Re: [docbook-apps] dbfo-need processing instruction and FOP 1.0

Hi Jeff,

The feature was turned off for FOP 1.0 as of 1.76.1 because it did not work as it should.  I last investigated this issue in July 2010:

 

http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/docbook-apps/201007/msg00235.html

 

As described in that message, the issue was incorrect management of vertical space when using space-after.precendence="force".  If that property is now supported in FOP 1.0, then it should work. I don't have time to test this right now.   To turn it on for FOP 1, you will need to customize the template named "pi.dbfo-need" in fo/pi.xsl to remove the xsl:choose clause that excludes $fop1.extensions = 1.  I'll be curious to see what your results are.

Should I expect the dbfo-need processing instruction to work with DocBook 1.76.1 NS stylesheets and FOP 1.0?

 

I previously used dbfo-need and it worked (somewhat) with FOP 1.0 and DocBook 1.73.2. Now it doesn't seem to work at all.
