Hello,
I have a problem w/ XEP 3.3.x (Stamped Client) on <fo:list-block/>
elements, of which I think it might be a bug in XEP 3.3.x.
I use Norm Walsh's DocBook XSLT 1.56.0 files to create PDF's. (However,
I think, the version of the XSLT's doesn't matter).
If I process the following small section w/ these files, and run the
resulting XSL:FO through XEP, I get very weird output. It seems as if
the <fo:list-item-body/> element did not get enough place to be rendered
as it should be.
<!-- snip -->
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE section SYSTEM "docbookx.dtd">
<section> <title>Title</title>
<variablelist>
<varlistentry>
<term>instr(<instr>)</term><listitem> <simplelist
type="vert" columns="5">
<member><computeroutput>set:
0</computeroutput></member> <member><computeroutput>res:
1</computeroutput></member> </simplelist>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
</variablelist>
</section>
<!-- snip! -->
Observations
------------
[1] When I use XEP 3.2.x, the same generated FO renders beautifully. (I
added an example as PDF).
[2] When I remove the "provisional-distance-between-starts", then the
label (obviously) is narrowed in its width, but the body renders
correcly.
[3] When I *change* the "provisional-distance-between-starts" to some
smaller values, I can see how the list-body items start to unwrap to
eventually be completely on one line (as expected). Again, the label is
narrowed in its width.
[4] Strange: If I display the PDF in Acrobat Reader 5.1.0, I can see the
"set:" and "res:" text displayed *right-to-left* above the "0"es. If I,
however, zoom in above 111%, the "set:" and "res:" text is not anymore
displayed(!). In Acrobat 4, this doesn't happen, instead the "set:" and
"res:" text is always displayed *right-to-left* above the "0"es. Might
be an Acrobat Reader issue, though.
[5] I use W2K, JVM 1.4.1 from SUN
[6] For your convenience, I added the XML, the FO file as well as the
generated PDF's.
[7] The "zvon.fo" is a much simpler FO example from ZVON.org that
renders OK both in XEP 3.3.x and XEP 3.2.3.
QUESTION: Might this be a bug in XEP or do I need to customize Norm's
Stylesheets (that worked well until now)? From my understanding, the FO
that is generated by Norm's XSLT Stylesheets is "compliant", although a
*bit* complex sometimes. It might however be, that there is some
non-compliant output, or that I missed something important.
Did anyone else see this "out in the wild"? Any comment or hint or
solution appreciated.
Best regards,
Johann Richard
