Subject: [xsl] line-breaking and hyphenation in XSL-FO From: Mukul <mukulw3@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 6 Mar 2003 22:00:34 -0800 (PST) |
Hello , I studied the line-wrapping and hyphenation features in XSL-FO. I had a two column table. In the 1st column I was displaying some labels, and in the 2nd column I am displaying data from XML file which I am wrapping with hyphens. I am able to do it successfully, but I still have few doubts about the algorithm used to split lines and hyphenation in XSL-FO. I am using FOP as a Formatting Object processor. I still did not get chance to use other FO processors. I read that FOP uses TeX algorithm to wrap lines and produce hyphenation, which uses the concept of a language specific hyphenation table. I could not find mention of TeX in XSL-FO spec. Are FO implementation free to use TeX or possibly other typesetting standards? But I have found that hyphenation properties in XSL-FO spec closely resembles TeX algorithm. Was XSL-FO line-breaking and hyphenation specs written keeping TeX in mind? Any other comments and the links about line-breaking and hyphenation algorithm in XSL-FO would enlighten me.. Regards, Mukul __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
