| **** THINGS TO DO **** |
| |
| Support XSL Working Draft 27 March 2000 |
| |
| 1.One category of tasks will be to implement missing formatting objects. |
| There are 6 such objects: |
| |
| fo:character |
| fo:leader |
| fo:table-and-caption |
| fo:table-header |
| fo:multi-case |
| fo:wrapper |
| |
| 2.A second category of tasks will be to update existing objects. |
| This typically entails renaming modifications. There are at least 3 of these: |
| |
| fo:page-sequence-master |
| fo:single-page-master-reference |
| fo:repeatable-page-master-reference |
| |
| 3.A third category of tasks is to retire obsolescent objects. The primary issue |
| here seems to be the migration of FOP from officially supporting |
| DisplayGraphic and InlineGraphic FO's to officially supporting at least an |
| ExternalGraphic FO, and ideally also the InstreamForeignObject FO, the latter |
| aimed at SVG support. |
| |
| 4.A fourth, and not insignificant, category of tasks is to decide upon and |
| implement all reasonable properties required by the specification. This |
| also means that at this point, until further review, no FO can be considered |
| to be compliant. |
| |
| a) CHANGED |
| 21.space-after.optimum (Incomplete) |
| 22.space-before.optimum (Incomplete) |
| 25.white-space-treatment (Dropped/Changed) |
| |
| b) NEW |
| 1.alignment-adjust 26.min-width |
| 2.baseline-identifier 27.number-columns-repeated |
| 3.baseline-shift 28.number-columns-spanned |
| 4.block-progression-dimension 29.number-rows-spanned |
| 5.character 30.orphans |
| 6.clip 31.overflow |
| 7.column-number 32.page-break-after |
| 8.content-type 33.page-break-before |
| 9.direction 34.precedence |
| 10.display-align 35.ref-id |
| 11.dominant-baseline 36.reference-orientation |
| 12.font-variant 37.region-name |
| 13.format 38.relative-align |
| 14.grouping-separator 39.role |
| 15.grouping-size 40.rule-style |
| 16.inline-progression-dimension 41.source-document |
| 17.keep-with-previous 42.space-after |
| 18.leader-length 43.space-before |
| 19.leader-pattern 44.space-end |
| 20.letter-value 45.space-start |
| 21.line-stacking-strategy |
| 22.master-name 47.visibility |
| 23.max-height 48.widows |
| 24.max-width 49.writing-mode |
| 25.min-height 50.z-index |
| |
| 5.A fifth category of tasks is the ongoing effort to promote maintainability, |
| write |
| more and better documentation, and to refine the build process. |
| a) Don't use 'make' any longer and make sure that build.sh and build.bat work |
| b) Add the property files to the source code (how is the vote on this?) |
| c) update the examples to the new spec |
| d) add examples so that all the FOs supported are used in some example |
| |
| **** Bugs **** |
| |
| - SVG linearGradients don't appear the same as in other SVG Viewers |
| - colour not continued onto subsequent pages if coloured block goes over page |
| - no SVG support in AWTCommandLine |
| - keep-next doesn't work and doubles the text lines which should be moved to the next page |
| - pdf files created with Fop don't print correctly on postscript printers |
| - lists containing list do not keep their indentation correctly over a page boundary |
| |
| with AWT Previewer: |
| |
| - currently the layout process uses PDF fonts. This gives sometimes |
| trouble with java.awt.Font |
| - we need some progress messages even if the process itself is fast |
| - GIF format is supported by the viewer, but disabled in FOP. BMP is |
| not done, because there are no standard libraries. |
| - more comments/english comments |
| - first preview is painted twice (flashing screen) |
| - should "preview" be an option when calling FOP instead of having |
| it's own main method? |
| |
