Subject: DOCBOOK-APPS: RE: Tables do not appear in fo
Jeroen -- I was unsubscribed from the docbook-apps list for some reason. Hopefully it is fixed now. Anyway, as far as extensions are concerned, there are two different types. There are XSLT processor extensions, that are applicable during the transformation phase. (i.e. going from XML to XSL-FO using XSLTProc, in your case.) There are also XSL Formatter extensions, that apply during the publishing phase (XSL-FO to PDF using FOP, in your case). XSL Formatter extensions are nothing more than additional elements in a namespace other than the fo: namespace that are inserted in the FO document. These are supported by *any* XSLT processor, but are specific to XSL-FO formatters. They are controlled by the fop.extensions, xep.extensions, passivetex.extensions, and arbortext.extensions parameters. These include features in the resulting PDF such as PDF bookmarks and PDF meta-information. XSLT processor extensions are completely separate. The extension that is causing you problems (the tablecolumns.extension) is of this variety. It is a function Norm wrote in Java for "normalizing" table column widths in a manner more compatible with a wider range of web browsers. Being written in Java, it is only accessible when using Saxon or Xalan as your XSLT formatter. In summary, leave fop.extensions on. This will give you additional features in your PDF document. Turn off tablecolumns.extensions, though, as XSLTProc doesn't support it. Jeff Beal Tools Specialist ANSYS, Inc. (724) 514-3150 ============================== Jeff, I'm using xsltproc and FOP, and have to try out some more stuff to do some recommendations for the company I work for. What I understand is that xsltproc supports fop extensions automaticly, so in my customization layer I must turn these off. Thnx. Jeroen.
