DOCBOOK-APPS: RE: Tables do not appear in fo

["Jeroen Alblas" <jeroena@infosupport.com>]

Jeff,

I'm using xsltproc and FOP, and have to try out some more stuff to do some recommendations for the company I work for. What I understand is that xsltproc supports fop extensions automaticly, so in my customization layer I must turn these off.

Thnx.

Jeroen.

Which XSLT processor are you using?
Which FO formatter are you using?

The adjustColumnWidths function is an extension function Norm wrote.  It is
not implemented in XSL, but relies on different processor-specific
mechanisms.  If you're using Saxon, for example, you need to include
docbook-xsl-1.60.1/extensions/saxon65.jar in your java CLASSPATH.  If you're
using Xalan, you need to put xalan2.jar in your CLASSPATH.  If you're using
XSLTProc, you should not be using extensions.  Norm is working on writing
these extension functions in Python (at least the adjustColumnWidths
function), but that isn't done yet.

I have found that for HTML output, losing the adjustColumnWidths function is
a bad thing, but both Xep and FOP have good enough support for FO tables
that they don't need it.

Hello,

When I have this option turned on in my docbook customization layer:

<!-- Use Extensions -->
<xsl:param name="use.extensions" select="'1'"/>

tables don't appear in the XSLFO file and I read:

"No adjustColumnWidths function available."

When I turn extensions off, they're back!

What's the problem?
