Dave, you are right, my proposal is definitely not portable. If all the REC were implemented by a high number of fo processors, I would have used something very close from what you have written in your online fo intro, using fo:leader to fill the space with harmony. (for other readers : see http://www.dpawson.co.uk/xsl/sect3/bk/ch08.html, example 8.15). unfortunately, we have to use workarounds until the REC is implemented. I look forward to this day. Our today option is to make our code ready to follow the REC implementation to come. If one uses an ugly workaround instead of a clean would be REC compliant code, one should wrap it in a specific xsl template that will be easily updated without changing anything else. Thanks for pointing this out Dave. Your .02euros were nicely spent :)) Regards Cyril At 17:56 25/02/2002 +0000, you wrote: >>something like : >> >><fo:block> >> <fo:inline>the first bit of text</fo:inline> >> <fo:leader leader-length="20mm" leader-pattern="space" /> >> <fo:inline>the second bit of text</fo:inline> >> <fo:leader leader-pattern="space" leader-length="20mm" /> >> <fo:inline>the third bit of text</fo:inline> >></fo:block> > >And its not really portable. >the more flexible option, of using fo:leader as 'rubber' space as per tex >is not implemented consistantly, i.e. its not defined hard enough in the >rec :-) >It is needed though.
