Subject: flexible line-spacing? From: "Christof Drescher" <drescher@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 13 Jan 2000 10:42:16 +0100 |
Hi! When looking at the DSSSL specs, I discovered something which I don't think could have been forgotten, so I wonder if anyone has a solution: If I want to have a document formatted with the pages on one spread being balanced (i.e. the content of the page shall fill exactly the page height less the top and bottom margins, which is normally done by putting the placement path of the last text line on the bottom margin itself), this can be achieved by having the "space-before" or "space-after" of a paragraph being of type "display-space" with a minimum and a maximum length spec. This works fine if there is enough "stretchability" in these specs. Sometimes though the stretachbility is not enough, or there is no space between paragraphs at all (e.g. if a long paragraph fills a page completely). Normal typesetting would then resort to changing the line-spacing a little bit. But how can this be achieved in DSSSL? I did not find any characteristic to have such a flexible line-spacing generated? Has this simply been forgotten in the specs, or am I missing something? Cheers, Christof Drescher Pro Image GbR, Marburg, Germany P.S.: If it should have been, is it in the coming XSL specs? Anyone? DSSSList info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/dsssl/dssslist
