Subject: Re: [xsl] XSL wish list - page column gap/separator line From: John Cavalieri <john.cavalieri@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 12 Feb 2010 14:52:38 -0600 |
Thanks Tony. I submitted an enhancement to the XSLFO bugzilla (8962). And FYI, I suggested that we share the names from CSS3 multi-column (http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-multicol/). # 4. Column gaps and rules * 4.1. column-gap * 4.2. column-rule-color * 4.3. column-rule-style * 4.4. column-rule-width * 4.5. column-rule Later, John John Cavalieri john.cavalieri@xxxxxxxxx > Date: Thu, 11 Feb 2010 22:56:11 +0000 > To: xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > From: Tony Graham <Tony.Graham@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> > Subject: Re: [xsl] XSL wish list - page column gap/separator line > Message-ID: <87k4ujfkl0.fsf@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> > > On Thu, Feb 11 2010 21:51:02 +0000, john.cavalieri@xxxxxxxxx wrote: >> I don't know if there is a current wish list for enhancements to the >> XSL-FO spec --- if there is can we add semantics for a page column > > The XSL 2.0 requirements document is at http://www.w3.org/TR/xslfo20-req/ > > Unfortunately, the survey to which it refers closed after six months, > but you can still provide comments and feedback using the W3C public > Bugzilla [1]. > >> gap/separator line?
