Re: [docbook-apps] imageobject in task leads to strange result in pdf

["Bob Stayton" <bobs@sagehill.net>]

Hi Lars,

The task template apparently applies the  attribute-set named 'formal.object.properties' to task, and that attribute-set has a keep-together.within-column="always" attribute.  With your three tall images that prevent the task from fitting on one page, FOP fails to handle such a large keep.

 

The solution for this task is to add a processing instruction:

 

<task>

<?dbfo  keep-together="auto"?>

 

If you want to globally turn off the keep for all tasks, then your customization layer should have:

 

<xsl:attribute-set name="formal.object.properties">

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

    <xsl:choose>

      <xsl:when test="self::task">auto</xsl:when>

      <xsl:othewise>always</xsl:otherwise>

    </xsl:choose>

  </xsl:attribute>

</xsl:attribute-set>

 

Personally I think task should have its own attribute-set to make such customizations easier for tasks.

Subject: [docbook-apps] imageobject in task leads to strange result in pdf

Hello,

I'm trying to utilize the <task> element. But if I add imageobjects the pdf result looks broken. 

The example document I use is listed below and the rendering result is attached.

Any advice what I'm doing wrong? The input document validates in Eclipse. 

Best regards, Lars
