Subject: [xsl] Calculating the size of a string From: Philip Vallone <philip.vallone@xxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 15 Aug 2012 07:13:59 -0400 |
Hi List, I have an xml input that will be processed into a FO file, via Saxon and Apache's FOP (1.0). The resulting string will eventually be output to a fo:table-cell. FOP does a decent job of hyphenating, however it is not perfect. If I have a string input like this: <pnr>PN-THIS.IS.A.LONG.PN12.23.56</pnr> The output on PDF looks like this: PN- THIS.IS.A.LONG.PN12.23.56 the problems is that my cell is very small. I would like to have it look like this: PN-THIS.IS.A. LONG.PN12. 23.56 I found a workaround, where if I include spaces in the string, I get better results: <pnr>PN-THIS.IS.A.LONG. PN12.23. 56</pnr> However, this requires changing the input, which I don't want to do. I can not use string-length because the size of the space can vary depending on the characters used. For example, 'WWWWW', is bigger than 'iiiii' in actual size. Both return a string-length of 5, but are not the same size. So, I've written a java extension that will return the size of the Rectangle2D width. I have an idea of where the 'line' break should be (140 the width of the framing rectangle), but I am not sure how to translate the width into a function in xslt to add the spaces. Any ideas? Thanks for the help Phil
