XSL-FO Study Notes (2)

XSL-FO Study Notes (2)

This course focuses on the definition of the list, table, multi-page layout, footer header, page encoding, link, and so on in FO.

1. List

The body structure is as follows:

>

	main structure
	list item definition
	label definition
	label description
... more item...

<Fo-listblock> the provisional-distance-between-starts Feature Definition of the element <FO: List-item-label> and <FO: the distance between the start part of list-item-body>. The provisional-label-separation feature defines the distance between the end part of <FO: List-item-label> and the start part of <FO: List-item-block>.

<FO: List-item-label> and <FO: the start-indent feature of the list-item-block> element defines from the normal starting margin (the starting position of the section above the List) to <FO: the distance between the start part of list-item-label> or <FO: List-item-body>.

<FO: List-item-label> and <FO: list-item-body> define the end-indent feature of the element from the normal ending margin (the Ending position of the section above the list) the distance between the end of the <FO: List-item-body> element.

Number list <ol>

<FO: List-item-label end-indent = "label-end ()>

<FO: block>

<XSL: number value = "position ()" format = "1."/>

</FO: block>

</FO: List-item-label>

Symbol list <ul>, defining characters with UTF-8

<FO: List-item-label end-indent = "label-end ()>

<FO: block> • </block>

</FO: List-item-label>

For a custom list, the simplest way is to place the term (Label) on a single row and display it in black, and then start the definition of the term (Label) in the next line.

2. Table)

Compare XSL-FO with HTML

XSL-FO Elements	HTML Element
<FO: Table>	<Table>
<FO: Table-body>	<Tbody> (not commonly used)
<FO: Table-column>	This information is included in the Cols attribute of the HTML <Table> element.
<FO: Table-row>	<Tr>
<FO: Table-cell>	<TD>
<FO: Table-caption>	<Caption> although the XSL-FO imposes more restrictions on how titles and tables must appear in the source document.

For example:

<FO: Table-layout = "fixed">

<FO: Table-column-width = "150pt"/>

<FO: Table-column-width = "150pt"/>

<FO: Table-body>

<FO: Table-row>

<FO: Table-cell border-style = "solid"

Border-color = "black" border-width = "1pt"

Padding-before = "3pt" padding-after = "3pt"

Padding-Start = "3pt" padding-end = "3pt">

<FO: block> some text </FO: block>

</FO: Table-cell>

<FO: Table-cell border-style = "solid"

Border-color = "black" border-width = "1pt"

Padding-before = "3pt" padding-after = "3pt"

Padding-Start = "3pt" padding-end = "3pt">

<FO: block> some more text </FO: block>

</FO: Table-cell>

</FO: Table-row>

<FO: Table-row>

<FO: Table-cell border-style = "solid"

Border-color = "black" border-width = "1pt"

Padding-before = "3pt" padding-after = "3pt"

Padding-Start = "3pt" padding-end = "3pt">

<FO: block> first cell, last row </FO: block>

</FO: Table-cell>

<FO: Table-cell border-style = "solid"

Border-color = "black" border-width = "1pt"

Padding-before = "3pt" padding-after = "3pt"

Padding-Start = "3pt" padding-end = "3pt">

<FO: block> last cell, last row </FO: block>

</FO: Table-cell>

</FO: Table-row>

</FO: Table-body>

</FO: Table>

Merge Cells

<FO: The number-columns-spanned and number-rows-spanned attributes of table-cell> can be used to combine cells. The value set is a numerical value.

Header

<FO: Table-head> can contain <Table-row>. The following level is <Table-cell>.

Table title, as follows:

<FO: Table-and-caption>

<FO: Table-caption>

...

</FO: Table-caption>

<FO: Table>

...

</FO: Table>

</FO: Table-and-caption>

3. Multi-page layout Sequence

You can use <FO: conditional-page-master-reference> and its master-reference to specify the layout name. Page-position or odd-or-even indicates the page conditions.

<FO: page-sequence-master-name = "standard">

<FO: repeatable-page-master-alternatives>

<FO: conditional-page-master-Reference

Master-reference = "first" Page-position = "first"/>

<FO: conditional-page-master-Reference

Master-reference = "Left" odd-or-even = "even"/>

<FO: conditional-page-master-Reference

Master-reference = "right" odd-or-even = "odd"/>

</FO: repeatable-page-master-alternatives>

</FO: page-sequence-master>

4. Footer Header

You can use The flow-name attribute is XSL-region-before and XSL-region-after, respectively. Generally, <FO: simple-page-master> defines the attributes of a region name. Only the region name (region-name) can be referenced here.

5. Page number

Use <FO: page-number/> and <FO: page-sequence master-reference = "standard" Initial-page-number = "57" format = "I"/> to set the display format (Rome) and start number (57)

6. Links

Adding the ID attribute to any element can generate anchor ). You can use the internal-destination attribute of the FO: Basic-link element to specify the anchor. In this FO: the basic-link element and its end tag are link texts.

Special Page number reference

<FO: page-number-citation> the anchor specified by the ref-ID attribute of the element can be displayed on the page where the anchor is located.

You can use the external-destination attribute of FO: Basic-link to specify links to the web. For example:

<FO: Basic-link color = "blue" external-Destination = "http://hedong.3322.org"> sauteed bamboo </FO: Basic-link>

7. fop extends XSL-FO and provides the "bookmarks" function for defining PDF files.

8. Chinese Character document

Special processing is required for displaying Chinese characters.

1) create a font metrics file, which has different methods for TTC or TTF.

Java org. Apache. fop. fonts. Apps. ttfreader c: \ winnt \ fonts \ simkai. TTF simkai. xml

Java org. Apache. fop. fonts. Apps. ttfreader-ttcname "simsun" C: \ winnt \ fonts \ simsun. TTC simsun. xml

-After ttcname, specify the font name to be extracted from the TTC file. Both commands must be case sensitive.

2) Modify $ fophome/confi/userconfig. XML, and add

<Font metrics-file = "simsun. xml" kerning = "yes" embed-file = "C: \ winnt \ fonts \ simsun. TTC">

<Font-triplet name = "mysimsun" style = "normal" Weight = "normal"/>

</Font>

<Font metrics-file = "simkai. xml" kerning = "yes" embed-file = "C: \ winnt \ fonts \ simkai. TTF">

<Font-triplet name = "mysimkai" style = "normal" Weight = "normal"/>

</Font>

3) Put simkai. xml and simsun. XML in the $ fophome directory because fop. Sh or fop. bat is in this directory. Run

Fop-c conf/userconfig. xml 1.fo 1.pdf

Generation 1.pdf.

4) 1. You can download fo from here. 1. Fo is modified based on reference 2.
