On Friday, Dec 29, 2000, Tobi Kamke asked: <fragen> I have again two questions now concerning orphans / widows and number-columns-spanned. I'm using FOP 0.15 and it prints a warning that the orphans and widows trait of simple-page-master is ignored. Isn't this feature implemented yet and if yes, does anybody know, when FOP can deal with it? My other question is similar namely does FOP support the number-columns-spanned trait of the <fo:table-cell> tag? </fragen> A little background: the latest release of FOP now supports all breaks in page and column context. It is a very natural progression from there, for me to do breaks in line context, and keeps in all 3 contexts. This is in fact what I am working on at the moment. Widows and orphans support ties in very naturally with the above - I think I can assure you with a high degree of confidence that FOP CVS will have support for this within 3 weeks, and you will also see it in FOP 0.17. To the second question: a colleague of mine, Keiron Liddle (who is also FOP's SVG guy), has been doing work on tables (also footnotes, actually). I see from the latest STATUS file that colspan support is partly done. I can check the latest source and find out what that means... I would recommend that in general, checking the STATUS file, and the features.html and limitations.html docs, is your best resource as to what FOP does, or does not do, at any given time. Also, if your decision process has led you to FOP, don't forget that the fop-dev mailing list gives you exposure to all the FOP developers and committers, and you will get better answers and faster results. If FOP cannot do something then we will tell you, and probably steer you to better alternatives for what you want to do (I have personally used PassiveTeX, RenderX XEP, Unicorn FO and AntennaXSL. I obviously support FOP, but even more I'm interested in seeing adoption of XSL-FO. The rest of the FOP community feels the same way.) If your question deals with generic XSL FO, however, then clearly this is the place to ask. Hope this helps.
