Long text inclusions that don't break anymore

["Dennison, Cheri" <cherid@amazon.com>]

Howdy!

I'm upgrading to FOP 0.95 from 0.20.5 and from 1.70.1 to 1.74 for the DB stylesheets. I’ve got a guide that has code snippets xincluded, like so (from Bob’s section “Using XInclude for text inclusions”):

 

<example><title>My program listing</title>

  <programlisting><xi:include  href=""mycode.c" " parse="text" 

      xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude"/></programlisting>

</example>

 

With FOP 0.95/1.74.0 stylesheets, any long code snippets that normally break correctly across multiple pages no longer occupy multiple pages. Instead, the code snippet tries to be on a single PDF page (bleeding into the header/footer). If it’s longer than the full page, the top part and bottom part of the snippet gets cut off and is not displayed. If I just copy the code directly into the XML instead of xincluding it, it breaks fine across pages as expected.

 

Is this issue with Xincluded code snippets a known problem? Is there anything I can do about it? My apologies if this has been discussed; I tried looking in the archives and had no luck.

 

Muchas muchas gracias!
