Hi,
I am finally at the end of finishing my first xsl-fo generated pdf report using
fop-0.20.4. The xml I generate has tags which are populated by text from html
<textarea> tags. These textarea texts preserve
all the spaces and the newline charcters.
I now want to display this information in pdf as:
Item description:
1. This is a new item.
2. It is on sale now
3. This item can be used for multipurpose jobs such as
gardening, lawn mowing, tree cutting, tree decorating and other purposes
4. It has a 30 day warranty
OR AS
Item description:
This is a new item. It is on sale now. This item can be used
for multipurpose jobs such as gardening, lawn mowing …….
Depending on how the user has entered it into the HTML form.
I have used <fo:block>
and <fo:inline>. I cannot use the linefeed-treatment
and the white-space-treatment as they are not yet implemented. <When I use
the white-space-collapse="false"> I get the data as I need but the
whole <fo:block> is
marginally shifted right from the data in region-before content. Also wrap
around text such as in description #3 do not appear correctly. The second line
starts marginally on the left side (is actually aligned with the region-before)
text. I want every line on the pdf to be left
aligned.
Here is the xsl:
<fo:page-sequence
master-reference="firstAndRest">
<fo:static-content
flow-name="header-first">
<fo:block>
<xsl:call-template name="ProgessNoteHeaderFirst"/>
</fo:block>
</fo:static-content>
<fo:static-content flow-name="header-rest">
<fo:block>
<xsl:call-template name="ProgessNoteHeaderRest"/>
</fo:block>
</fo:static-content>
<fo:static-content
flow-name="xsl-region-after">
<fo:block
text-align="center">
<fo:page-number/>
</fo:block>
</fo:static-content>
<fo:flow
flow-name="xsl-region-body">
<fo:block>
<xsl:call-template name="ProgressNoteBody"/>
</fo:block>
</fo:flow>
</fo:page-sequence>
<xsl:template
name="ProgressNoteBody">
<xsl:variable
name="a" select="Note_12"/> <!—to display if only the xml
tag has some data à
<xsl:if
test="string-length($a) != 0 ">
<fo:block
font-family="Times" font-size="11pt"> <!—to adda blank line à
<fo:inline  </fo:inline>
</fo:block>
<fo:block
text-align="start" font-family="Times"
font-size="11pt" white-space-collapse="false">
<fo:inline
font-weight="bold">
CHIEF COMPLAINT:
</fo:inline>
<fo:inline
text-align="start">
<xsl:text>  </xsl:text>
<xsl:apply-templates
select="Note_12"/>
</fo:inline>
</fo:block>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>
Can anybody please help me out with this formatting structure.
Thanks,
jigs
