</fo:table-row>
<fo:table-row height="6mm">
<fo:table-cell number-columns-spanned="2">
<fo:block font-size="11pt" text-align="left" font-weight="bold">
<xsl:value-of select="$pmc"/>
</fo:block>
</fo:table-cell>
</fo:table-row>
</fo:table-body>
</fo:table>
<fo:block font-size="10pt" font-style="italic" padding-before="2mm" padding-after="2mm" text-align="center" >
<fo:retrieve-marker retrieve-class-name="tab_continued" retrieve-position="first-starting-within-page" retrieve-boundary="page"/>
</fo:block>
</fo:static-content>
Then in fo:table-header element:
<xsl:for-each select="row">
<fo:table-row>
<fo:table-cell>
<fo:marker marker-class-name="tab_continued">
<fo:block font-size="10pt" text-indent="5mm" font-style="italic" text-align="center" keep-with-next="always" padding-before="1mm" padding-after="1mm" >
<fo:inline border-bottom-style="solid" border-width=".5pt">
Table <xsl:value-of select="$tabNum"/>  (Continued)
</fo:inline>
</fo:block>
</fo:marker>
</fo:table-cell>
</fo:table-row>
<fo:table-row> Then formatting for other rows.
Then in fo:table-body element:
<xsl:for-each select="row">
<xsl:if test="not(parent::tbody/preceding-sibling::thead)">
<fo:table-row padding-after="2mm">
<fo:table-cell padding-after="2mm">
<fo:marker marker-class-name="tab_continued">
<fo:block font-size="10pt" text-indent="5mm" font-style="italic" text-align="center" keep-with-next="always" padding-before="1mm" padding-after="2mm" >
<fo:inline border-bottom-style="solid" border-width=".5pt">
Table <xsl:value-of select="$tabNum"/>  (Continued)
</fo:inline>
</fo:block>
</fo:marker>
</fo:table-cell>
</fo:table-row>
</xsl:if>
<fo:table-row > <!-- other row formatting -->
It takes a bit getting this to work, but it does work. Here is a link that helps:
http://www.dpawson.co.uk/xsl/sect3/markers.html#d14055e100
Also there is more info out there if you search. Might even be some on this in users forum.
Hope it helps, Craig

Subject: Re: Table continuation headers
Incidentally I started looking at this recently but it will be a couple of months before I am able to show some code. I haven't written anything so far but I found there is already some code in FOP for table markers.
So we don't need to start from zero.

Yes. Table-marker support is on the roadmap, but other bugs/issues keep
getting in the way of implementing them, so we can't give you a firm ETA
on when they will be supported.

So does this mean that table continuation headers *are* on the roadmap,
or at least on the radar?

Correct, FOP does not currently support retrieve-table-marker. There has
been no activity on implementing this feature, so it definitely will not be
in FOP 1.1. I can't say when a patch or a volunteer will materialize to
work on this, so it will remain TBD until that time.

Perhaps you could describe what language features/extensions that XEP uses
to do this?
