Thanks Tony.
If the wiki is available I'll post it there. Otherwise, summary of this thread.
Formatter feedback.
1. Ken Holman. Fit this (block id) into this (area) space using:
Prioritized list of variable parameters. (E.g. reduce font/
reduce line spacing ....)
Collated in http://www.w3.org/TR/xslfo20/
section 4.11 (I believe this is open to the public)
2. David Carlisle. Better (than what?) ToC and Page reference feedback.
TBC.
DP: Provide page number of last page containing content.
3. Patrick Gundlach. 9.41 8 Feb
I believe this to be a variant of Ken Holman ideas?
put text onto virtual page
start:
if height(virtual page) < remaining space on this page then
put page into pdf
else
retypeset the virtual page with a smaller font
goto start
end
put virtual page into pdf
4. Liam Quin. Making one object the same width or height as another,
asking whether a piece of text (as) fits in a given space so as to
give alternate content (which we did discuss), and accessing font
metrics for positioning all come to mind.
DP. I like the idea of 'fit this block', if it doesn't fit (with or
without parameters) then 'fit this other' block.
5. From the 2.0 WD
Line number within a page
Page based footnote numbering
