AW: [docbook-apps] PDF transformation: Why is the right border of my inline "box" missing when I transform to PDF. It works for HTML and Oxygen XML Editor.

Hi,

this is my xsl:

<xsl:template match="d:guibutton">

                <fo:inline border-left="1pt solid gray"

                                border-top="1pt solid gray"

                                border-bottom="2pt solid black"

                                border-right="2pt solid black"

                                vertical-align="middle">

                                <xsl:apply-imports />

</fo:inline>

</xsl:template>

 

This ist the xml:

<title>Button</title>

<informalexample>

<para>Klicken Sie auf

<guibutton>

<accel>S</accel>peichern

</guibutton>

um die Änderungen zu übernehmen

</para>

<informalexample>

 

This will result in this (image)

 

And in this (fo):

<fo:block space-before.optimum="1em" space-before.minimum="0.8em" space-before.maximum="1.2em">Klicken Sie auf

<fo:inline border-left="1pt solid gray" border-top="1pt solid gray" border-bottom="2pt solid black" border-right="2pt solid black"
 vertical-align="middle">

                              
<fo:inline text-decoration="underline">S</fo:inline>peichern

</fo:inline>

<fo:block>

um die Änderungen zu übernehmen

 

We’re using db5, rng, docbook-xsl-ns-1.76.1 with xsltproc and Apache-fop 1.0.

 

Maybe this can help you.

 

Regards

Dominic

Hi,

we tried to come up with a solution, but it didn´t work.

After all, we considered that it would be best to reset the entire schema and stylesheet back to "factory settings". Starting from scratch seemed to be a good idea to find the error (we created
 a backup). All that remained was Oxygens supplied version of Docbook 5.0.

We added our button style to the styelsheet:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<xsl:stylesheet

xml:lang="de"

xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"

xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format"

xmlns:d = "http://docbook.org/ns/docbook"

xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude"

xmlns:exsl="http://exslt.org/common"

exclude-result-prefixes="d"

version="1.0">

<xsl:import href="">

<xsl:template match="d:button">

<fo:inline background-color="#D3D3D3" border-style="solid" border-width="thin" > 

<xsl:apply-templates/> 

</fo:inline>

</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet> 

as well as a matching counterpart to the schema docbookxi.rng. Everything else remained the same.

However, the borders were still missing when transforming to PDF

After all, the bottom line is that:

- Except of the border, our custom style is working just fine. There is a link between stylesheet and schema

- Its not Adobe Reader (Zoom etc.)

- Its not our stylesheet or schema

So what´s the problem?

- Is it possible that Oxygen and its FO processor cannot handle our custom style? I know you told me that it´s propably not Saxxon, but is possible?

- How did you (@Simon) manage to successfully transform our style to PDF?

- Is is possible that Oxygen supplied an old or at least buggy version of DocBook 5.0?

- How is it possible that our styles works if we use fo:block instead? We have several "boxes" in our manuals and their all rendered correctly.

Thanks for your help.

Greetings,

Daniel Keyes

No Daniel, very unlikely. Saxon is probably the most conformant

and well tested processor.
