Following are some changes that may be necessary to + your XSL-FO content in order to generate really accessible documents: + </p> + <ul> + <li>Table cells must have a table row as their parent.</li> + <li> + Images must have an alternate text: use the <code>fox:alt-text</code> extension attribute + (in the <a href="extensions.html#fox-namespace">fox namespace</a>) on + <code>fo:external-graphic</code> and <code>fo:instream-foreign-object</code> to specify a + short text describing the image. + </li> + <li> + Ensure that the order of <code>fo:block-container</code> elements in a page corresponds to + the reading order. + </li> + <li> + Specify the natural language of the document using the language and country properties + (or via the <code>xml:lang</code> shorthand property). + </li> + </ul> + </section> + <section id="customTags"> + <title>Customized Tagging</title> + <p>The <a href="#PDFReference">PDF Reference</a> defines a set of standard Structure Types to + tag content.

For example, you may want to make use of the ‘H1’ to ‘H6’ tags to + make the hierarchical structure of the document appear in the PDF.

A Level 1 Heading</fo:block> +<fo:block>This is the first paragraph of the first section...</fo:block> +...</source> + <p>If a non-standard structure type is specified, FOP will issue a warning and fall back to + the default tag associated to the Formatting Object.</p> + </section> + <section id="testing"> + <title>Testing</title> + <p> + Accessible PDFs can be tested, for example, using Adobe Acrobat Professional.

You tell the FopFactory what your desired output format + is. This is done by using the MIME type of the desired output format (ex. "application/pdf"). + You can use one of the MimeConstants.* constants. The second parameter is the + OutputStream you've setup up in step 2. + </li> + <li> + <strong>Step 4</strong> We recommend that you use JAXP Transformers even + if you don't do XSLT transformations to generate the XSL-FO file. This way + you can always use the same basic pattern. The example here sets up an + "identity transformer" which just passes the input (Source) unchanged to the + output (Result). You don't have to work with a SAXParser if you don't do any + XSLT transformations. + </li> + <li> + <strong>Step 5:</strong> Here you set up the input and output for the XSLT + transformation. The Source object is set up to load the "myfile.fo" file. + The Result is set up so the output of the XSLT transformation is sent to FOP. + The FO file is sent to FOP in the form of SAX events which is the most efficient + way. Please always avoid saving intermediate results to a file or a memory buffer + because that affects performance negatively. + </li> + <li> + <strong>Step 6:</strong> Finally, we start the XSLT transformation by starting + the JAXP Transformer. As soon as the JAXP Transformer starts to send its output + to FOP, FOP itself starts its processing in the background. When the + <code>transform()</code> method returns FOP will also have finished converting + the FO file to a PDF file and you can close the OutputStream. + <note label="Tip!"> + It's a good idea to enclose the whole conversion in a try..finally statement. If + you close the OutputStream in the finally section, this will make sure that the + OutputStream is properly closed even if an exception occurs during the conversion. + </note> + </li> + </ul> + <p> + If you're not totally familiar with JAXP Transformers, please have a look at the + <a href="#examples">Embedding examples</a> below. The section contains examples + for all sorts of use cases. If you look at all of them in turn you should be able + to see the patterns in use and the flexibility this approach offers without adding + too much complexity. + </p> + <p> + This may look complicated at first, but it's really just the combination of an + XSL transformation and a FOP run. It's also easy to comment out the FOP part + for debugging purposes, for example when you're tracking down a bug in your + stylesheet. You can easily write the XSL-FO output from the XSL transformation + to a file to check if that part generates the expected output. An example for that + can be found in the <a href="#examples">Embedding examples</a> (See "ExampleXML2FO"). + </p> + <section id="basic-logging"> + <title>Logging</title> + <p> + Logging is now a little different than it was in FOP 0.20.5. We've switched from + Avalon Logging to <a href="ext:commons-logging">Jakarta Commons Logging</a>. + While with Avalon Logging the loggers were directly given to FOP, FOP now retrieves + its logger(s) through a statically available LogFactory. This is similar to the + general pattern that you use when you work with Apache Log4J directly, for example. + We call this "static logging" (Commons Logging, Log4J) as opposed to "instance logging" + (Avalon Logging). This has a consequence: You can't give FOP a logger for each + processing run anymore. The log output of multiple, simultaneously running FOP instances + is sent to the same logger. + </p> + <p> + By default, <a href="ext:commons-logging">Jakarta Commons Logging</a> uses + JDK logging (available in JDKs 1.4 or higher) as its backend. You can configure Commons + Logging to use an alternative backend, for example Log4J.

Most people were using + log output as a means to get feedback from events within FOP. Therefore, FOP now + includes an <code>event</code> package which can be used to receive feedback from + the layout engine and other components within FOP <strong>per rendering run</strong>. + This feedback is not just some + text but event objects with parameters so these events can be interpreted by code. + Of course, there is a facility to turn these events into normal human-readable + messages. For details, please read on on the <a href="events.html">Events page</a>. + This leaves normal logging to be mostly a thing used by the FOP developers + although anyone can surely activate certain logging categories but the feedback + from the loggers won't be separated by processing runs.

During the redesign + the logging infrastructure was switched over to + <a href="http://commons.apache.org/logging/">Commons Logging</a> which is (like Log4J or + java.util.logging) a "static" logging framework (the logger is accessed through static + variables). This made it very difficult in a multi-threaded system to retrieve information + for a single processing run. + </p> + <p> + With FOP's event subsystem, we'd like to close this gap again and even go further. The + first point is to realize that we have two kinds of "logging". Firstly, we have the logging + infrastructure for the (FOP) developer who needs to be able to enable finer log messages + for certain parts of FOP to track down a certain problem. Secondly, we have the user who + would like to be informed about missing images, overflowing lines or substituted fonts. + These messages (or events) are targeted at less technical people and may ideally be + localized (translated). Furthermore, tool and solution builders would like to integrate + FOP into their own solutions. For example, an FO editor should be able to point the user + to the right place where a particular problem occurred while developing a document template. + Finally, some integrators would like to abort processing if a resource (an image or a font) + has not been found, while others would simply continue. The event system allows to + react on these events. + </p> + <p> + On this page, we won't discuss logging as such. We will show how the event subsystem can + be used for various tasks. We'll first look at the event subsystem from the consumer side. + Finally, the production of events inside FOP will be discussed (this is mostly interesting + for FOP developers only). + </p> + </section> + <section id="consumer"> + <title>The consumer side</title> + <p> + The event subsystem is located in the <code>org.apache.fop.events</code> package and its + base is the <code>Event</code> class. An instance is created for each event and is sent + to a set of <code>EventListener</code> instances by the <code>EventBroadcaster</code>. + An <code>Event</code> contains: + </p> + <ul> + <li>an event ID,</li> + <li>a source object (which generated the event),</li> + <li>a severity level (Info, Warning, Error and Fatal Error) and</li> + <li>a map of named parameters.</li> + </ul> + <p> + The <code>EventFormatter</code> class can be used to translate the events into + human-readable, localized messages. + </p> + <p> + A full example of what is shown here can be found in the + <code>examples/embedding/java/embedding/events</code> directory in the FOP distribution. + The example can also be accessed + <a href="http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/xmlgraphics/fop/trunk/examples/embedding/java/embedding/events/">via the web</a>. + </p> + <section id="write-listener"> + <title>Writing an EventListener</title> + <p> + The following code sample shows a very simple EventListener. It basically just sends + all events to System.out (stdout) or System.err (stderr) depending on the event severity. + </p> + <source><![CDATA[import org.apache.fop.events.Event; +import org.apache.fop.events.EventFormatter; +import org.apache.fop.events.EventListener; +import org.apache.fop.events.model.EventSeverity; + +/** A simple event listener that writes the events to stdout and stderr. */ +public class SysOutEventListener implements EventListener { + + /** {@inheritDoc} */ + public void processEvent(Event event) { + String msg = EventFormatter.format(event); + EventSeverity severity = event.getSeverity(); + if (severity == EventSeverity.INFO) { + System.out.println("[INFO ] " + msg); + } else if (severity == EventSeverity.WARN) { + System.out.println("[WARN ] " + msg); + } else if (severity == EventSeverity.ERROR) { + System.err.println("[ERROR] " + msg); + } else if (severity == EventSeverity.FATAL) { + System.err.println("[FATAL] " + msg); + } else { + assert false; + } + } +}]]></source> + <p> + You can see that for every event the method <code>processEvent</code> of the + <code>EventListener</code> will be called. Inside this method you can do whatever + processing you would like including throwing a <code>RuntimeException</code>, if you want + to abort the current processing run. + </p> + <p> + The code above also shows how you can turn an event into a human-readable, localized + message that can be presented to a user. The <code>EventFormatter</code> class does + this for you. It provides additional methods if you'd like to explicitly specify + the locale. + </p> + <p> + It is possible to gather all events for a whole processing run so they can be + evaluated afterwards. However, care should be taken about memory consumption since + the events provide references to objects inside FOP which may themselves have + references to other objects. So holding on to these objects may mean that whole + object trees cannot be released! + </p> + </section> + <section id="add-listener"> + <title>Adding an EventListener</title> + <p> + To register the event listener with FOP, get the <code>EventBroadcaster</code> which + is associated with the user agent (<code>FOUserAgent</code>) and add it there: + </p> + <source><![CDATA[FOUserAgent foUserAgent = fopFactory.newFOUserAgent(); +foUserAgent.getEventBroadcaster().addEventListener(new SysOutEventListener());]]></source> + <p> + Please note that this is done separately for each processing run, i.e. for each + new user agent. + </p> + </section> + <section id="listener-example1"> + <title>An additional listener example</title> + <p> + Here's an additional example of an event listener: + </p> + <p> + By default, FOP continues processing even if an image wasn't found. If you have + more strict requirements and want FOP to stop if an image is not available, you can + do something like the following in the simplest case: + </p> + <source><![CDATA[public class MyEventListener implements EventListener { + + public void processEvent(Event event) { + if ("org.apache.fop.ResourceEventProducer".equals( + event.getEventGroupID())) { + event.setSeverity(EventSeverity.FATAL); + } else { + //ignore all other events (or do something of your choice) + } + } + +}]]></source> + <p> + Increasing the event severity to FATAL will signal the event broadcaster to throw + an exception and stop further processing. In the above case, all resource-related + events will cause FOP to stop processing. + </p> + <p> + You can also customize the exception to throw (you can may throw a RuntimeException + or subclass yourself) and/or which event to respond to: + </p> + <source><![CDATA[public class MyEventListener implements EventListener { + + public void processEvent(Event event) { + if ("org.apache.fop.ResourceEventProducer.imageNotFound" + .equals(event.getEventID())) { + + //Get the FileNotFoundException that's part of the event's parameters + FileNotFoundException fnfe = (FileNotFoundException)event.getParam("fnfe"); + + throw new RuntimeException(EventFormatter.format(event), fnfe); + } else { + //ignore all other events (or do something of your choice) + } + } + +}]]></source> + <p> + This throws a <code>RuntimeException</code> with the <code>FileNotFoundException</code> + as the cause. Further processing effectively stops in FOP.

Just instantiate an <code>Event</code> object and fill + it with the necessary parameters. Then pass it to the <code>EventBroadcaster</code> + which distributes the events to the interested listeneners. Here's a code example: + </p> + <source><![CDATA[Event ev = new Event(this, "complain", EventSeverity.WARN, + Event.paramsBuilder() + .param("reason", "I'm tired") + .param("blah", new Integer(23)) + .build()); +EventBroadcaster broadcaster = [get it from somewhere]; +broadcaster.broadcastEvent(ev); +]]></source> + <p> + The <code>Event.paramsBuilder()</code> is a + <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluent_interface">fluent interface</a> + to help with the build-up of the parameters. You could just as well instantiate a + <code>Map</code> (<code>Map<String, Object></code>) and fill it with values. + </p> + </section> + <section id="event-producer"> + <title>The EventProducer interface</title> + <p> + To simplify event production, the event subsystem provides the <code>EventProducer</code> + interface. You can create interfaces which extend <code>EventProducer</code>. These + interfaces will contain one method per event to be generated. By contract, each event + method must have as its first parameter a parameter named "source" (Type Object) which + indicates the object that generated the event. After that come an arbitrary number of + parameters of any type as needed by the event. + </p> + <p> + The event producer interface does not need to have any implementation. The implementation + is produced at runtime by a dynamic proxy created by <code>DefaultEventBroadcaster</code>. + The dynamic proxy creates <code>Event</code> instances for each method call against + the event producer interface. Each parameter (except "source") is added to the event's + parameter map. + </p> + <p> + To simplify the code needed to get an instance of the event producer interface it is + suggested to create a public inner provider class inside the interface. + </p> + <p> + Here's an example of such an event producer interface: + </p> + <source><![CDATA[public interface MyEventProducer extends EventProducer { + + public class Provider { + + public static MyEventProducer get(EventBroadcaster broadcaster) { + return (MyEventProducer)broadcaster.getEventProducerFor(MyEventProducer.class); + } + } + + /** + * Complain about something. + * @param source the event source + * @param reason the reason for the complaint + * @param blah the complaint + * @event.severity WARN + */ + void complain(Object source, String reason, int blah); + +}]]></source> + <p> + To produce the same event as in the first example above, you'd use the following code: + </p> + <source><![CDATA[EventBroadcaster broadcaster = [get it from somewhere]; +TestEventProducer producer = TestEventProducer.Provider.get(broadcaster); +producer.complain(this, "I'm tired", 23);]]></source> + </section> + <section id="event-model"> + <title>The event model</title> + <p> + Inside an invocation handler for a dynamic proxy, there's no information about + the names of each parameter. The JVM doesn't provide it. The only thing you know is + the interface and method name. In order to properly fill the <code>Event</code>'s + parameter map we need to know the parameter names. These are retrieved from an + event object model. This is found in the <code>org.apache.fop.events.model</code> + package. The data for the object model is retrieved from an XML representation of the + event model that is loaded as a resource. The XML representation is generated using an + Ant task at build time (<code>ant resourcegen</code>). The Ant task (found in + <code>src/codegen/java/org/apache/fop/tools/EventProducerCollectorTask.java</code>) + scans FOP's sources for descendants of the <code>EventProducer</code> interface and + uses <a href="http://qdox.codehaus.org/">QDox</a> to parse these interfaces. + </p> + <p> + The event model XML files are generated during build by the Ant task mentioned above when + running the "resourcegen" task. So just run <code>"ant resourcegen"</code> if you receive + a <code>MissingResourceException</code> at runtime indicating that + <code>"event-model.xml"</code> is missing. + </p> + <p> + Primarily, the QDox-based collector task records the parameters' names and types. + Furthermore, it extracts additional attributes embedded as Javadoc comments from + the methods. At the moment, the only such attribute is "@event.severity" which indicates + the default event severity (which can be changed by event listeners). The example event + producer above shows the Javadocs for an event method. + </p> + <p> + There's one more information that is extracted from the event producer information for + the event model: an optional primary exception. The first exception in the "throws" + declaration of an event method is noted. It is used to throw an exception from + the invocation handler if the event has an event severity of "FATAL" when all + listeners have been called (listeners can update the event severity). Please note + that an implementation of + <code>org.apache.fop.events.EventExceptionManager$ExceptionFactory</code> has to be + registered for the <code>EventExceptionManager</code> to be able to construct the + exception from an event. + </p> + <p> + For a given application, there can be multiple event models active at the same time. + In FOP, each renderer is considered to be a plug-in and provides its own specific + event model. The individual event models are provided through an + <code>EventModelFactory</code>. This interface is implemented for each event model + and registered through the service provider mechanism + (see the <a href="#plug-ins">plug-ins section</a> for details). + </p> + </section> + <section id="event-severity"> + <title>Event severity</title> + <p> + Four different levels of severity for events has been defined: + </p> + <ol> + <li>INFO: informational only</li> + <li>WARN: a Warning</li> + <li>ERROR: an error condition from which FOP can recover. FOP will continue processing.</li> + <li>FATAL: a fatal error which causes an exception in the end and FOP will stop processing.</li> + </ol> + <p> + Event listeners can choose to ignore certain events based on their event severity. + Please note that you may recieve an event "twice" in a specific case: if there is + a fatal error an event is generated and sent to the listeners. After that an exception + is thrown with the same information and processing stops. If the fatal event is + shown to the user and the following exception is equally presented to the user it + may appear that the event is duplicated. Of course, the same information is just + published through two different channels. + </p> + </section> + <section id="plug-ins"> + <title>Plug-ins to the event subsystem</title> + <p> + The event subsystem is extensible. There are a number of extension points: + </p> + <ul> + <li> + <strong><code>org.apache.fop.events.model.EventModelFactory</code>:</strong> Provides + an event model to the event subsystem. + </li> + <li> + <strong><code>org.apache.fop.events.EventExceptionManager$ExceptionFactory</code>:</strong> + Creates exceptions for events, i.e. turns an event into a specific exception. + </li> + </ul> + <p> + The names in bold above are used as filenames for the service provider files that + are placed in the <code>META-INF/services</code> directory. That way, they are + automatically detected. This is a mechanism defined by the + <a href="http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/guide/jar/jar.html#Service%20Provider">JAR file specification</a>. + </p> + </section> + <section id="l10n"> + <title>Localization (L10n)</title> + <p> + One goal of the event subsystem was to have localized (translated) event messages. + The <code>EventFormatter</code> class can be used to convert an event to a + human-readable message. Each <code>EventProducer</code> can provide its own XML-based + translation file. If there is none, a central translation file is used, called + "EventFormatter.xml" (found in the same directory as the <code>EventFormatter</code> + class). + </p> + <p> + The XML format used by the <code>EventFormatter</code> is the same as + <a href="ext:cocoon">Apache Cocoon's</a> catalog format. Here's an example: + </p> + <source><![CDATA[<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> +<catalogue xml:lang="en"> + <message key="locator"> + [ (See position {loc})| (See {#gatherContextInfo})| (No context info available)] + </message> + <message key="org.apache.fop.render.rtf.RTFEventProducer.explicitTableColumnsRequired"> + RTF output requires that all table-columns for a table are defined.

The class used to do variable replacement in the templates is + <code>org.apache.fop.util.text.AdvancedMessageFormat</code> which is more powerful + than the <code>MessageFormat</code> classes provided by the Java class library + (<code>java.util.text</code> package). + </p> + <p> + "locator" is a template that is reused by the other message templates + by referencing it through "{{locator}}". This is some kind of include command. + </p> + <p> + Normal event parameters are accessed by name inside single curly braces, for example: + "{node}". For objects, this format just uses the <code>toString()</code> method to turn + the object into a string, unless there is an <code>ObjectFormatter</code> registered + for that type (there's an example for <code>org.xml.sax.Locator</code>). + </p> + <p> + The single curly braces pattern supports additional features. For example, it is possible + to do this: "{start,if,start,end}". "if" here is a special field modifier that evaluates + "start" as a boolean and if that is true returns the text right after the second comma + ("start"). Otherwise it returns the text after the third comma ("end"). The "equals" + modifier is similar to "if" but it takes as an additional (comma-separated) parameter + right after the "equals" modifier, a string that is compared to the value of the variable. + An example: {severity,equals,EventSeverity:FATAL,,some text} (this adds "some text" if + the severity is not FATAL). + </p> + <p> + Additional such modifiers can be added by implementing the + <code>AdvancedMessageFormat$Part</code> and <code>AdvancedMessageFormat$PartFactory</code> + interfaces. + </p> + <p> + Square braces can be used to specify optional template sections. The whole section will + be omitted if any of the variables used within are unavailable. Pipe (|) characters can + be used to specify alternative sub-templates (see "locator" above for an example). + </p> + <p> + Developers can also register a function (in the above example: + <code>{#gatherContextInfo})</code> + to do more complex information rendering. These functions are implementations of the + <code>AdvancedMessageFormat$Function</code> interface. Please take care that this is + done in a locale-independent way as there is no locale information available, yet. + </p> + </section> + </section> + </body> +</document>

It may contain errors or omissions. + Do not rely on these instructions without testing everything stated here. + If you use these instructions, please provide feedback on the + <a href="../maillist.html#fop-user">FOP User mailing list</a>, either + confirming their accuracy, or raising specific problems that we can + address.</warning> + <ul> + <li>The root of the pattern file is the <hyphenation-info> element.</li> + <li><hyphen-char>: its attribute "value" contains the character signalling + a hyphen in the <exceptions> section. It has nothing to do with the + hyphenation character used in FOP, use the XSLFO hyphenation-character + property for defining the hyphenation character there. At some points + a dash U+002D is hardwired in the code, so you'd better use this too + (patches to rectify the situation are welcome). There is no default, + if you declare exceptions with hyphenations, you must declare the + hyphen-char too.</li> + <li><hyphen-min> contains two attributes: + <ul> + <li>before: the minimum number of characters in a word allowed to exist + on a line immediately preceding a hyphenated word-break.</li> + <li>after: the minimum number of characters in a word allowed to exist + on a line immediately after a hyphenated word-break.</li> + </ul> + This element is unused and not even read. It should be considered a + documentation for parameters used during pattern generation. + </li> + <li><classes> contains whitespace-separated character sets. The members + of each set should be treated as equivalent for purposes of hyphenation, + usually upper and lower case of the same character. The first character + of the set is the canonical character, the patterns and exceptions + should only contain these canonical representation characters (except + digits for weight, the period (.) as word delimiter in the patterns and + the hyphen char in exceptions, of course).</li> + <li><exceptions> contains whitespace-separated words, each of which + has either explicit hyphen characters to denote acceptable breakage + points, or no hyphen characters, to indicate that this word should + never be hyphenated, or contain explicit <hyp> elements for specifying + changes of spelling due to hyphenation (like backen -> bak-ken or + Stoffarbe -> Stoff-farbe in the old german spelling). Exceptions override + the patterns described below. Explicit <hyp> declarations don't work + yet (patches welcome). Exceptions are generally a bit brittle, test + carefully.</li> + <li><patterns> includes whitespace-separated patterns, which are what + drive most hyphenation decisions. The characters in these patterns are + explained as follows: + <ul> + <li>non-numeric characters represent characters in a sub-word to be + evaluated</li> + <li>the period character (.) represents a word boundary, i.e. either + the beginning or ending of a word</li> + <li>numeric characters represent a scoring system for indicating the + acceptability of a hyphen in this location. Odd numbers represent an + acceptable location for a hyphen, with higher values overriding lower + inhibiting values. Even numbers indicate an unacceptable location, with + higher values overriding lower values indicating an acceptable position. + A value of zero (inhibiting) is implied when there is no number present. + Generally patterns are constructed so that valuse greater than 4 are rare. + Due to a bug currently patterns with values of 8 and greater don't + have an effect, so don't wonder.</li> + </ul> + Here are some examples from the English patterns file: + <ul> + <li>Knuth (<em>The TeXBook</em>, Appendix H) uses the example <strong>hach4</strong>, which indicates that it is extremely undesirable to place a hyphen after the substring "hach", for example in the word "toothach-es".</li> + <li><strong>.leg5e</strong> indicates that "leg-e", when it occurs at the beginning of a word, is a very good place to place a hyphen, if one is needed. Words like "leg-end" and "leg-er-de-main" fit this pattern.</li> + </ul> + Note that the algorithm that uses this data searches for each of the word's substrings in the patterns, and chooses the <em>highest</em> value found for letter combination. + </li> + </ul> + <p>If you want to convert a TeX hyphenation pattern file, you have to undo + the TeX encoding for non-ASCII text. FOP uses Unicode, and the patterns + must be proper Unicode too. You should be aware of the XML encoding issues, + preferably use a good Unicode editor.</p> + <p>Note that FOP does not do Unicode character normalization. If you use + combining chars for accents and other character decorations, you must + declare character classes for them, and use the same sequence of base character + and combining marks in the XSLFO source, otherwise the pattern wouldn't match. + Fortunately, Unicode provides precomposed characters for all important cases + in common languages, until now nobody run seriously into this issue. Some dead + languages and dialects, especially ancient ones, may pose a real problem + though.</p> + <p>If you want to generate your own patterns, an open-source utility called + patgen can be used to assist in creating pattern files from dictionaries. + It is available in many Unix/Linux distributions and every TeX distribution. + Pattern creation for languages like english or german is an art. Read + Frank Liang's original paper <a class="fork" href="http://www.tug.org/docs/liang/">"Word + Hy-phen-a-tion by Com-pu-ter"</a> (yes, with hyphens) for details. + The original patgen.web source, included in the TeX source distributions, + contains valuable comments, unfortunately technical details often obscure the + high level issues. Another important source of information is + <a class="fork" href="http://mirrors.ctan.org/systems/knuth/dist/tex/texbook.tex">The + TeX Book</a>, appendix H (either read the TeX source, or run it through + TeX to typeset it). Secondary articles, for example the works by Petr Sojka, + may also give some much needed insight into problems arising in automated + hyphenation.</p> + </section> + </body> +</document>

The first one + (let's call it the area tree XML format) is basically a 1:1 XML representation of FOP's + area tree as generated by the layout engine. The area tree is conceptually defined in the + <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/2001/REC-xsl-20011015/slice1.html#section-N742-Formatting">XSL-FO specification in chapter 1.1.2</a>. + Even though the area tree is mentioned in the XSL-FO specification, this part is not + standardized. Therefore, the area tree XML format is a FOP-proprietary XML file format. + The area tree XML can be generated through the area tree XML Renderer (the XMLRenderer). + </p> + <p> + The second intermediate format (which we shall name exactly like this: the intermediate + format) + is a recent addition which tries to meet a slightly different set of goals. It is highly + optimized for speed. + </p> + <p> + The intermediate format can be used to generate intermediate documents that are modified + before they are finally rendered to their ultimate output format. Modifications include + adjusting and changing trait values, adding or modifying area objects, inserting prefabricated + pages, overlays, imposition (n-up, rotation, scaling etc.). Multiple IF files can be combined + to a single output file. + </p> + </section> + <section id="which-if"> + <title>Which Intermediate Format to choose?</title> + <p> + Both formats have their use cases, so the choice you will make will depend on your + particular situation.

To be able to create the right + area tree for the ultimate output format, you need to create the area tree XML file using + the right font setup. This is achieved by telling the XMLRenderer to mimic another + renderer. This is done by calling the XMLRenderer's mimicRenderer() method with an + instance of the ultimate target renderer as the single parameter. This has a consequence: + An area tree XML file rendered with the Java2DRenderer may not look as expected when it + was actually generated for the PDF renderer. For renderers that use the same font setup, + this restriction does not apply (PDF and PS, for example). Generating the area tree XML + format file is the first step. + </p> + <p> + The second step is to reparse the file using the <strong>AreaTreeParser</strong> which is + found in the org.apache.fop.area package. The pages retrieved from the area tree XML file + are added to an AreaTreeModel instance from where they are normally rendered using one of + the available Renderer implementations. You can find examples for the area tree XML + processing in the + <a href="http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/xmlgraphics/fop/trunk/examples/embedding/java/embedding/intermediate/"><code>examples/embedding</code></a> + directory in the FOP distribution. + </p> + <p> + The basic pattern to parse the area tree XML format looks like this: + </p> + <source><![CDATA[ +FopFactory fopFactory = FopFactory.newInstance(); + +// Setup output +OutputStream out = new java.io.FileOutputStream(pdffile); +out = new java.io.BufferedOutputStream(out); +try { + //Setup fonts and user agent + FontInfo fontInfo = new FontInfo(); + FOUserAgent userAgent = fopFactory.newFOUserAgent(); + + //Construct the AreaTreeModel that will received the individual pages + AreaTreeModel treeModel = new RenderPagesModel(userAgent, + MimeConstants.MIME_PDF, fontInfo, out); + + //Parse the area tree file into the area tree + AreaTreeParser parser = new AreaTreeParser(); + Source src = new StreamSource(myIFFile); + parser.parse(src, treeModel, userAgent); + + //Signal the end of the processing. The renderer can finalize the target document. + treeModel.endDocument(); +} finally { + out.close(); +}]]></source> + <p> + This example simply reads an area tree file and renders it to a PDF file. Please note, that in normal + FOP operation you're shielded from having to instantiate the FontInfo object yourself. This + is normally a task of the AreaTreeHandler which is not present in this scenario. The same + applies to the AreaTreeModel instance, in this case an instance of a subclass called + RenderPagesModel. RenderPagesModel is ideal in this case as it has very little overhead + processing the individual pages. An important line in the example is the call to + <code>endDocument()</code> on the AreaTreeModel. This lets the Renderer know that the processing + is now finished. + </p> + <p> + The area tree XML format can also be used from the <a href="running.html#standalone-start">command-line</a> + by using the "-atin" parameter for specifying the area tree XML as input file. You can also + specify a "mimic renderer" by inserting a MIME type between "-at" and the output file. + </p> + <section id="concat"> + <title>Concatenating Documents</title> + <p> + This initial example is obviously not very useful. It would be faster to create the PDF file + directly. As the <a href="http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/xmlgraphics/fop/trunk/examples/embedding/java/embedding/atxml/ExampleConcat.java">ExampleConcat.java</a> + example shows you can easily parse multiple area tree files in a row and add the parsed pages to the + same AreaTreeModel instance which essentially concatenates all the input document to one single + output document. + </p> + </section> + <section id="modifying"> + <title>Modifying Documents</title> + <p> + One of the most important use cases for this format is obviously modifying the area + tree XML before finally rendering it to the target format. You can easily use XSLT to process + the AT XML file according to your needs. Please note, that we will currently not formally describe + the area tree XML format. You need to have a good understanding its structure so you don't + create any non-parseable files. We may add an XML Schema and more detailed documentation at a + later time. You're invited to help us with that. + </p> + <note> + The area tree XML format is sensitive to changes in whitespace. If you're not careful, + the modified file may not render correctly. + </note> + </section> + <section id="advanced"> + <title>Advanced Use</title> + <p> + The generation of the area tree format as well as it parsing process has been designed to allow + for maximum flexibility and optimization. Please note that you can call <code>setTransformerHandler()</code> on + XMLRenderer to give the XMLRenderer your own TransformerHandler instance in case you would like to + do custom serialization (to a W3C DOM, for example) and/or to directly modify the area tree using + XSLT. The AreaTreeParser on the other side allows you to retrieve a ContentHandler instance where + you can manually send SAX events to to start the parsing process (see <code>getContentHandler()</code>). + </p> + </section> + </section> + <section id="usage-if"> + <title>Usage of the Intermediate Format (IF)</title> + <p> + The Intermediate Format (IF) is generated by the <strong>IFSerializer</strong> + (MIME type: <strong>application/X-fop-intermediate-format</strong>). + So, you basically set the right MIME type for the output format and process your FO files + as if you would create a PDF file. + </p> + <p> + The IFSerializer is an implementation of the <strong>IFDocumentHandler</strong> and + <strong>IFPainter</strong> interfaces. The <strong>IFRenderer</strong> class is responsible + for converting FOP's area tree into calls against these two interfaces. + </p> + <ul> + <li> + IFDocumentHandler: This interface is used on the document-level and defines the + overall structure of the Intermediate Format. + </li> + <li> + IFPainter: This interface is used to generate graphical page content like text, images + and borders. + </li> + </ul> + <p> + As with the AT XML, there is an important detail to consider: The various output + implementations don't all use the same font sources. To be able + to create the right IF for the ultimate output file, you need to create the IF file using + the right font setup. This is achieved by telling the IFRenderer (responsible for + converting the area tree into calls to the IFDocumentHandler and IFPainter interfaces) + to mimic another renderer. This is done by calling the IFSerializer's + mimicDocumentHandler() method with an instance of the ultimate target document handler + as the single parameter. This has a consequence: An IF file rendered with the + Java2DDocumentHandler may not look as expected when it was actually generated for the PDF + implementation. For implementations that use the same font setup, + this restriction does not apply (PDF and PS, for example). Generating the Intermediate + Format file is the first step. + </p> + <p> + The second step is to reparse the file using the <strong>IFParser</strong> which is + found in the org.apache.fop.render.intermediate package. The IFParser simply takes an + IFDocumentHandler instance against which it generates the appropriate calls. The IFParser + is implemented as a SAX ContentHandler so you're free to choose the method for + post-processing the IF file(s). You can use XSLT or write SAX- or DOM-based code to + manipulate the contents. You can find examples for the Intermediate Format + processing in the + <a href="http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/xmlgraphics/fop/trunk/examples/embedding/java/embedding/intermediate/"><code>examples/embedding</code></a> + directory in the FOP distribution. + </p> + <p> + The basic pattern to parse the intermediate format looks like this: + </p> + <source><![CDATA[ +FopFactory fopFactory = FopFactory.newInstance(); + +// Setup output +OutputStream out = new java.io.FileOutputStream(pdffile); +out = new java.io.BufferedOutputStream(out); +try { + //Setup user agent + FOUserAgent userAgent = fopFactory.newFOUserAgent(); + + //Create IFDocumentHandler instance + IFDocumentHandler targetHandler; + String mime = MimeConstants.MIME_PDF; + targetHandler = fopFactory.getRendererFactory().createDocumentHandler( + userAgent, mime); + + //Setup fonts + IFUtil.setupFonts(targetHandler); + + //Tell the target handler where to write the PDF to + targetHandler.setResult(new StreamResult(pdffile)); + + //Parse the IF file + IFParser parser = new IFParser(); + Source src = new StreamSource(myIFFile); + parser.parse(src, targetHandler, userAgent); + +} finally { + out.close(); +}]]></source> + <p> + This example simply reads an intermediate file and renders it to a PDF file.

As the + <a href="http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/xmlgraphics/fop/trunk/examples/embedding/java/embedding/intermediate/ExampleConcat.java">ExampleConcat.java</a> + example shows you can easily parse multiple intermediate files in a row and use the + IFConcatenator class to concatenate page sequences from multiple source files to a single + output file.

Version 0.92 introduced the <strong>new stable + API</strong>. + </li> + <li> + Since version 0.92 some deprecated methods which were part + of the old API have been removed. If you upgrade from 0.91 + beta, you will need to adjust your Java code. Similarly if + you upgrade from 0.92 and use deprecated methods. + </li> + <li> + If you are using a configuration file for version 0.20.5, you have to rebuild it in the new format. The format + of the configuration files has changed since version 0.20.5. See conf/fop.xconf for + an example configuration file. A XML Schema file can be found under + src/foschema/fop-configuration.xsd. + </li> + <li> + Beginning with version 0.94 you can skip the generation of + font metric files and remove the "font-metrics" attribute + in the font configuration. In the unlikely case that due to + a bug you still need to use font metrics files you will need + to regenerate the font metrics file if yours are from a FOP + version before 0.93. + </li> + <li> + <p> + The new code is much more strict about the interpretation of the XSL-FO specification. + Things that worked fine in version 0.20.5 might start to produce warnings or even errors + now. FOP 0.20.5 contains many bugs which have been corrected in the new code. + </p> + <note label="An example"> + While FOP 0.20.5 allowed you to have empty <code>fo:table-cell</code> elements, the new code + will complain about that (unless relaxed validation is enabled) because the specification + demands at least one block-level element (<code>(%block;)+</code>, see + <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/xsl/#fo_table-cell">XSL-FO 1.1, 6.7.10</a>) + inside an <code>fo:table-cell</code> element. + </note> + </li> + <li> + Extensions and Renderers written for version 0.20.5 will not work with the new code! The new FOP + extension for <a href="http://barcode4j.sourceforge.net">Barcode4J</a> is available since + January 2007. + </li> + <li> + The SVG Renderer and the MIF Handler have not yet been resurrected! They are currently non-functional + and hope for someone to step up and reimplement them. + </li> + </ul> + <p> + When you use your existing FO files or XML/XSL files which work fine with FOP version + 0.20.5 against this FOP version some things may not work as expected. The following + list will hopefully help you to identify and correct those problems. + </p> + <ul> + <li> + Check the <a href="../compliance.html">Compliance page</a> for the feature causing + trouble. It may contain the necessary information to understand and resolve the problem. + </li> + <li> + Not all 0.20.5 output formats are supported. PDF and Postscript should be fully supported. + See <a href="output.html">Output Targets</a> for a more complete description. + </li> + <li> + As stated above, empty table cells <code><fo:table-cell></fo:table-cell></code> + are not allowed by the specification. The same applies to empty <code>fo:static-content</code> + and <code>fo:block-container</code> elements, for example. + </li> + <li> + Version 0.20.5 is not XSL-FO compliant with respect to sizing images (<code>external-graphic</code>) + or <code>instream-foreign-object</code> + objects. If images or SVGs are sized differently in your outputs with the new FOP version + check <a href="http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=37136">Bug 37136</a> + as it contains some hints on what to do.
