RE: Example of how to use fox:widow-content-limit and fox:orphan-content-limit

Title: RE: Example of how to use fox:widow-content-limit and fox:orphan-content-limit

Seems simple enough. I copied fox:widow-content-limit into the DocBook calsTable template:

<xsl:template name="calsTable">

  <xsl:variable name="keep.together">

    <xsl:call-template name="pi.dbfo_keep-together"/>

  </xsl:variable>

  <xsl:for-each select="tgroup">

    <fo:table fox:widow-content-limit="3 * 1.2em" xsl:use-attribute-sets="table.table.properties">

      <xsl:if test="$keep.together != ''">

        <xsl:attribute name="keep-together.within-column">

          <xsl:value-of select="$keep.together"/>

        </xsl:attribute>

      </xsl:if>

      <xsl:call-template name="table.frame"/>

      <xsl:if test="following-sibling::tgroup">

        <xsl:attribute name="border-bottom-width">0pt</xsl:attribute>

        <xsl:attribute name="border-bottom-style">none</xsl:attribute>

        <xsl:attribute name="padding-bottom">0pt</xsl:attribute>

        <xsl:attribute name="margin-bottom">0pt</xsl:attribute>

        <xsl:attribute name="space-after">0pt</xsl:attribute>

        <xsl:attribute name="space-after.minimum">0pt</xsl:attribute>

        <xsl:attribute name="space-after.optimum">0pt</xsl:attribute>

        <xsl:attribute name="space-after.maximum">0pt</xsl:attribute>

      </xsl:if>

      <xsl:if test="preceding-sibling::tgroup">

        <xsl:attribute name="border-top-width">0pt</xsl:attribute>

        <xsl:attribute name="border-top-style">none</xsl:attribute>

        <xsl:attribute name="padding-top">0pt</xsl:attribute>

        <xsl:attribute name="margin-top">0pt</xsl:attribute>

        <xsl:attribute name="space-before">0pt</xsl:attribute>

        <xsl:attribute name="space-before.minimum">0pt</xsl:attribute>

        <xsl:attribute name="space-before.optimum">0pt</xsl:attribute>

        <xsl:attribute name="space-before.maximum">0pt</xsl:attribute>

      </xsl:if>

      <xsl:apply-templates select="."/>

    </fo:table>

  </xsl:for-each>

</xsl:template>

However, when I build now I get the following exception. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

Regards,

Subject: Re: Example of how to use fox:widow-content-limit and fox:orphan-content-limit

There are a few examples in our test suite:

http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/xmlgraphics/fop/trunk/test/layoutengine/standard-testcases/table_fox_orphan-content-limit_1.xml?view=markup

http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/xmlgraphics/fop/trunk/test/layoutengine/standard-testcases/table_fox_widow-content-limit_1.xml?view=markup

http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/xmlgraphics/fop/trunk/test/layoutengine/standard-testcases/table_fox_widow-content-limit_2.xml?view=markup

Documentation:

http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/0.94/extensions.html#widow-orphan-content-limit

Please note that normal widow/orphan processing is done using normal

XSL-FO properties. The two extension properties here are for special

cases in tables and lists only! If the documentation is not clear enough,

please tell us what we can do to improve it.
