Subject: [xsl] XSL:FO -- FOP, Leader Spacing, and Text Alignment From: Brook Ellingwood <brook@xxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 10 Mar 2003 17:55:08 -0800 |
Hi, This is partly a question about whether FOP is actually behaving properly, and partly a feeler to see if anyone has a cleverer solution than the ones I've contemplated. I'm using FOP-0.20.4 to generate a product catalog in PDF and, in the table of contents section, I'm running into issues with getting the page numbers to align in an aesthetically pleasing manner. Here's my code for the block: <fo:block font-size="12pt" font-family="arial" font-weight="normal" background-color="#ffffff"> <fo:basic-link internal-destination="{./ProductName}"> <xsl:value-of select="./ProductName" /> <fo:leader leader-pattern="dots"/> <fo:page-number-citation ref-id="{./ProductName}"/> </fo:basic-link> </fo:block> And here's a, uhm, simulacrum of the part of the output that's ugly: Foo 1 ..... 9 Foo 2 ..... 10 If that's coming through the listserv right, note that "9" is aligned to be above the tens place in "10" and not the ones place as you might expect. There's a version of this catalog online at http://www.mootkat.com/dds_products.pdf if you want to see the real thing. My first question is: Shouldn't the leader take up all the whitespace, so there isn't any trailing space after the shorter strings? My second question is: Can anyone think of a way to deal with this that doesn't involve putting the page numbers in a separate table cell? Not that that would be the end of the world, but I keep thinking there's a simpler way that I'm missing. Nothing I've tried with <fo:inline> does anything. Thanks. ++++++++++++++++ Brook Ellingwood mootkat studio: http://www.mootkat.com phone: 206.650.4312 ~ email: brook@xxxxxxxxxxx XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
