**** THINGS TO DO ****
Support XSL Working Draft 18 October 2000
1.One category of tasks will be to implement missing formatting objects.
basic
fo:character
fo:declarations
fo:leader [at the moment only partially]
fo:multi-case
fo:table-and-caption
fo:table-header
fo:wrapper
extended
fo:bidi-override
fo:color-profile
fo:float
fo:footnote
fo:footnote-body
fo:initial-property-set
fo:inline-container
fo:marker
fo:multi-properties
fo:multi-property-set
fo:multi-switch
fo:multi-toggle
fo:region-end
fo:region-start
fo:retrieve-marker
fo:table-caption
fo:table-footer
fo:title
2. done
3. done
4.A fourth, and not insignificant, category of tasks is to decide upon and
implement all reasonable properties required by the specification. This
also means that at this point, until further review, no FO can be considered
to be compliant.
a) CHANGED
space-after.optimum (Incomplete)
space-before.optimum (Incomplete)
white-space-treatment has to be renamed to white-space-collapse and adjusted
keep-with-next (Changed)
b) NEW
1.alignment-adjust 26.min-width
2.baseline-identifier 27.number-columns-repeated
3.baseline-shift 28.number-columns-spanned
4.block-progression-dimension 29.number-rows-spanned
5.character 30.orphans
6.clip 31.overflow
7.column-number 32.page-break-after
8.content-type 33.page-break-before
9.direction 34.precedence
10.display-align 35.ref-id
11.dominant-baseline 36.reference-orientation
12.font-variant 37.region-name
13.format 38.relative-align
14.grouping-separator 39.role
15.grouping-size 40.rule-style
16.inline-progression-dimension 41.source-document
17.keep-with-previous 42.space-after
18.leader-length 43.space-before
19.leader-pattern 44.space-end
20.letter-value 45.space-start
21.line-stacking-strategy
22.master-name 47.visibility
23.max-height 48.widows
24.max-width 49.writing-mode
25.min-height 50.z-index
5.A fifth category of tasks is the ongoing effort to promote maintainability,
write
more and better documentation, and to refine the build process.
a) Add the property files to the source code (how is the vote on this?)
b) add examples so that all the FOs supported are used in some example
6. Redo or work on the classes/properties which have been fixed only in a superficial way
to conform to the latest working draft
- leader is just a renamed display-rule and must be rewritten:
it is now (wd 3.2000) generating inline-areas and not block areas
and has a more complex function
- inline is just a renamed inline-sequence and must be worked on:
it is now (wd 3.2000) generating an inline-area itself
**** Bugs ****
- colour not continued onto subsequent pages if coloured block goes over page
- keep-next doesn't work and doubles the text lines which should be moved to the next page
- lists containing list do not keep their indentation correctly over a page boundary
- border width in fo:table is added to the start position of the next block or
table (see page 6 in table.fo for a test case)
SVG
- SVG linearGradients don't appear the same as in other SVG Viewers
AWT Previewer:
