**** THINGS TO DO ****
Support XSL Working Draft 27 March 2000
1.One category of tasks will be to implement missing formatting objects.
There are 6 (7) such objects:
fo:character (?)
fo:external-graphic
fo:leader
fo:table-and-caption
fo:table-header
fo:multi-case
fo:wrapper
2.A second category of tasks will be to update existing objects.
This typically entails renaming modifications. There are at least 3 of these:
fo:page-sequence-master
fo:single-page-master-reference
fo:repeatable-page-master-reference
3.A third category of tasks is to retire obsolescent objects. The primary issue
here seems to be the migration of FOP from officially supporting
DisplayGraphic and InlineGraphic FO's to officially supporting at least an
ExternalGraphic FO, and ideally also the InstreamForeignObject FO, the latter
aimed at SVG support.
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
11.href (Dropped/Changed)
14.page-master-even (Dropped/Changed)
15.page-master-first (Dropped/Changed)
16.page-master-name (Dropped/Changed)
17.page-master-odd (Dropped/Changed)
18.page-master-repeating (Dropped/Changed)
21.space-after.optimum (Incomplete)
22.space-before.optimum (Incomplete)
25.white-space-treatment (Dropped/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 46.src
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) Don't use 'make' any longer and make sure that build.sh and build.bat work
b) Add the property files to the source code (how is the vote on this?)
c) update the examples to the new spec
d) add examples so that all the FOs supported are used in some example
**** Bugs ****
- SVG linearGradients don't appear the same as in other SVG Viewers
- colour not continued onto subsequent pages if coloured block goes over page
- no SVG support in AWTCommandLine
- keep-next doesn't work and doubles the text lines which should be moved to the next page
- pdf files created with Fop don't print correctly on postscript printers
- lists containing list do not keep their indentation correctly over a page boundary
- id references are marked as illegally doubled, if they are first layouted at the bottom of a page
and then moved to the next page
with AWT Previewer:
- currently the layout process uses PDF fonts. This gives sometimes
trouble with java.awt.Font
- we need some progress messages even if the process itself is fast
- GIF format is supported by the viewer, but disabled in FOP. BMP is
not done, because there are no standard libraries.
- more comments/english comments
- first preview is painted twice (flashing screen)
- should "preview" be an option when calling FOP instead of having
it's own main method?
