Re: [docbook-apps] QandA sets misaligned when using FOP 0.20.5

Hi Dean,
You need to use DocBook XSL 1.71.1 and set the stylesheet parameter 
fop1.extensions=1 to avoid that error.  Since 0.93 just came out, it 
remains to be seen how well it works with DocBook XSL, but my initial tests 
are encouraging.  This is a long-awaited release, and it makes me more 
inclined to fix FOP-related issues.  Bug reports welcome (best reported on 
the DocBook SourceForge site).

Ok - I have been leary of the FOP betas but since it is now production 
level, is Docbook XSL 1.70.1 completely compatible with it?

The reason I ask is that 0.93 produces the following error when I use FOP 
0.93

Jan 10, 2007 9:56:44 AM org.apache.fop.cli.Main startFOP
SEVERE: Exception
java.lang.IllegalStateException: Flow 'xsl-region-body' does not map to the 
region-body in page-master 'blank'.  FOP presently does not support this.

I'm not a XSL or FO guru, but it appears that FOP is more stringent on some 
things than 0.20.5 is. Would moving to 1.71.1 fix this problem?

The qandaentry elements are formatted with a fo:list-item.  The problem is 
the fop-0.20.5 does not ignore the space-before property in the 
list-item-body, when the spec says it should.  Try the newly released fop 
0.93.  It handles list-blocks better.

Does anyone know why the QandA stylesheets misalign the question number 
with FOP 0.20.5 going out to PDF? They end up with the numbers on the line 
above the question.

This is using the standard Docbook XSL 1.70.1 fo/docbook.xsl sheet.

This came up before and I tried to fix it, but came up empty. It works 
right with XEP and the standard sheets.
