Re: fop on windows

The trouble is that some XSLT implementations don't properly provide
location information for the output elements they generate. Therefore,
FOP cannot tell you where the problem happens (FOP just receives a
series of SAX events). You can work around that by generating the XSL-FO
file in a first step and then run that through FOP. FOP will then give
you the information where exactly you have an empty table-cell. Of
course, you then have to track that back into your XSLT stylesheet. HTH.
