Subject: formatting rtf styles, page background, and other pb From: Franck delahaye <franck.delahaye@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 22 Apr 1998 10:15:29 +0200 |
Hello everybody, I'm currently in a survey phase for the developpement of a document production system that needs to format the documents in rtf for the customers. I'd like to choose a DSSSL/Jade solution but I actually face a number of problems, that I describe below. I fear having to dive a long time in the DSSSL theory to find answers, so, any experience and help is welcome. Regards, Franck e-mail: franck.delahaye@xxxxxxxxxx ======the problems============ problem: style formatting capabilities ====================================== description: I have SGML documents that I have to communicate to a customer that have a WinWord based document system. I manage my documents owing to a dtd in which I have defined, let's say, common stuctures like: - <chapter>, <chapter-title>, <sub-chapter>, <sub-chapter-title> - <list> that may contain <list> or list-item - <table> that have table-row that have table-data - <paragraph> ... My customer manages his document system owing to a WinWord model with the following styles: chapter-title, sub-chapter-title list-item table-data paragraph So, he asks me to communicate rtf documents that use these styles. question: is it possible to generate such styles with DSSSL/Jade and if yes how ? problem: external graphic in a table cell ========================================== description: I have an HTML document with an <IMG> (a logo) in table cell (<TD>), I make an rtf output with jade, but the height of the rtf cell is not correct (it is half of the height of the logo), and so I see just half of the logo. question: any solution ? problem: page background ======================== description: I would like to produce, from my SGML doc, an rtf document that have: a frame with visible 1pt thick borders as the page bakground, that surrounds the informations (text, tables, graphics) of each page. Typically, this could be done with WinWord by defining a page model (.dot file), inserting in it a "text frame", resizing it up to the correct dimensions, and setting the borders with the desired thickness. questions: it seems that simple-page-sequence does not provide the materials for this, does it ? I'm a little confused with page-sequence and page-model, flow objects, but is it the way ? ... any help is welcome. DSSSList info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/dsssl/dssslist
